Background: Korean Red ginseng extract (KRGE) has beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system by improving endothelial cell function. However, its pharmacological effect on endothelial cell senescence has not been clearly elucidated. Therefore, we examined the effect and molecular mechanism of KRGE on the senescence of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Methods: HUVECs were grown in normal or KRGE-supplemented medium. Furthermore, they were transfected with heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene or treated with its inhibitor, a NF-κB inhibitor, and a miR-155-5p mimic or inhibitor. Senescence-associated characteristics of endothelial cells were determined by biochemical and immunohistochemical analyses. Results: Treatment of HUVECs with KRGE resulted in delayed onset and progression of senescence-associated characteristics, such as increased lysosomal acidic β-galactosidase and decreased telomerase activity, angiogenic dysfunction, and abnormal cell morphology. KRGE preserved the levels of anti-senescent factors, such as eNOS-derived NO, MnSOD, and cyclins D and A: however, it decreased the levels of senescence-promoting factors, such as ROS, activated NF-κB, endothelial cell inflammation, and p21 expression. The beneficial effects of KRGE were due to the induction of HO-1 and the inhibition of NF-κB-dependent biogenesis of miR-155-5p that led to the downregulation of eNOS. Moreover, treatment with inhibitors of HO-1, NF-κB, and miR-155-5p abolished the anti-senescence effects of KRGE. Conclusion: KRGE delayed or prevented HUVEC senescence through a signaling cascade involving the induction of HO-1, the inhibition of NF-κB-dependent miR-155-5p biogenesis, and the maintenance of the eNOS/NO axis activity, suggesting that it may protect against vascular diseases associated with endothelial senescence.

연구목적 : 본 시험의 목적은 임상시험 시작전에 연구자들을 대상으로 PANSS Workshop을 통하여 PANSS, ESRS에 대한 국내에서의 표준화 작업을 구축하고 새로운 정신병 치료제인 리스페리돈의 효과와 안정성을 재확인하여 리스페리돈 사용에 대한 적정화를 이루는데 있다. 연구방법 : 1996년 4월부터 1996년 9월까지 국내 39개 대학병원 정신과에 입원중인 혹은 증상이 악화되어 입원하는 정신분열병 환자 377명을 대상으로 다시설 개방 연구를 시행하였다. 1주일간의 약물 배설기간을 가진후, 리스페리돈을 8주간 투여하였고, 기준점, 1주, 2주, 4주, 그리고 8주후에 평가되었다. 용량은 제1일에는 리스페리돈 1mg씩 1일 2회, 제2일에는 2mg씩 1일 2회, 제3∼7일에는 3mg씩 1일 2회 투여하였다. 이후 환자의 임상상태에 따라 임의로 증량할 수 있으며, 최대 일일 16mg을 초과하지 않도록 하였다. 추체외로 증상을 조절하기 위한 투약을 허용하였다. 임상증상 및 부작용의 평가는 PANSS(Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), CGI(Clinical Global Impression) 그리고 ESRS(Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale)을 사용하였다. 연구결과 : 377명중 343명(91%)이 8주간의 연구를 완결하였다. 치료 종결시점인 8주후 PANSS 총점수가 20% 이상 호전된 경우를 약물 반응군으로 정의할때, 약물반응군은 81.3%였다. 리스페리돈에 반응하는 예측인자로는 발병연령, 이전의 입원 횟수, 유병기간이 관련 있었다. 리스페리돈은 1주후부터 PANSS양성, 음성, 및 일반정신병리 점수상에 유의한 호전을 보여 효과가 빨랐다. CGI의 경우도 기준점에 비해 1주후부터 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. ESRS의 경우, 파킨슨 평가점수는 기준점과 비교해 투여 1주, 2주, 4주후 유의하게 증가되었다가 8주후 기준점과 차이가 없었다. Dystonia 평가점수는 1주후만 유의한 증가를 보였으며, dyskinesia 평가점수는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈압, 맥박수의 생명징후 및 일반 혈액학 검사, 생화학적 검사, 심전도 검사에서 유의한 변화는 없었다. 결 론 : 이상의 다시설 개방 임상 연구를 통해 리스페리돈은 정신분열병 환자에서 양성증상뿐만 아니라 음성증상 및 전반적인 증상에도 효과적인 것으로 사료된다. 보다 명확한 평가를 위해서는 다른 항정신병약물과의 이중맹검 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 또한 장기적 치료에 대한 평가도 함께 이루어져야 하겠다. Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of risperidone in the treatment of Korean schizophrenic patients. Method : This multicenter open study included 377 schizophrenic patients drawn from 39 university hospitals. After a wash-out period of 1 week, the schizophrenic patients were treated with risperidone for 8 weeks and evaluated at 5 points ; at baseline, and 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. The dose was increased from 2mg/day(1mg twice daily) to 6mg/day(3mg twice daily) during the first week and adjusted to a maximum of 16mg/day over the next 7 weeks according to the patient's clinical response. Medication to control extrapyramidal symptoms was permitted. The psychiatric and neurological status of the patients was assessed by PANSS, CGI, and ESRS scales. Results : 343(91%) of 377 patients completed the 8-week trial period. Clinical improvement, as defined by a 20% or more reduction in total PANSS score at end point, was shown by 81.3% of patients. The predictors of response to risperidone were associated older age, shorter duration of illness, fewer previous hospitalization. Risperidone had rapid onset of action ; a significant decrease of the total PANSS and three PANSS factor(positive, negative, general), and CGI was already noticed at the end of first week. For the ESRS, parkinsonism rating scores were significantly increased until week 4 comparing with baseline. Dystonia rating scores were significantly increased until week 1, and dyskinesia rating scores were not significantly changed during the study. Laboratory parameters including vital sign, EKG, hematological, and biochemical values showed no significant changes during the trial. Conclusions : This study suggests that risperidone is generally safe and effective against both the positive and negative symptoms in our group of patients.

