<P><B>Aims</B></P><P>DJ-1/park7, a multifunctional protein, may play essential roles in the vascular system. However, the function of DJ-1/park7 in vascular contractility has remained unclear. The present study was designed to investigate whether the DJ-1/park7 is involved in the regulation of vascular contractility and systolic blood pressure (SBP).</P><P><B>Methods and results</B></P><P>Norepinephrine (NE) elevated contraction in endothelium-intact vessels in a dose-dependent manner, to a greater extent in DJ-1/park7 knockout (DJ-1/park7<SUP>−/−</SUP>) mice than in wild-type (DJ-1/park7<SUP>+/+</SUP>) mice. Acetylcholine inhibited NE-evoked contraction in endothelium-intact vessels, and this was markedly impaired in DJ-1/park7<SUP>−/−</SUP> mice compared with DJ-1/park7<SUP>+/+</SUP>. Nitric oxide (NO) production (82.1 ± 2.8% of control) and endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) expression (61.7 ± 8.9%) were lower, but H<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>2</SUB> production (126.4 ± 8.6%) was higher, in endothelial cells from DJ-1/park7<SUP>−/−</SUP> mice than in those from DJ-1/park7<SUP>+/+</SUP> controls; these effects were reversed by DJ-1/park7-overexpressing endothelial cells from DJ-1/park7<SUP>−/−</SUP> mice. Histone deacetylase (HDAC)-1 recruitment and H3 histone acetylation at the eNOS promoter were elevated and diminished, respectively, in DJ-1/park7<SUP>−/−</SUP> mice compared with DJ-1/park7<SUP>+/+</SUP> controls. Moreover, SBP was significantly elevated in DJ-1/park7<SUP>−/−</SUP> mice compared with DJ-1/park7<SUP>+/+</SUP> controls, but this elevation was inhibited in mice treated with valproic acid, an inhibitor of Class I HDACs including HDAC-1.</P><P><B>Conclusion</B></P><P>These results demonstrate that DJ-1/park7 protein may be implicated in the regulation of vascular contractility and blood pressure, probably by the impairment of NO production through H<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>2</SUB>-mediated epigenetic inhibition of eNOS expression.</P>

Afferent loop syndrome is an uncommon complication of a gastrectomy and Billroth Ⅱ reconstruction. It may cause symtoms at any time from the first postoperative day to many years after the gastrectomy. Afferent loop syndrome is characterized by abdominal pain, vomiting and elevation of serum amylase. Thus, it is difficult to differentiate afferent loop syndrome from other cause of acute pancreatitis. However, the history of gastrectomy can be an important clue for diagnosing afferent loop syndrome. We experienced one case of chronic afferent loop syndrome with acute pancreatitis. After appropriate management, the abdominal pain disappeared and serum amylase level decreased. We report this case with a review of relevant literatures.

