<P>In the present study, we investigated neuronal death/damage in the gerbil hippocampal CA1 region (CA1) and compared changes in some trophic factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), in the CA1 between the adult and young gerbils after 5 min of transient cerebral ischemia. Most of pyramidal neurons (89%) were damaged 4 days after ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) in the adult; however, in the young, about 59% of pyramidal neurons were damaged 7 days after I-R. The immunoreactivity and levels of BDNF and VEGF, not GDNF, in the CA1 of the normal young were lower than those in the normal adult. Four days after I-R in the adult group, the immunoreactivity and levels of BDNF and VEGF were distinctively decreased, and the immunoreactivity and level of GDNF were increased. However, in the young group, all of their immunoreactivities and levels were much higher than those in the normal young group. From 7 days after I-R, all the immunoreactivities and levels were apparently decreased compared to those of the normal adult and young. In brief, we confirmed our recent finding: more delayed and less neuronal death occurred in the young following I-R, and we newly found that the immunoreactivities of trophic factors, such as BDNF, GDNF, and VEGF, in the stratum pyramidale of the CA1 in the young gerbil were much higher than those in the adult gerbil 4 days after transient cerebral ischemia.</P>

Epiglottitis is an uncommon but potentially life threatening infectious disease in young children. And it is rapidly progressing cellulitis of the epiglottis and adjacent structures that has the potential for causing abrupt, complete airway obstruction. The most common cause of acute epiglottitis is Haemophilius influenzae type b (Hib), therefore in USA, the acute epiglottitis is seen less commonly since the wide spread use of immunization against Hib. In Korea, there has been no report of acute epiglottitis caused by known bacterial organism, and a little investigation of the effects of the immunization against Hib, or Hib related respiratory diseases. In this report, we describe two cases of acute epiglottitis caused by Hib, occurred in non-immunized young-male children admitted to Ajou University Hospital. They had visited to the emergency center of Ajou University hospital with the complaints of acute fever, drooling, dysphagia and severe respiratory difficulties. In both cases, we observed the cherry-red colored, severely swollen epiglottis by the direct laryngoscopic examination. Hib was cultured in blood samples from both two cases, and the patients treated successfully by the 3 days of endotracheal intubation and proper antibiotics therapy without any complications such as pneumonia, meningitis, osteomyelitis, or pericarditis.

Three Kinds of mangrove oysters, highly commercial species in tropical waters, were collected in Cocineta Bay, Venezuella in 1976, at the mouth of Hoffman River, Liberia in 1978 and in West Coast of Benzina, Indonesia in 1984. Crassostrea rhizophorae from Venezuella showed some characteristics of most rounded shell form and greatest shell capacity. In addition, he fatness condition of 9.63% topped tht other two species. Crassostrea tulipa inhabiting Liberia was most elongated in outer shell form. Although shell capacity of this species was almost similar to Crassostrea rhizophorae, it took up intermediate position in fatness condition with 8.15%. Crassostrea belcheri from Indonesia, just rounded like C. rhizophorae, showed the biggest values in total weight and outer shell weight but fatness the least with 6.62%

N/A Carcinoma of the lung is generally considered as a disease of middle age and elderly. But lung cancer is now so prevalent that patients below the age of 40 years must be increaseing. We reviewed the records of 483 lung cancer patients who had been diagnosed in the department of internal medicine of Seoul National University Hospital from March 1984 to February 1986, and the clinical features of the young patients under 40 years were compared with those of the control group patients over 40 years. The results are summarized as follows; 1) Seven percent of 34 cases of 483 patients were belong to the young age group patients (less than 40 years). The youngest patient was 22 years old. 2) Male to female ratios of young group and the control group were 3.25:1, 5.9:1 respectively (p>0.05). 3) The mean duration of symptoms from the onset to the definite diagnosis was 2.7 months in young group and 2.3 months in the control group (p>0.3). 4) The most common initial symptoms in the young group were dyspnea (26.5%), hemoptysis (20.5%), cough or sputum (20.5/), chest pain (8.8%) which were also the most common initial symptoms in the control group. (p>0.25) The incidence of superior vena cava syndrome was significantly higher in the young age group (23.5%) than in the control group (7.1%) (p<0.05). 5) In the young group, the proportion of adenocarcinoma (35%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (18%) (p<0.05). 6) The proportion of smoker was significantly lower in the young age group (13 cases, 38.2%) than in the control group (77.7%). The histological type of 13 smokers of the young group was squamous cell carcinoma in 12 cases and adenocarcinoma in 1 case. 7) All non-small cell lung cancer patients in young group were belong to stage III. 8) Distant metastasis rate of the young group (74%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (54.8%) (p<0.05).

The Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV) is a member of the Pestivirus genus of the Flaviviridae. The genome of CSFV is a positive single-stranded RNA molecule 12.3 kb and contains a single large open reading frame (ORF). The polyprotein composed of eight nonstructural and four structural proteins (nucleocapsid protein C and three envelope glycoprotein E0, E1 and E2). E2, the most immunogenic of the CSFV glycoproteins, induces a protective immune response in swine. To determine the characteristics of the CSFV, LOM strain, we investigated the nucleotide sequence of the glycoprotein E0, E1 and E2. Comparison of the LOM with the other strains revealed nucleotide sequence identity ranging from 97 to 98%. Expression of the glycoprotein E2 was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis using anti-CSFV E2 monoclonal antibodies in Sf21 cells. The expression levels of glycoprotein E2 were observed from day 3 and 5 days maximum. In addition, its expression efficiency by media and cell line was investigated. The result showed that High-Five cells and Grace’s insect media for Sf21 were the best conditions for the expression of the glycoprotein E2.

Abstract Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a rare tumor that associated with asbestos exposure. For the reliable diagnosis, the adequate representative tissue samples are essential for the histology and immunohistochemical staining. We report a case of desmoplastic malignant mesothelioma (DMM), accounting for only 5-10% of all MM and having poor prognosis. A 76-year-old male visited emergency room presenting with chest pain. Chest computed tomography showed focal lobulated pleural enhancing mass in posterior aspect of left upper lobe. After video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and several immunohistochemical stains, we could diagnose as DMM. The patient refused chemotherapy, but received analgesics and palliative radiation for the painful back area. Subsequently, he was dead after 17 months from appearance of the initial symptom.

환경에서 분리된 CK214 균주는 1.5% (w/v) agar가 포함되어 있는 LB 평판배지에서 빠르게 이동하는 특징을 가지며, agar 고체평판배지 위의 CK214 균주의 집락 주위로 움푹한 투명환이 관찰되었다. 이 균주는 단일 탄소원으로 agar만이 첨가된 최소 배지에서 잘 자랐으며, DNS 법을 이용하여 CK214 균주의 외부추출성분이 agar 분해활성을 가진다는 것을 확인하였다. CK214 균주는 다양한 농도의 agar (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 2.0% w/v)가 포함된 고체평판배지에서 swarming 운동을 하였다. CK214 균주를 동정하기 위해 그람염색과 현미경 관찰, 생화학적 분석(API), 16S rRNA 염기서열분석에 기초한 계통발생학적 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 CK214 균주는 그람 양성의 간균으로, Paenibacillus 속에 포함되었으며 Paenibacillus lactis MB 2035와 가장 가까운 연관성을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 CK214 균주는 agar 고체표면에서 주모성의 편모를 형성하는 것을 투과 전자 현미경(TEM)을 통해 관찰하였다. CK214 균주의 agarase 활성과 운동성의 연관성에 관한 앞으로의 연구를 위해 transposon random mutagenesis에 의한 agar 분해활성 결손 돌연변이주를 구축하였다. A bacterial strain, CK214, exhibiting high motility on an LB agar (1.5%, w/v) surface was isolated from the environment. The formation of unusual agar shrinking around colonies on agar plates was observed. The strain grew on minimal media containing pure agar as a sole carbon source. The cell-free culture supernatant of CK214 generated a reduced form of sugar in the in vitro reaction with the use of pure agar as a substrate, suggesting the secretion of an agar-degrading enzyme. The CK214 strain showed swarming motility on the solid media containing a wide range of concentrations of agar (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0% w/v). Various tests, including Gram staining, API analysis, and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences identified that the CK214 strain was a G(+) rod-shaped bacterium grouped in genus Paenibacillus. Electron microscopic analysis demonstrated that the P. CK214 strain is peritrichously flagellated. Through transposon random mutagenesis, several agar-degrading activity defective mutants (ADMs) were generated. These mutants will be used in the future experimentation for the study of the correlation between agar-degrading activity and motility.
