The authors examined human immunity indicators such as CD4, CD8, Natural Killer(NK) cell, IgG, IgA, and IgM, and heavy metals such as Pb, Cr, Cd to evaluate the health hazard of welders. We selected total 126 male subjects, 60 welders who had more than 5 year working history as an exposure group, and 66 office workers and medical college students as a control group. This immunity evaluation approach is the first newly designed study that has never been tried in past studies on welder's heath evaluation. And the results were as follows. 1. Total lymphocyte count of peripheral blood was significantly higher in welder group, 2,615±650 ea/㎕ compared with 2,368±681 ea/㎕ in control group(p>0.05). 2. The proportion of CD4, CD8, NK cell in welder group was 37.5±9.4%, 24.0±8.8%, and 21.0±9.5%, respectively, and 35.5±6.5%, 25.0±6.9%, and 19.6±8.8% in control group. CD4 and NK cell were slightly higher, and CD8 was slightly lower in welder group. but there was no statistical significance between two groups(p≥0.05). 3. IgG, IgA, and IgM in welder group were 15.9㎎/㎗, 2.7㎎/㎗ and 1.5㎎/㎗, respectively, and 15.6㎎/㎗, 2.9㎎/㎗ and 1.7㎎/㎗ in control group. There was no statistical significance between two groups(p≥0.05). 4. Blood lead, cadmium and chromium concentrations were 4.2±1.8㎍/㎗, 0.4±0.38㎍/㎗, 1.2±0.6㎍/㎗ in welder group and 3.2±1.7㎍/㎗, 0.44±0.29㎍/㎗, 1.1±0.6㎍/㎗ in control group, respectively, and these value were within normal ranges.

목적: Retinoic acid는 폐포 재생에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있어서 미숙아의 기관지폐이형성중의 예방에 사용되고 있다. 기관지폐이형성중의 병태생리는 미숙한 폐의 내피세포와 외피세포의 세포자멸사를 일으킴과 관련이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서 VEGFR2 억제가 신생 폐에서 세포자멸사를 증가시키는지, 또 retinoic acid의 투여가 본 폐 발달 억제 동물모형에서 세포자멸사를 억제하는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: VEGFR2 억제제인 SU1498을 생후3일된 마우스에 주사하고, 폐포발달이 이루어지는 그 후 10일간 retinoic acid나 위약을 주사하였다. 형태학적인 분석을 하였고, 세표자멸사를 비교분석하기 위해서 TUNEL 염색과 Annexin V을 표지자로 FACS출 시행하였다. 자멸사한 세포를 확인하기 위해서 동일초점 현미경으로 분석하였다. 결과: SU1498를 주사한 마우스에서 폐포면적과 평균폐포용적이 의미 있게 감소하였다. 세포자멸사도 약 3배 의미 있게 증가하였다. 자멸사한 세포는 내피세포와 상피세포에 분포하였다. Retinoic acid를 주사한 약 50%의 세포자멸사가 감소하였고, 형태학적으로 정상에 가까운 폐포 발달이 유지되었다. 결론: VEGFR2 억제를 하면 내피세포와 상피세포의 세포자멸사가 증가되면서 폐 발달이 저해되었다. 이어서 retinoic acid를 주사하면 세포자멸사가 억제되어 폐 발달유지에 도움이 되었다. 이러한 retinoic acid에 의한 세포자멸사의 억제가 기관지폐이형성증 예방에 기여할 것으로 추정된다. Background: Retinoic acid is known to play a role in alveolar regeneration and is used in the prevention of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature infants. Many factors involved in the pathogenesis of BPD induce apoptosis of the endothelium and epithelium of the premature lung. We hypothesized that VEGFR2 inhibition would increase apoptosis in the newborn lung and retinoic acid would decrease apoptosis in our model of inhibited lung growth. Material and Methods: SU1498, a VEGFR2 inhibitor or vehicle was given to three-day-old mice. Subsequent retinoic acid or vehicle injection was given for ten days for the duration of alveolarization. Morphometric analyses were performed. Apoptosis was assessed with TUNEL staining and Annexin V staining. Co-localization of apoptotic cells with endothelial and epithelial cells was performed. Results: SUI498 injection reduced alveolar surface area and mean alveolar volume in newborn mice. Apoptosis was increased by three-fold in SU1498 injected mice. Apoptotic cells co-localized to endothelial and epithelial cells. Retinoic acid significantly reduced the degree of apoptosis by 50% in SU1498 injected mice and maintained lung development. Conclusion: VEGFR2 inhibition caused an arrest in lung development accompanied by an increase in apoptosis of endothelial and epithelial cells of the neonatal lung in mice. Subsequent retinoic acid treatment reduced apoptosis and we speculate that retinoic acid may preserve lung growth in bronchopulmonary dysplasia by inhibiting apoptosis in the neonatal lung.