연구배경: 1978년 란셋 잡지에 보라색 소변에 대한 보고가 최초로 있은 이래, 이 현상에 대한 생화학적, 미생물학적, 임상적 규명이 있었다. 보라색 소변은 환자나 환자 가족에게 불편하거나 걱정스러운 질병이다. 그러나 대개의 경우 환자의 건강에 실제적인 위험이 되는 경우는 거의 없다. 심지어 보라색 소변은 열심히 치료할 필요가 없다고 주장하는 사람도 있다. 이에 대조군 연구를 통하여 보라색 소변의 위험요인과 임상적인 의미(심각성)에 대하여 평가를 하고자 한다. 방법: 2007년 2월부터 4월 사이에 인천은혜병원에 입원하고 있는 381명의 환자들 중 도뇨관을 삽입하고 있는 65명을 대상으로 하였다. 이 65명은 65세 이하이거나 1개월 이하동안 도뇨관을 갖고있는 환자는 제외한 숫자이다. 대상 환자는 모두 실리콘제의 폴리카테터와 일회용 소변주머니를 사용하였고 카테터의 교환주기는 특별한 경우 외에는 1개월마다 교환하였다. 대상환자 중 16명이 보라색 소변을 보여, 멸균생리식염수로 방광세척을 한 뒤 카테터와 소변 주머니를 소독된 새 것으로 무균적으로 교환한 뒤 소변배양을 실시하였다. 관련 환자와 대조군의 비교항목들을 통계처리하여 통계적인 유의성을 확인하였으며, 변수의 분석은 신뢰도 95%로(P value 0.05) 카이스퀘어 가설검정과 만-휘트니 U검사를 실시하였다. 결과: 보라색 소변을 보였던 환자들의 나이 평균은 80세였고 전원이 와상상태의 할머니였다. 대상환자의 진단명 중 가장 많은 것은 치매였다. 평균 도뇨기간은 22개월 이었다. 보라색소변을 보인환자군은 보이지 않은 환자들 보다 평균 도뇨기간이 길었으며, 변비가 더 심하였고 변비치료용 좌약 사용빈도가 높았다. 대조군에서는 조사기간 전 1개월 이내에 항생제를 사용한 빈도가 약간 더 높았으나 통계적인 의미는 확실하지 않았다. 결론: 보라색소변은 장기요양노인병원에서 흔히 발생하는 문제이다. 이전 연구들에서 없었던 보라색 소변과 항생제사용과의 관련성 및 변비치료제로 bisacodyl 좌약사용과의 관련성, 소변 카테터의 삽입기간 등에 대한 정보를 추가하여 얻을 수 있었다. Background: Since the first report of purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) by Barlow and Dickson in 1978, many researchers have tried to reveal the clinical and bacteriological background of this phenomenon. To the best of our knowledge, most of them were case or case series reports and only three were case-control studies which compared the clinical, biochemical, or bacteriological background between patients with and without PUBS. It is certain that PUBS is an uncomfortable or troubling issue for some patients and their families. However, most of the patients who presented with PUBS were, largely, asymptomatic and it is apparent that PUBS is not a disease per se, nor does it appear to represent any real danger to patient's health, and some authors go so far as to even advocate that it is unnecessary to treat PUBS-affected patients aggressively. In this case-control study, we reviewed risk factors and clinical significance of PUBS in geriatric wards. Methods: Of the 381 hospitalized patients in a hospital specialized in the long term care of the elderly handicapped (Incheon Eun-Hye Hospital, Incheon, Korea), 65 patients who featured urinary catheterization during the period from February 2007 and April 2007 were enrolled in this study. Subjects who were younger than 65 or catheterized duration was less than one month were excluded. The same types of silicone Foley balloon catheter and disposable plastic urine bag were used for all patients. Routine Foley catheter change interval was one month. For the 16 patients who exhibits PUBS, bladder irrigation with normal saline and immediate change of urine bag and catheter were performed. And urine culture was done. Variables were statistically analyzed by chi square test or Mann-Whitney's U-test. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The PUBS patients mean age was 80, and bed ridden female. Most common diagnosis was dementia. Mean duration of the catheterization was 22 months. The PUBS patients were more constipated than non-PUBS control group and used more bisacodyl suppository. Antibiotics usage within one month before this survey in PUBS group is more frequent than control group with borderline statistical significance. Conclusion: PUBS is frequently occurring problem in long-term care geriatric wards. Causative factors are tryptophan putrefaction (decreased intestinal absorption, motility), alkaline urine, oxygen (air, Foley catheterization). All factors are bacterial infection related. Our results were the same as previous results. Relationship with antibiotics usage, bisacodyl suppository and constipation, long term usage of the Foley catheter notified also. Female predomination is related with easy, frequent urinary infection, and more population in old age.

Pseudomembranous colitis, caused by altering the normal colonic flora and allowing the multiplication of Clostridium difficile, is an deleterious adverse effect of antibiotics. But it is rarely reported by rifampicin. Rifampicin is one of the first line drug in the treatment of tuberculosis and many patients are exposed to its potential adverse effects. We experienced a patient that had abdominal discomfort and hematochezia due to pseudomembranous colitis after receiving antituberculous medication, and which was probably caused by rifampicin. A 82 years old man was admitted with abdominal discomfort and hematochezia for one week. On the past history he had been diagnosed as endobronchial tuberculosis about 4 months ago. Colonoscopy revealed multiple discrete whitish mucosal lesion on rectosigmoid colon, and histologic findings were consistent with pseudomembranous colitis. The antituberculous agents were discontinued and vancomycin was administered. The patient's symptoms were resolved within several days. There was no recurrence after reinstitution of the antituberculous agents excluding rifampicin. We report here on a case of pseudomembranous colitis probably due to rifampicin.

