<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>

In order to evaluate the mutagenic effects of extractable indoor air pollutants (organic matters), we measured the mutagenic activities by sensitive microsuspension Ames test using new tester strains (YG 1024 and YG 1029). And additionally to evaluate the mutagenic effects on vital cell, we examined the frequencies of micronucleus appearing in lymphocytes from dye handling workers and controls. This study was conducted from Jan. to May, 1995. The extractable indoor air pollutants were collected by low volume air sampler in a general office room and 3 of dye handling factories. And the environment of general office room divided into 3 different groups according to the type of room heaters. To determine the frequencies of micronucleus appearing in lymphocytes, we sampled peripheral venous blood from 20 of dye handling workers and 20 of controls, and cultured, and then examined the lymphocytes. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The indirect mutagenic activities of extractable organic matters from suspended particulates collected in a general office room were higher than the direct one. 2. The strain YG 1024 was the most sensitive, and the increasing order of test strains that showed higher number of revertant were YG 1024, YG 1029, TA 100, TA 98. 3. In the general office room, the room using kerosene heater showed the highest mutagenecity, and the next was buthan gas heater, and non-heating room in order. 4. The mutagenic effects of suspended particulates in dye handling factories on the strain YG 1024 was 1.2 times higher than YG 1029. 5. The frequencies of micronucleus appearing in lymphocyte of the circulating blood of dye handling workers and the control were 5.65±2.97‰ and 4.65±0.97‰, respectively. And the difference was statistically significant.

Radiofrequency ablation(RFA), as a form of minimally invasive therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma, has become an important treatment modality. Because of limitation of surgery, RFA has become standard therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma in some situations. But there are some complications of RFA such as bleeding, infection, hematoma, adjacent organ thermal damage including intestinal perforation, needle track seeding, and so on. There are few reports in the literature that systematically evaluate the incidence of needle tract seeding and its associated risk factors. And only 2 cases of needle tract seeding of hepatocellular carcinoma after RFA were reported in Korea. We report a case of needle tract seeding of hepatocellular carcinoma after RFA.

Vertical pattern of interconnects to bypass high strain near a hard die on a flexible substrate under mechanical bending

Jong-Sung Lee,Young-Joo Lee,Jaegeun Seol,Young-Chang Joo,Byoung-Joon Kim 대한금속·재료학회 2024 ELECTRONIC MATERIALS LETTERS Vol.20 No.2

The distinguishing feature of a fl exible electronic device is that it maintains its function even when the shape changes repeatedly. As the degree of integration of fl exible devices increases, revealing failure mechanisms and extending the lifetime ofthe fl exible devices are getting more diffi cult. One of the potential damage zones is the interface of heterogeneous materialcomponents, where strain can be localized due to the mismatch of mechanical properties. In this study, we investigate themechanically reliable interconnect design of the fl exible printed circuit board (FPCB) system in which the packaging chipis integrated. When the FPCB was bent, folding occurred at the edge of the packaging chip due to the high bending rigiditycompared with the plastic substrate and resulted in high strain concentration. By introducing interconnect architecture thatbypassed the strain concentration area around the packaging chip, mechanical damage of the interconnects was successfullyreduced. Through fi nite element simulation, the strain applied to the interconnect crossing the strain-concentrated regionwas predicted to be 2 times larger than that bypassing the strain-concentrated region, from 8.32 to 4.64%. In addition, thestrain gap of these two interconnects could be increased as the Young’s modulus mismatch between the packaging chip andthe substrate increased. This study is expected to improve the design guidelines to mechanically reliable interconnects inhighly integrated fl exible electronics.