Background: Solar urticaria (SU) is an uncommon type of photodermatoses characterized by erythematous wheal with pruritus after sunlight exposure, which shows a female predominance. Only a few studies to analyze the clinical features of SU were reported in Asia. Objectives: We aimed to analyze the clinical and photobiological characteristics of SU in Korea. Methods: We retrospectively investigated the medical records of patients with SU who visited the department of dermatology, Konkuk university medical center from January 2005 to January 2020. Results: Of a total of 44 patients, 36 (81.8%) were male and 8 (18.2%) were female. The mean age at onset was 17.6 years (range, 5-47) and the mean threshold time was 19.7 minutes. Among 32 patients who underwent phototesting, the action spectrum most commonly implicated was ultraviolet (UV) A only in 12 (37.5%), and then visible light (415nm) only was responsible for SU in 8 (25.0%). Three patients (9.4%) were induced by both UVA and visible light (415nm). Even 4 patients (12.5%) were triggered by only natural sunlight. Serum immunoglobulin E levels were measured in 33 patients, and 17 (51.5%) showed values higher than normal. The treatment most widely used were oral antihistamine (43.2%), followed by phototherapy (13.6%). Conclusion: SU is a rare photodermatosis in Korea, which shows a male preponderance. In this study, UVA and visible light (415nm) were predominant action spectrum of SU.

본 연구의 목적은 노년기 주관적 연령(스스로를 노인 혹은 비(非)노인으로 인지하는지 여부)과 건강노화와의 관계를 연령집단에 따라 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위해 2014년 노인실태조사 대상자 중 연소노인(65~74세)과 고령노인(75~84세)을 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 연구의 주목적인 주관적 연령과 건강노화 간의 관련성을 검증하기 위해 연소노인 및 고령노인 집단별로 다중회귀분석(multiple regression analysis)을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 주관적 연령과 건강노화의 관계는 연령집단별로 다른 양상을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 연소노인에서 주관적 연령이 비(非)노인인 경우, 높은 수준의 인지기능과 적은 만성질환 수, 낮은 수준의 우울, 그리고 높은 수준의 사회활동 참여를 보이는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 반면, 고령노인인 경우 주관적 연령은 인지기능을 제외하고 건강노화의 다른 세 요소와 유의미한 관련이 없었다. 본 연구는 주관적 연령을 건강노화의 새로운 고려요소로 제시하여, 두 요소의 관련성을 통합적인 차원에서 살펴보았다는 의의가 있다. 또한 노인을 연령대에 따라 구별된 집단으로 살펴봄으로써, 주관적 연령과 건강노화의 연관성이 연령집단마다 상이한 양상을 보임을 밝혔다는 의의를 가진다. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between subjective age (whether one subjectively perceives himself as `the elderly` or `not the elderly`) and healthy aging. Using data from the 2014 National Elderly Survey (KIHASA), this study selected a total of 9,653 participants consisting of young-olds (aged 65-74) and old-olds (aged 75-84) For both the young-old and the old-old, multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the research model. In the young-old population, one`s considering oneself as “non-elderly” was significantly associated with higher cognitive functioning, fewer chronic diseases, lower depressive symptoms, and higher level of social engagement. On the other hand, in the old-old population, one`s considering oneself as “non-elderly” was associated only with higher cognitive functioning, and not with the other domains of healthy aging. The findings suggest that subjective age can be considered as an important predictors of older adults` healthy aging. These findings indicate that the association between subjective age and healthy aging has a different pattern depending on the age group.

Aspergillosis of the maxillary sinus was rare disease, but it was increasing tendency with overuse antibiotics, streoid hormones, and anticanncerous agents. The clinical features and X-ray findings are similar to chronic suppurative paranasal sinusitis. Aspergillosis of the maxillary siuses may occur as a chronic diseae in an otherwise healthy person. This infection is usually confined to a single paranasal sinus, the maxillary antrum, though it can involve the orbit and may initiate with findings of proptosis and decreased vision. The disease is characterized by a wide range of initial symptoms, and should be considered as a possible diagnosis in sinusitis refractory to antibiotics and antral lavage. The choice of treatment of this disease is radical surgery and adjunctive systemic antifungal therapy. We experienced a case of right maxillary sinus aspergillosis in a 34 years old male who has dull pain on Rt. zygoma area, and a case of left maxillary sinus aspergillosis in a 30 years old male who had been suffered from nasal stiffness and frontal headache for 3-4 years. We reported two cases with review of literature.

