<P>Concurrent chemotherapy with radiotherapy (CCRT) has been applied for the treatment of advanced stage of head and neck cancer patients. However CCRT is associated with several complications including mucositis, dermatitis, stomatitis, etc. This study was conducted to evaluate the therapeutic effect of systemically administrated recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) in CCRT-induced oral mucositis in a mouse model. Oral mucositis was induced in male BALB/c mice through combination treatment with cisplatin (11 mg/kg, i.p.) and irradiation (17 Gy) of the head and neck area. rhEGF (1.0 mg/kg/day for consecutive 3 days) was administered systemically, and the therapeutic effect was determined by histological evaluation of the oral mucosa. To elucidate optimal dose of rhEGF on CCRT-induced mucositis, various concentrations (0.04–3 mg/kg) of rhEGF were injected for 3 days. Systemic rhEGF administration accelerated the recovery of body weight. Histologically, rhEGF-treated mice showed significantly increased epithelial cell layer thickness, basal cell number, and expression of Ki-67 compared to control mice. Most effective dose was 1 mg/kg among other doses tested. Systemic administration of 1 mg/kg of rhEGF reduces the severity of oral mucositis induced by CCRT in a mouse model, suggesting that rhEGF can be used for treating CCRT-induced mucositis during the cancer treatment.</P>

cDNA microarray allows to monitor the expression of thousthand genes simultaneously and has been successfully to explore the gene expression of carcinoma and other diseases. To identify and monitor gene expression profile changes in oral tumorigenesis and exposure to medicine may shed light not only on the cause of these pathological changes, but also provide the opportunity to identify novel targets for disease detection and intervention. Retinoids and interferon are important regulators of human epithelial cell differentiation and have been used successfully in the clinical treatment of HPV-involved cervical cancer. However, there is only a limited information available concerning to the effect or role of retinoic acid in oral precancerous and cancer cells. We studied the effect of retinoic acid on normal human oral keratinocyte(NHOK), HPV-16 E6E7 immortalized human oral keratinocyte(IHOK), and two oral squamous cell line(HNSCC30, HNSCC31) according to the carcinogenesis stage. The RA effect was evaluated by MTT assay and microarray. Complementary DNA microarray including 400 genes was used to systematically characterize the variation in gene expression patterns of RA treated IHOK cells vs. control IHOK cells . The results were as follows: 1. RA has negative effect on growth for all NHOK, IHOK, HNSCC30 and HNSCC31 dependently on the concentration and cultivation time. 2. We identified 18 clones cDNA exhibiting more than 2 fold overexpression in RA treated IHOK probes relative to control probe, 21 cDNA s reveal more than 2 fold overexpression in control IHOK relating to the experimental cells. Pearson correlation coefficients for the set of selected spots from duplicated hybridization was 0.86. 3. Examination of gene expression that differs between RA treated IHOK and control IHOK cells apprear to be related to : cell cycle regulator, cell growth and apoptosis, cell adhesion, signal transduction and miscellanous. 4. Cell cycle regulator uprgulation is noted in MAD2, CDK9, Cdc20, Cdc2, CDK inhibitor 1A, and only HUS-1 is downregulated. 5. Cytochrome P450 and interleukin 1-alpha for cell growth and apoptosis factor was upregualted, and capase 8 & FADD apotosis regualtor gene was decreased expression, so we observed increased apoptosis mecahnism and resistance to apoptosis. 6. Cytokine upregulation in RA treated IHOK was noted in interIeukin 1 alpha, downregualtion was in interleukin 8, interleukin 10, interleukin 10 receptor, interleukin 3 receptor, interleukin 9 receptor, and interleukin 19 7. Signal transducers including JAK binding protein, STAT1, and Burkitt lymphoma receptor were upregulated with RA reated IHOK , suggesting the RA regulates the JAK/STAT signal-transduction pathway. In conclusion, we have demonstrated the high-throughput utility of cDNA array hybridization in parallel to the gene expression analysis to identify genes that are expressed differentially in RA treated with HPV16 immortalized keratinocytes. The differentially expressed genes identified here should be informative in oral epithelial cell carcinogenesis.