Stress induced cardiomyopathy is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction with typical regional wall motion abnormality of basal segment hyperkinesia and apical hypokinesia after physical or psychological stress. Stress induced cardiomyopathy mimics acute myocardial infarction but coronary angiography shows normal and usually recovers rapidly. Stress induced cardiomyopathy appears to occur almost exclusively in old females. Only a few cases have been reported in younger women but not yet in korea. The pathogenesis is not well known. Currently, it is thought that catecholamine may play important role. Especially, epinephrine may be most important catecholamine in the pathogenesis of steress induced cardiomyopathy. We report a case of stress induced cardiomyopathy occurred in young female after local epinephrine injection for hemostasis during tonsillectomy. 스트레스성 심근병증은 고령의 여성에서 주로 발생하며 카테콜라민 중 특히 epinephrine이 병리기전의 주요한 원인의 하나로 생각되어지고 있다. 저자들은 28세의 젊은 여성에서 편도절제술 도중 지혈을 목적으로 epinephrine을 국소 주사한 후 발생한 스트레스성 심근병증 1예를 경험하여 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

송진영,임성희,서지영,조영중,유형준,박성우,임자혜 대한당뇨병학회 2002 Diabetes and Metabolism Journal Vol.26 No.2

연구배경:혈관평활근세포의 증식은 죽상경화증의 주된 변화로 당뇨병과 동반된 죽상경화증에서도 관찰된다. 최종당화산물(AGE)은 NO와 결합함으로써 이의 혈관평활근세포 증식 억제 작용을 차단한다고 알려져 있으나. 혈관평활근세포에도 최종당솨산물에 대한 수용체가 발견되었음에도 불구하고 최종당화산물이 혈관평활근세포의 증식에 직접 미치는 영향 및 기전에 대하여는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 최종당화산물이 백서 대동맥에서 분리 배양한 혈관평활근세포 증식에 미치는 영향 및 그 기전을 알아 보고자 하였다. 방법:혈관평활근세포는 male Sprague­Dawley 백서의 대동맥에서 분리하여 10% FBS­DMEM 내에서 배양하였고, 세포 증식 실험은 24­well plate에 well당 1×10⁴세포를 0.1% FBS­DMEM(with or without AGE­BSA, anti­AGE antibody, MAP kinase inhibitor, antioxidants)내에서 배양하여 48시간후 MTT assay로 세포 증식을 측정하였다. 결과:AGE­BSA를 2.5, 5.0㎍/mL 농도로 첨가한 경우 혈과평활근세포 수는 AGE­BSA를 가하지 않은 대조군에 비해 1.5, 1.6배 증가되었다. 이러한 AGE­BSA에 의한 혈관평활근세포 증식 촉진 효과는 anti­AGE antibody(100㎍/mL), MAP kinase 억제제인 PD98509(50μM)및 항산화제인 N­acetylcysteine(1μM)이나 butylated hydroxyanisole(10μM)에 의해 차단되었다. 결론:이러한 결과는 AGE가 혈관평활근세포에서 산화 스트레스의 변화를 초래하고 MAP kinase 경로를 통해 혈관평활근세포의 증식 및 죽상경화증의 발생에 기여할 가능성을 뒷받침한다. Background : Diabetes mellitus is an epidemiologically proven risk factor for atherosclerosis. Advanced glycation end products (AGE) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diabetic vascular complications. AGE not only change the physicochemical properties of proteins, but also AGE on the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) have not been fully explained despite of presence of an AGE-receptor on the VSMCs. Methods : In order to test whether AGE promotes atherosclerosis by stimulation of the growth promoting signal transduction pathways in the VSMCs, the proliferation of rat aortic VSMCs cultured in the presence of AGE-BSA with/without anti-AGE antibodies, the MAP kinase inhibitor and antioxidants was measured. The VSMCs (1x10^4 cells in 24-well plates) isolated from the aorta of Sprague-Dawley rats were incubated for 48 hours and the proliferation was assessed by a MTT assay. Results : AGE-BSA increased the proliferation of rat aortic VSMCs by 1.5~1.6 fold at the ㎍/mL level. The stimulatory effect of AGE-BSA (5㎍/mL) was blocked by the anti-AGE antibodies (100 ㎍/mL). PD98059 at 50? inhibited the AGE-BSA-induced VSMC proliferative response of the VSMCs to AGE. AGE-BSA-induced VSMC proliferation was also attenuated by N-acetylcysteine (1?) and butylated hydroxyanisole (10?), implying that increased intracellular oxidative stress might be also involved in the proliferative response to AGE. Conclusion : These results suggest AGE play a role in diabetic atherosclerosis by stimulating of the growth promoting signal transduction pathways in the VSMCs (J Kor Diabetes 26:91~99, 2002).

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.