콩과 식물에는 isoflavone의 유도체로서 comestrol, biochanin-A 등이 존재하고, leaf protein 제조때 一部 移行하는 것이 알려져 있기 때문에 isoflavones를 rat에 급여 血淸콜레스테롤 농도에 대하여 영향을 검토하였다. 콜레스테롤 무첨가 식이에 coumestrol 50 ppm, 콜레스테롤 첨가 식이에 coumestrol 50 ppm 및 100 ppm, biochanin-A, 0.075, 0.150%를 혼합하여, 7주령의 Wistar계 수컷 rat에 21일간 급여하여, 혈청지질을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 어느 경우도 isoflavones첨가군 및 대조군 간에는 血淸 총콜레스테롤, HDL-콜레스테롤 LDL- 콜레스테롤, triglyceride는 差가 인정되지 않았다. Isoflavones are widely distributed in legumes. It had been reported that isoflavones exhibited hypocholesterolemic activity in rats. I have undertaken a study of these isoflavones with regard to their effect on the rat. In this study, the effects of coumestrol and biochanin-A on the serum cholesterol level in rats fed with cholesterol free and cholesterol enriched diets were examed. The commercially available isoflavones were purchased in the experiment. Coumestrol were incoporated in the diet at a level of 0.50 ppm without cholesterol free diet and 0, 50, 100 ppm with cholesterol enriched diet. biochanin-A were incoporated 0, 0.075 and 0.150 % with cholesterol enriched diets. These diets were fed for 3 weeks to male wistar strain rats with a body weight of 90∼100g. It was found no significant changes in serum lipids level in the isoflavone fed rats in both cholesterol free and cholesterol-enriched diet.

A concetrated evaporation experimnt was carried out in this study, to find out the removal and concoentration efficiency of havy metals from concentration process as well as analysis and investigation for the characteristics of the condensed water. In the experiment of wastewater treatment from X-ray film by using concentrated evaporation, the results show that COD removal efficency rate was more than about 99%, the major toxic metals, including Pb, CN, F, Zn was almost removed. It could be seen that the early boiling point of each wastewater was 108.5℃ for the wastewater of the fixing solution, 106.7℃ for the wastewater of developing solution and 107℃ for the mixture(1:1) of both wastewater. The increasing rate of boiling point was the greatest in the wastewater of the developing solution and the mixture and the wastewater of fixing solution in descending order. The boiling point under latm in a vacuum was 30℃ for the wastewater of the developing solution, 37℃ for the wastewater of fixing solutions, and 35℃ for the mixture.

It is known that frictional rubbing between different ice surfaces causes electric charge separation, and Yoshida(1944) reported the colder ice was positively electrified. The mechanism of charge electric separation in thunderclouds is considered to be related to the friction or impact between ice crystal particles. In order to explain the mechanism for the electric charge separation in thunderclouds, the experiment was conducted. The results from that experiment through rubbing asymmetrically the artifially provided ice rods are as follows: Asymmetric rubbing was charged with effect of the temperature difference by a theory of thermoelectricity, when the colder ice was positively charged and the warmer ice negatively charged. The average difference of charge between them was 0.35volt. Opaque ice rod with air bubbles was chagred regardless of the effect of a theory of thermoelectricity. As the result of it, the cold ice rod was negatively charged and the effect of the friction was maximized by air bubbles. under a polarizing microscope, contact surface ice crystal cell was melted and frozen by the friction heat, and then was decreased in size. the charged volume was greatly increased at the colder range of -21℃∼-16℃ and was irregularly developed at warmer temperature region. the cooling apparatus made for experiment can be used in measuring the frictional charge generation.

조영관,박은경,김양기,이영목,어수택,김태형 순천향의학연구소 2004 Journal of Soonchunhyang Medical Science Vol.10 No.2

Varicella-zoster virus, an unusual pathogen of community acquired pneumonia in adult, may causes respiratory distress and death. Since the first description by Waring et al. in 1942, the disease has been recognized by roentgenography, pathologic study, and virus studies as a special syndrome of the varicella virus. Immunocompromized conditions such as leukemia, malignant lymphoma and corticosteroid therapy predispose patients to varicella pneumonia. It occurs rarely in immunocompetent patients. The clinical manifestations of varicella zoster pneumonia exhibit a wide spectrum of disease from asymptomatic to death. Acyclovir is the recommended treatment and corticosteroid can be used in severe varicella pneumonia. We report a case of varicella pneumonia developed in a immunocompetent patient.

최소 절삭깊이와 절삭조건의 관계에 관한 연구

조성산,유수영 弘益大學校 科學技術硏究所 2000 科學技術硏究論文集 Vol.11 No.-

Thermo-elasto-plastic behavior of half-space due to a sliding rounded cutting edge tool is analysed using finite element technique in order to investigate the relation between the minimum cutting depth and the cutting conditions. Variations of the horizontal force for tool sliding, and the maximum surface temperature and surface layer deformation pattern of the half-space at several indentation depths are examined for various sliding speed and tool/half-space friction coefficient. It is found that there exist a critical indentation depth at which the tool horizontal force and the maximum surface temperature increase rapidly and continuously without any bound and thus sliding instability occurs. The critical indentation depth is affirmatively believed to be the minimum cutting depth since the rapid increase is associated with the material pile-up occurring in front of the moving tool. In addition, the minimum cutting depth decreases with the increase in the cutting speed and tool/work friction coefficient.