Today human needs for health promotion and maintenance are increasing. The nursing progression has a great responsibility for helping clients to practice good health behavior. self efficacy was found to be potent predictor in initiating and maintaining the health-related behavior. Therefore, the concept is important in nursig intervention for change of health behavior. The purpose of this paper was to analyze and clarify the meaning of the concept, self efficacy. This study used Walder & Avant's process of concept analysis. Critical attributes of self efficacy were : 1) positive perception of his won capability; 2) intrapersonal strength; 3) possibility of being learned; 4) individuality; 5) specificity; 6) generalizability. Antecedents of self efficacy consist of those facts that 1) new situation occurs; 2) individuals have needs to change the new situation; 3) there are some required actions in new situation. Consequences occurring as a result of self efficacy consist of those facts that 1) individual initiates the of failure; 5) cope with the situation; 6) controls the situation; 7) the level of self efficacy is enhanced; 8) the level of self-esteem is enhanced.

생태계 변화의 모니터링은 효율적 생태계 관리를 위한 기초 정보 수집을 위해 중요한 과정이다. 많은 생태 현상과 그 과정은 오랜 시간에 걸쳐 진행되므로 국립공원의 지속적인 보전 및 효율적 관리를 위해 생태계 모니터링은 장기적으로 이루어질 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 국내외 장기 모니터링 프로그램 사례 분석을 통해 성공적인 장기 모니터링을 위한 방법으로써, 최적화된 모니터링 설계, 표준화된 운용방안 마련, 인적 자원 및 DATA 관리 체계 수립, 안정적인 재정 마련 및 후속지원 등을 제시하였다. 이를 바탕으로, 현재 10년 넘게 수행되고 있는 ‘HS호 유류유출 사고 해역 장기 모니터링 프로그램’의 발전 방향으로 적응형 모니터링 방식이 적용된 표준화된 프로토콜의 정립, QA/QC와 지속적인 자료 관리, 조사 항목의 연계성 강화 등의 구체적 방안을 제안한다. Monitoring ecosystem changes is an important process for collecting basic information for ecosystem management. Since many ecological phenomena and their processes take place over a long period of time, it is necessary to conduct long-term monitoring of ecosystems for the continuous conservation and efficient management of national parks. This study suggested an optimized monitoring design, standardized operation plan, human resource and data management system, stable financial preparation and follow-up support as methods for successful long-term monitoring through case analysis of domestic and foreign long-term monitoring programs. Based on this, it proposes specific measures such as establishing a standardized protocol with adaptive monitoring methods, continuous data management with QA/QC, and strengthening the linkage of investigation items in the development direction of the “HS oil spill accident long-term monitoring program” that has been conducted for more than a decade.

Sprague-Dawley rat 16마리를 control group, 25% alcohol-dose group, 40% whisky-dose group의 각각 6마리씩으로 나누어 식이하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 혈청에서 지방의 분석을 total lipid, triacylglycerol, total cholesterol의 3가지를 측정한 결과, total lipid와 triacylglycerol은 alcohol-dose group, whisky-dose group 모두 contrlo에 비해 높은 값이 나타난 반면, total chloesterol의 양은 별 차이를 보이지 않았다. 장기의 중량을 측정함에 있어 liver에서만 유의하게(ㅔ0.05) whisky-dose group에서 높았다. TBA에 의한 hydroperoxide 측정은 liver, brain, lung, kidney, tetis brain 경우엔 whisky-dose group에서 증가하였고, lung의 경우에는 오히려 control group에서 높은 값을 보였다. Three groups of Sprague-Dawley rats(control,25% alcohol-dose, 40% whisky-dose) were used in this experiments. In plasma, the amounts of total lipid and triacylglycerol in the alcohol-dose and whisky-dose groups were increased than that of control groups. Relative weight of kidney, spleen testis was not affected by alcohol-dose and whisky-dose groups, but that of liver was significantly(p<0.05) increased in the 40% whisky dose group. The amounts of lipid peroxide in liver, kidney, testis tended to be increased in 25% alcohol dose groups, but not in lung and brain. In lung, the value of malondialdehyde(2nd product of hydroperoxide) of alcohol-dose groups was lowr than control groups, and in brain it was a little more increased in higher concentration of alcohol. The value of hydroperoxide of alcohol groups in the rat liver was significantly(p<0.01) increased compared with the control groups. There was a significant relation between alcohol consumption and lipid oxidation. Alcohol diet to the rat caused increased of lipid content and peroxidation.
