Competitive ELISA methods were used to measure the level of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) from urine in 1008 Korean adults. Subjects were selected by random sampling in all areas of Korea, except Cheju-do. The recovery rate of AFM1 using this method was 105% (73-124%). The geometric mean of urinary AFM1 in all subjects was 3.43 pg/mL (3.67 ng/g creatinine). The level of AFM1 in males was statistically higher, compared with female subjects. However, the levels of AFM1 did not differ according to age. Subjects in Chungbuk-do showed the highest urinary AFM1 concentration, whereas subjects in Kyeongnam-do showed the lowest concentration. Assuming an excretion rate of 5%, this AFM1 excretion corresponds to approximately 0.1 microgram/day in Korean adults.

As medical technology progresses rapidly, there is a rise in the average age along with the Korean dietary lifestyle becoming more westernized, which leads to an increase in the number of vascular disease patients in Korea. Thus, we need to manage the medical information of a disease systematically in order to diagnose and treat constructively. However, since there has been no standardized method of man agement to date, a great deal of information could not be properly utilized nor studied. Therefore, the departments of Cardiology, Radiology and Neurology of Samsung Seoul Hospital recently got together to develop an information management system called the Vascular Data System. This program was developed to be run on win98 O/S, upper Pentium Ⅲ, and upper 128 MB Memory, and its source code is Dephi 4.0. It was configured for the user to set the configurations as well as do a variety of search and analysis. If this program were to be updated continuously, it may be used extensively as well as in various parts of clinical research activities.

Comparison of Characteristics of Soybean Varieties Grown in a Green House and open Field for Leaf Use

Kim, Yong_Duk,Yang, Young_Taek,Kim, Kyung_Ho,Kim, Sung_Taek,Kang, Hyoung_Shick 한국작물학회 2008 한국작물학회 학술발표대회 논문집 Vol.2008 No.10

Jeju islanders consume soybean leaves as a wrapping for slices of raw fish and pork, eating mainly the young, raw, but fully extended leaf. These leaves are known to contain several kinds of functioning compounds, such as amino acids, isoflavones, flavonoids and pterocarpans. Farmers grow soybean leaves, but different soybean varieties and their characteristics for soybean leaf production have not been studied. Therefore, this study compared agronomic characteristics and iso flavones among varieties grown in a green house and in an open field. The results were as follows: There were differences in agronomic characteristics among the varieties and between places grown; generally, indoor growing produced bigger and more abundant leaves of higher quality. There were also differences in isoflavone contents in soybean leaves. Soybean leaves harvested earlier contained higher amounts in total concentration. Plants grown outside showed slightly higher but, different concentrations of the compunds studied. These results indicate that it is possible to control the isoflavone levels with varieties used, and harvest time and place.

To determine the possibility for the reuse of drained nutrient solution, cherry tomato Lycoperisicon esculentum Mill, cv. Pepe, was grown hydroponically in scoria (Exp. 1) and soil(Exp. 2), In Exp. 1 T1(control) was for FNS(fresh nutrient solution); T2 to T4 were for mixed FNS/DNS (drained nutrient solution); T5 was for DNS (drained nutrient solution). The EC level of DNS was gradually increased over time and exceeded those of FNS from shortly after the first harvest it. Neither DNS nor FNS/DNS affected days required to first harvest, bloom required to half ripe, total soluble solids or acid content. Internode length, however, was affected. This trend was also the same as yield capacity; number and weight of marketable fruit.. A comparison of macro elements in the solution before and after supply at 103 days after transplanting revealed that all element concentrations in the solution increased except P and thus the EC level increased but the pH level decreased. In Exp. 2 all tomato plants were grown in trough system filled with soil 10ℓ · plant. T1 and T2 were for FNS and DNS respectively, and in T3(adjusted nutrient solution : ANS) 1mM of potassium dihydrogen phosphate was added to the DNS. T4 was for conventional cropping. DNS required to harvest took 112days in FNS, which was 2-3 days earlier than others but total soluble solids and acid content showed no differences between treatments. In the DNS, number and weight of marketable fruit were lower than others. The results of soil analysis showed that K, P, Ca and Na content in the soil before cultured were higher than those in the soil after cultured.