Background: The purpose of this study was to document the incidence and clinical characteristics of patients with tuberculosis (TB) in combat and auxiliary police, living in a group, in Korea where the incidence rate of active TB in a general population is higher than in Western countries. Materials and Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all tuberculosis patients diagnosed at National Police Hospital from January 2002 through December 2004. Results:In 2002-2004, a total of 156 cases of tuberculosis were identified with the mean (Standard deviation) age of 20.6 (±1.0) years. Of these, 134 (85.9%) patients were registered as new cases, 11 (7.1%) as relapse, 2 (1.3%) as failure, 5 (3.1%) as treatment-after-default cases whereas 4 (2.6 %) patients were not included in any categories. Average annual new TB rate and smear-positive TB rate were 86.5/10^(5) and 17.4/10^(5) person-years, respectively. In 12 of 31 smear-positive cases, time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis was more than 30 days. Two multidrug-resistance TB cases were identified and two suspected outbreak episodes of TB had occurred during 3 years. Conclusion:There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence rate of new cases of TB between the general population aged 20 to 29 years and combat and auxiliary police in Korea. 배경 : 국내 결핵의 발생은 감소 추세에 있으나 여전히 후진국형 발생양상을 보이고 있다. 특히 집단생활을 하는 젊은이들에서 발생하는 결핵의 유행이 간헐적으로 알려지고 있어 우려를 낳고 있다. 이에 저자들은 최근 전경대원의 결핵 발병 양상에 대해 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 2002년 1월부터 2004년 12월까지 3년간 경찰병원에서 결핵 진료를 받은 전경대원의 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하여 연도별 결핵 신환발생률, 도말양성결핵 신환율, 진단 지연, 집단발병, 다제내성결핵을 조사하였다. 결과 : 연도별 결핵 신환자 수(10만명당 발생추정치)는 2002년 50명(83.6명), 2003년 42명(83.7명), 2004년 42명(93.5명)이었고 도말양성 폐결핵 신환자 수는 2002년 10명(16.7명), 2003년 11명(21.9명), 2004년 6명(13.4명)이었다. 3년간 도말양성 폐결핵 환자는 31명이 있었고 그 중 12명은 호흡기 증상 발생 30일이 지나서 진단을 받았다. 다제내성 결핵은 2명이 있었으며 결핵의 집단발병이 의심되는 사례는 2차례 있었다. 결론 : 전경대원과 20-29세 연령군 일반인의 결핵 신환발생률, 도말양성 폐결핵 발생률의 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다.

Shell structures provide a very efficient structural shape because of their ability to support significant loads with a minimum material. The accurate stress-deformation analysis of reinforced concrete thin shells of revolution is very difficult usally. But it is almost impossible to calculate the exact solution because of the complexity of mechanics of shells. The purpose of this study is to devlope a computer program for stress-deformation analysis of thin shells of revolution. A numerical stress and deformation analysis of shell structures are performed by using FEM(Finite Element Method). For efficient use of computer's memory, user can easily change the array number of this program to save the memory at any time. And also this program have some subroutines so that user can add other subroutine which made by user instantly. So in this paper, stress, strain and displacement of shells will be approximated by using the curved shell element. As the result, it is shown that this numerical computer program nearly approximate to the exact solution.