Lactate Dehydrogenase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was separated. Yeast cultured in glucose media were obtained by centrifuge from broth and cell pellet was stored in freezer at -20℃. The cell in the freezed yeast pellet suspended in 0.01M phosphate buffer(pH=7.0), was destrupted by French press. After cell destruption, supernatant prepared by centrifuge to remove cell debris was fractionally crystallized with (NH4)2SO4 to gain enzyme. The lactate dehydrogenase had maximum yield at 40-60% saturation of (NH4)2SO4, and precipitates were stored again in freezer at -20℃. To obtain more purified enzyme, we loaded protein sample on chromatography column packed with Sephadex G-200 or DEAE Bio-Gel A. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase separated by Sephadex G-200 column chromatography was 84U/mg, and 9.47 times higher than that of crude solution. Futhermore, the activity of lactate dehydrogenase separated by DEAE Bio-Gel A column chromatography was 4118U/mg, this value was 464 times higher than that of crude solution.

나프타분해플랜트의 부탄추출공정에서 부탄증기의 연속 누출에 의한 제트화재와 플래쉬화재의 사고결과에 대한 영향을 평가하고 사고결과에 미치는 공정변수들의 영향을 해석하였다. 877 kPa과 346.75K의 공정조건에서 부탄증기가 87.8 kg/s의 속도로 8m의 높이에서 연속누출되는 경우에 표준조건으로 설정한 대기 및 환경조건에서 사고결과를 해석한 결과, 제트화재에서는 화염의 형태와 크기를 예측할 수 있었으며 누출지점으로부터 200m에서 API모델로 산출한 목사열은 약 5kW/m^2이었고 플래쉬화재가 일어날 수 있는 연소범위는 11.2~120.2m이었다. 그리고 사고결과에 미치는 조업압력의 영향은 조업온도보다 크며 압력이 증가할수록 사고결과 값이 증가하였다. 이때 플래쉬화재에서 X_UFL에 미치는 공정압력의 영향은 X_LFL에서보다 약 1/10이하를 나타내었다. The consequence analysis for jet and flash fire accidents by the continuous release of butane vapor was performed and effects of process variables on consequences were analyzed in standard conditions. For the continuous release(87.8 kg/s) of butane vapor at 8 m elevated height in the debutanizing process of the naphtha cracking plant operating at 877 kPa, 346.75 K, we found that for the jet fire accident, shape and size of the flame could be predicted and thermal radiation estimated by API model at 200 m distance from release point was 1.5 kW/m^2, and that for the flash fire accident, effect range was 11.2~120.2m. Also, simulation results showed that effects of operating pressures on consequences were large than those of operating temperatures and results of accidents were increased with increasing operating pressures. At this time, effects of operating pressures on X_UFL. were smaller

High quality Ta₂O? dielectric films were deposited by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (LPMO-CVD) from Ta(OC₂H?)? and oxygen. The microstructure and Ta₂O?/SiO₂/Si interfacial properties were investigated by XRD, SIMS, SNMS, RBS, SEM and TEM, XRD analysis showed that the structure of as-deposited thin films was amorphous, but it was crystallized to orthorhombic β-Ta₂O? by after-annealing at temperatures higher than 700˚C. The SiO₂layer at TiO₂/Si interface is strongly dependent on after-annealing conditions and dominates the electrical properties of Ta₂O? thin films on Si.

Dental resin composites were introduced commercially in the mid-1960s for the restoration of anterior teeth. Since their advent, resin composites have undergone significant development, which continues to improve the longevity and application of resin composite restorations. Despite the development of new dentin-bonding agents, no system is currently available that completely withstands the formation of contraction gaps at the cementum/dentin-restoration junction, due to the unavoidable polymerization shrinkage of the resin composite during setting, therefore, a major aim of this study was to minimize or control the polymerization shrinkage of composites allowing flow of resin during setting reaction. A thermal dilatometer (DIL 402C, TASC 414/3A Controller, Netzche, Germany) was used to measure and compare conventional continuous cure and pulse cure polymerization shrinkage of seven light curing dental composites and three compomers. For conventional cure, restorative material were polymerized for 2 minutes using VIP (Bisco, U.S.A.) with 400 ㎽/㎠ intensity. After then, further polymerization was allowed for next 12 minutes that total 14 minutes of shrinkage was measured. For pulse cure, material was pre-polymerized irradiating light for 5 seconds with 200 ㎽/㎠ and post-ploymerized 3 minutes later with 400 ㎽/㎠ for 2 minutes. 9 minutes were allowed for further polymerization that total 14 minutes of shrinkage was measured. Polymerization shrinkage ranged from 3.758 ㎛/㎜ (SYC) to 6.897 ㎛/㎜ (P60) for conventional cure and 4.026 ㎛/㎜ (FLT) to 6.996 ㎛/㎜ (SRF) for pulse cure. The highest difference between the two methods was found at EAN (2.713 ㎛/㎜), followed by F20 and CRA which showed significant differences of 2.133, 1.274 ㎛/㎜ respectively (p<0.05). The least difference was found at SYC (0.489 ㎛/㎜). Universal resin composite group showed the highest polymerization shrinkage (6.514±0873 ㎛/㎜), and flowable composite showed the least shrinkage (4.139 ㎛/㎜). Packable composite showed 5.090±1.906 ㎛/㎜, and compomers showed 6.129±2.652 ㎛/㎜.