文集所載傳의 一考察

This paper aims at examining the literary form of a biography by analyzing Hur Kyun's biography and Park Chi-won's biography. These works have been studied in the light of fiction. But these works are not fictions. but biographies. These works have a characteristics of a private biography. A private biography was written about a man who though he had not been famous had become an example and a pattern to others by his good conduct. Aprivate biogrphy was written to polish style and to cultivate a taste for literary compositi-on by some writers and scholars. Hur Kyun's biography follows a traditional form of biography. It does not have any fictional conflict in its content. Park Chiwon's biogrphy also follows the traditional form of biogrphy. Particularly Park Chi-won had a sense of compose a biography in his mind. And readers read his work in understanding it as not a fiction but a biography. As showed above, biography and fiction have been studied in confusion. Therefore it is very important to distinguish the literary genre of a biography from a fiction. This relationship should be studied out of consideration for the content and form of a work, and the author's and reader's attitude, It is suggested that many other biographies should be examined together. However this paper does not examine other biographies except Hur Kyun's biography and Park Chi-won's biography. Analysis of other biographies shall be carried on in the next study.

미만성 대형 B-세포 림프종에서의 예후인자에 관한 연구

김삼용,곽승근,박상은,윤환중,조덕연,김진만 충남대학교 의학연구소 2003 충남의대잡지 Vol.30 No.2

미만성 대형 B-세포 림프종은 가장 흔한 악성 림프종의 한 종류로서 우리나라에서는 전체 비호지킨 림프종의 50%를 차지한다. 비호지킨 림프종에서 병기는 호지킨병과는 달리 예후 인자로서의 유용성이 적다. 따라서 병기만을 예후 인자로서 평가하는 한계를 극복하기 위해 국제예후지표(International Prognostic Index)가 도입되었다. 특정 환자에서 IPI 점수와 함께 그 환자의 림프종의 생물학적 특성을 분석한다면 예후 예측에서 정확도가 높아질 것이다. 본 연구에서는 미만성 대형 B-세포 림프종에서 국제예후지표의 유용성을 확인하고자 하였으며, 각종 생물학적 지표의 면역화학염색을 통하여 이들을 배세포 중심 아형(germinal center subgroup : 이하 GC양 아형으로 약함)과 활성화 B-세포 아형(post-germinal center subgroup; 이후 pGC양 아형으로 약함)으로 분류하고 이들의 예후 예측에 대한 적절성을 평가하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 연령분포는 37세에서 69세로 중앙치는 56세이었으며, 남자는 17예(65.4%), 여자가 9예(34.6%)였다. 병기는 Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ기가 각각 2예(7.7%), 11예 (42.3%), 5예(19.2%), 8예(30.8%)였다. 'B'증상은 5예(19.2%)에서 양성이었다. 진단 당시 혈청 LDH치가 상승한 경우가 11예(42.3%)였고, 거대종양(직경이 10㎝이상)을 갖는 경우가 5예(19.2%)이었다. ECOG 수행등급은 0이 2예(7.7%), 1이 18예(69.2%), 2가 5예(19.2%), 3이 1예(3.8%)이었다. 2. 면역조직화학염색 상 bcl-2의 양성은 17예(65.4%), bcl-6의 양성이 20예(76.9%)이었다. CD10이 양성인 경우가 5예(19.2%)이었다. IRF-4가 양성인 경우는 8예(30.8%)였다. 26명의 환자에서 bcl-6, CD10과 IRF-4를 이용하여 GC양 아형과 pGC양 아형으로 분류 하였는데, GC양 아형은 14예(53.8%)이었고, pGC양 아형은 7예(26.9%), 분류가 되지 않는 경우가 5예(19.3%)이었다. 3. 평균 48개월 동안 추적한 결과 중앙생존기간은 44개월이었고 생존기간은 1~100+개월에 분포하였다. Kaplan-Meier법에 의한 5년 누적 생존률은 32%이었다. 4. 병기, 'B' 증상, 혈청 LDH 농도, ECOG 수행등급, 거대종양유무가 통계학적으로 의미있는 임상적 예후 인자였다. 5. 면연조직화학염색에서는 bcl-2만이 통계학적으로 유의한 예후인자였다. 6. GC양 아형은 pGC양 아형에 비해 생존기간은 좋았으나, 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. 7. 