재조합 대장균에서 대량발현 시킨 Citrobacter freundii KCTC 2006 유래이 효소 β-tyrosinase를 이용하여 pyrocatechol, sodium pyruvate, ammonium acetate로부터 3,4-dihydroxy phenyl-L-alanine을 생산하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 이 효소반응에 적합한 온도 및 pH 조건은 각각 18℃와 8.5로 결정되었고, 반응액 중의 ammonium acetate와 sodium pyruvate의 농도는 각각 300 mM, 50 mM 이상으로 조절하는 것이 적합하였다. Pyrocatechol의 경우는 20 mM에서 가장 높은 반응성을 나타냈으나, 기질을 반복적으로 첨가하며 장시간 동안 효소반응을 수행하는 경우에는 pyrocatechol의 고갈을 피하기 위하여, 20 mM에서 50 mM 사이로 조절하였다. 한편, 반응액 중에 ethanol을 10% 첨가한 경우에는 반응속도가약 20% 증가하였다. 이상과 같은 효소반응특성에 기초하여 조제한 기질용액에 β-tyrosinase를 1 unit/㎖ 농도로 가하고, pyrocatechol과 pyruvate가 고갈되지 않도록 간헐적으로 첨가하면서 효소반응을 수행한 결과, 24시간 만에 85.2%의 수율로 31.6g/ℓ의 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine를 생산할 수 있었다. By using the β-tyrosinase of Citrobacter freundii KCTC2006, which was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli, 3,4-dihydroxy phenyl-L-alanine (L-DOPA) was synthesized efficiently from pyrocatechol, sodium pyruvate, and ammonium acetate. Optimal temperature and pH for the reaction were determined to be about 18℃ and 8.5, respectively. The effects of substrate concentrations were also examined at different concentrations of ammonium acetate, sodium pyruvate, and pyrocatechol. Ammonium acetate and sodium pyruvate increased the reaction rate until the concentrations reached to 300 mM and 50 mM, respectively. Although pyrocatechol showed the optimal concentration at 20 mM, it was controlled between 20 mM and 50 mM to avoid the depletion of substrate during the enzymatic synthesis. Based on above results, a reaction medium for the production of L-DOPA was prepared and incubated with 1 unit/㎖ of β-tyrosinase. Pyrocatechol and sodium pyruvate was added to the reaction solution intermittently to avoid the substrate depletion during the enzymatic reaction. After 24 hour of reaction, 31.6 g/ℓ L-DOPA was accumulated in the reaction solution as soluble and precipitated ones and the conversion yield was about 85.2%.

Any fracture passing through the socket of a teeth is compounded intraorally, even if the fracture is not displaced and the tooth is firm in its socket. Before the advent of antibiotic therapy the danger of infection in a compounded fracture posed severe problems in treatment. Infection is reduced by antibiotic therapy but prolonged use of antibiotics is not justified in an attempt to save a tooth which might eventually be sacrificed. There is still controversy in the management of third molar in mandibualr angle fracture, particularly in regard to their retention or removal at the time of fracture treatment. So we surveyed the 159 patients who were treated with open reduction of mandibular angle fracture containing third molar in fracture line, and compared with the postoperative infection rate depending on time intervals between injury and operation, eruption state of third molar, non-extraction or extraction of third molar related to eruption state, non-extraction or extraction of third molar related to condiition of third molar and its surrounding periodontium and were to propose treatment guidline of third molar in mandibular angle fracture The results obtained were as follows : 1.There were no statistical significance between the time from injury to operation and postoperative infection. 2.There were no statistical significance between eruption state of third molar and postoperative infection. 3.In case of retention of the third molar, there were no statistical significance between eruption state of third molar and postoperative infection, but in case of extraction, postoperative infection was high rate in complete impacted cases. 4.There were no statistical significance between non-extraction or extraction of third molar and postoperative infection depending on condition of third molar. There are no difference in infection rate statistically according to the time from injury to operation, eruption state and condition of third molar, but retention of third molar revealed lowered infection rate in completely impacted cases. By terms of the manegement of third molar, we should extract or preserve third molar in the line of the mandibular angle fracture according to possibility of infection.

이영문,양승한,장승일,백승기,김선일,이동식 한국공작기계학회 2002 한국생산제조학회지 Vol.11 No.5

In an end milling process, the undeformed chip section and cutting forces vary periodically with the phase change of the tool. However, the real undeformed chip section area deviates from the geometrically ideal one owing to the cutter runout and tool shape error. In the current study, a method of estimating the real undeformed chip section area which reflects the cutter runout and tool shape error is presented during up-end milling processes of Inconel 718. The specific cutting forces, K_r and K_t are defined as the radial and tangential cutting forces divided by the modified chip section area, respectively. Both of the K_r and K_t values become smaller as the helix angle increases from 30˚ to 40˚. Whereas they become larger as the helix angle increases from 40˚ to 50˚. The K_r and K_t values show a tendency to decrease with increase of the modified chip section area.