다변량 분석결과 bcl-2 발현과 혈청 LDH치만이 예후에 영향을 미쳤다. Clinical Significanceof Expression of Biomarkers in Patients with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBL) is the most common type of lymphoma in Korea, representing about 50% of non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas. Although DLBL is usually considered as a specific category, the diversity in clinical presentation, morphology, genetic and molecular alterations strongly suggest that these tumors represent a heterogeneous group of neoplasia rather than a single clinicopathological entity. Clinical prognostic systems, including the International Prognostic Index (IPI), although useful to assess overall prognosis, embraces patients with heterogeneous prognoses. It is likely that the prognostic assessment of patients with DLBL might be improved by using biological features. During the last decade, most studies dealing with the heterogeneity of DLBL have focused on individual protein expression and molecular alterations. The expression of individual antigens related to different stages of B-cell differentiation, including CD10, bcl-6, and IRF-4, may help to define groups of tumors with different clinical and pathological characteristics. To determine the clinical significance and prognostic value of individual biomarker expression and the biomarker expression patterns according to germinal center subgroup or post-germinal center subgroup of DLBL as defined by a relatively small number of single antigens, we studied 26 patients with de novo DLBL, whose archival pathology specimen were available for immunohistochemistry studies, atChungnam National University Hospital from September 1992 to December 2000. Archival specimens from each patient were immunostained with respective antibodies for CD10, bcl-6, IRF-4, bcl-2 antigens. Two immunophenotyping profiles were distinguished according to the pattern of differentiation; germinal center(GC;CD10/Bcl-6+/IRF-4-) subgroup or postgerminal center (pGC ; CD10/bcl-6/IRF4+) subgroup. The results are as follows; 1) Baseline characteristics of patients were ; median age of patients was 56(range ; 37-69). 17 patients(65.4%) were male. 5 patients(l9.2%) had 'B' symptoms. Stages were as follows ; stage Ⅰ2 patients(7.7%), stage Ⅱ 11 patients(42.3%), stage Ⅲ 5 patients(l9.2%), stage Ⅳ 8 patients(30.8%). 11 patients (42.3%) had elevated LDH levels. 25 patients(96.2%) had ECOG performance grade 0-Ⅱ and 1 patient had grade Ⅲ. 5 patients(l9.2%) bad bulky disease. 2) The results of immunohistochemical study were as follows ; positive bcl-2 staining in 17 patients(65.4%), positive bcl-6 in 20 patients(76.1%), positive CD10 in 5 patients(l9.2%), positive IRF-4 staining in 8 patients (30.8%). 3) After a median follow up duration of 48 months, the median survival duration was 44 months with a range of survival of 1-100+ months. 5-year overall survival rate was 32% by Kaplan-Meier method. 4) The clinical factors affecting survival were elevated serum LDH level, B symptoms, bulky disease, stage at diagnosis and ECOG performance status 5) Among the biomarkers, only bcl-2 expression affected survival of DLBL patients 6) The germinal center like subgroup had superior survival than post-germinal center like subgroup but had no statistical significance. 7) Multivariate analysis showed that bcl-2 and serum LDH level had siginificance on survival Conclusion In addition to the known clinical prognostic factors, immunohistochemically defined characteristics such as bcl-2 expressionin DLBL is important and subgroups(germinal center or post-germinal center subgroup) of DLBL may have importance in predicting prognosis of DLBL patients
