Two stable high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods were developed that could quantitatively analyze 10 major marker compounds of Artemisia capillaris Thunb and could also distinguish among `Injinho` and `Myeon-injin` and `Haninjin`--A. capillaris collected in autumn, A. capillaris collected in spring and A. iwayomogi, which can be misused as `Injinho` in Korean herbal drug markets. The first HPLC method was a reversed-phase chromatography using a C18 column with an isocratic solvent system of phosphoric acid (0.05%) and acetonitrile at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, ultraviolet (UV) detection wavelength at 254 nm and column temperature at 40°C. Calibration andquantitation were made by using acetaminophen as an internal standard (I.S-A) and chlorogenic acid (1) was determined within 20 min. The second HPLC method was a reversed-phase chromatography using a C18 column with a gradient solvent system of phosphate buffer (0.015 M, pH 6) and acetonitrile at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, UV detection wavelength at 254 nm and column temperature at 40°C. Calibration and quantitation were made by using ethylparaben as an internal standard (I.S-B) and 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (2), 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3), 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4), hyperoside (5), isoquercitrin (6), isorhamnetin 3-O-robinobioside (7), isorhamnetin-3-O-galactoside (8), isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside (9) and scoparone (10) were determined within 60 min. Pattern recognitionanalysis of data from the 60 samples classified them clearly into three groups. These assay methods could be applied for QA/QC of A. capillaris and Artemisia iwayomogi.

목적: 초기 자궁내막암의 수술적치료 시 복강경유도하 질식 자궁절제술 및 골반림프절절제술군과 복식수술군의 수술결과 및 재발율에 대해 비교하고자하였다. 연구 방법: 2003년 3월부터 2005년 5월까지 초기 자궁내막암 환자를 인구학적 특성이 같은 63명을 선택하여 복강경유도하 질식 자궁절제술 및 골반림프절절제술군 26명, 복식수술군 37명으로 나누어 수술 전후 혈색소 차이, 평균수술시간, 취득한 골반림프절갯수, 평균재원일수, 추가치료율, 재발률을 비교하였다. 결과: 복강경유도하 질식 자궁절제술 및 골반림프절절제술을 시행한 군과 복식수술을 시행한 군과의 비교에서 수술 전후 혈색소 차이, 평균수술시간, 취득한 골반림프절 갯수, 평균재원일수, 재발률에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: 초기 자궁내막암의 수술 시 복강경유도하 질식자궁절제술 및 골반림프절절제술 방법이 복식방법에 비해 수술결과 및 재발률에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없으며 그 대체 수술법으로 많은 활용이 기대되었다. Objective: To compare laparoscopic surgery with conventional abdominal surgery in patients with early stage endometrial cancer. Methods: A retrospective review of 63 patients with early stage endometrial cancer managed between March 2003 and May 2005. Two groups were defined whether they had been treated by laparoscopy (case group: n=26) or by laparotomy (control group: n=37). We compared age, body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin change, operation time, number of pelvic lymph nodes, hospital stay, case with adjuvant treatment and recurrence between two groups. Results: There was no statistical difference in characteristics (age, BMI, nulliparity, previous abdominal surgery, FIGO stage, histologic grade). between case and control group. In addition, there was no statistical difference in operation data and outcomes between two groups. Hemoglobin changes were 1.1 g/dL (case group) vs 1.7 g/dL (control group) (p=0.072). Operation time was 131 min vs. 115 min. The numbers of lymph nodes obtained were 8.7 vs 7.7 (right) 9.2 vs. 7.6 (left). Hospital stays were 8.4 vs. 9.2 days. Adjuvant treatment cases were 7 vs. 15. Recurrent case was one in each group. Two patients initially evaluated by laparoscopy were converted to laparotomy due to bleeding and adhesion. Conclusion: Laparoscopic surgery for treatment of early endometrial cancer is a safe and effective alternative to laparotomy . However, long-term survival and risk of recurrence have yet to be determined.

Purification and Characterization of Helicobacter pylori ${\gamma}$-Glutamyltranspeptidase

Song, Jae-Young,Choi, Yeo-Jeong,Kim, Jeong-Min,Kim, Yoo-Ree,Jo, Jin-Seong,Park, Jin-Sik,Park, Hee-Jin,Song, Yun-Gyu,Lee, Kon-Ho,Kang, Hyung-Lyun,Baik, Seung-Chul,Youn, Hee-Shang,Cho, Myung-Je,Rhee, Kw The Korean Society for Microbiology 2011 Journal of Bacteriology and Virology Vol.41 No.4

Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the cell extract of H. pylori. The purified enzyme consisted of heavy and light subunits with molecular weights of 38 kDa and 21 kDa, respectively. N-terminal amino acid sequence of heavy and light subunits revealed that H. pylori GGT was processed into 3 parts for a signal peptide of 27 amino acid residues, a heavy subunit of 352 residues, and a light subunit of 188 residues during translation. The reaction rate for hydrolysis of ${\gamma}$-GpNA was 84.4 ${\mu}mol/min$ per milligram of protein, and that for the ${\gamma}$-glutamyl transfer from ${\gamma}$-GpNA to gly-gly was 23.8 ${\mu}mol/min$ per milligram of protein. The apparent Km values of H. pylori GGT for ${\gamma}$-glutamyl compounds were on the order of $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-4}$ M and those for acceptor peptides and amino acids were on the order of $10^{-1}$ to $10^{-2}$ M. The GGT protein kept approximately 80% of the initial enzymatic activity on incubation at $60^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. The optimum temperature and pH for reactions of both hydrolysis and transpeptidation were $40^{\circ}C$ and 9.0, respectively. The transpeptidation and hydrolysis reactions catalyzed by H. pylori GGT were strongly inhibited by L-Gln and moderately inhibited by L-Ala, L-Ser, ${\beta}$-chloro-L-Ala, and L-Glu. These results demonstrated that the biochemical properties of H. pylori GGT are different from those of other bacterial GGTs. Further, H. pylori GGT might degrade glutathione in the gastric mucous layer of humans if the enzyme could be secreted in the bacterial niches.

백서의 심실세동성 심정지 모델에서 해마신경세포 손상에 대한 단백질 합성저해제의 효과

Background: The goal of successful resuscitation is not only to stop the process of ischemia as soon as possible but also to overcome the secondary injury process after resuscitation, which involves a complex interplay of mechanisms. Brain damage accompanying cardiac arrest and resuscitation is frequent and devastating. Cells die by one of two mechanisms: necrosis or delayed neuronal death. Delayed neuronal death may require protein synthesis. Neurons in the CA1 subfield of the hippocampus are selectively vulnerable to death after injury by ischemia and reperfusion. Death of these neurons occurs after an interval of 1 or 2 days. We assessed the effects of a protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide(CHX), on hippocampal neuronal death of rats by using the ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest(VFCA) model. Methods: The effect of CHX(3 mg/kg, s.c.) on hippocampal neuronal death was studied in two groups of 18 rats each, one group being subjected to a 2-min VFCA and the other to a 3-min VFCA. Each group was divided into three subgroups: control(groupⅠ,Ⅱ) without subcutaneous injection of CHX, "esp-12" of group Ⅰ/Ⅱ treated with CHX 12 hours after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and "exe-24" of group Ⅰ/Ⅱ treated with CHX 24 hours after ROSC. The coronal sections of the hippocampus levels were stained with hematoxylin-eosin after 72 hours of survival. The histologic damage score(HDS) was used to assign a score to the total number of damaged neurons counted in each of the hippocampal CA1 subfields. Results: 1. There were not significant differences in heart rates, blood pressures, blood sugar, and blood gas in group I & Ⅱ during the pre-arrest steady state or at 5 min and 30 min after ROSC. 2. In group I & Ⅱ, the HDS, were significantly reduced in rats(I exp-12, 1.1 ±0.6;Ⅰexp-24, 1.3 ±0.5;Ⅱ exp-12, 1.4±0.7; and Ⅱ exp-24, 1.8±0.8) treated with CHX 12 hours or 24 hours after ROSC than control rats(1,2.5 ±0.9;Ⅱ,2.9±0.8)(p<0.05). Conclusion: These results suggest that delayed hippocampal neuronal death from ischemic insult after ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest followed by resuscitation can be prevented by a protein synthesis inhibitor, CHX. Further experimental studies of the action mechanism of protein synthesis inhibitors to delayed neuronal death and clinical applications are required.

최성일,김중술,신민섭,조맹제 大韓神經精神醫學會 2001 신경정신의학 Vol.40 No.3

연구목적 : 우울 및 신체화와 분노 표현 방식 간에 유의한 연관성이 있음이 이전 연구들에 의해 보고된 바 있으며, 분노 억압 이외에 분노 표현이 신체병리의 발생과 관련이 있다는 상반된 연구결과도 제시되어 왔다. 그러나 정신과 환자들은 대상으로 두 요인을 모두 고려하여 이뤄진 연구는 거의 없는 실정이므로, 본 연구에서는 정신과 환자들을 대상으로 상태-특성 분노 및 분노표현방식과 우울 및 신체화 간의 관련성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 정신과 환자 53명과 정상인 59명을 대상으로 정신진단 검사(SCL-90-R)의 우울과 신체화 증상을 측정하는 문항 25문항과 한국판 상태-특성 분노 표현 척도를 실시하여 두집단의 차이를 비교하였다. 분노와 우울 및 신체와 간의 관계를 알아보기 위해 각 집단별로 상관 및 회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 결 과 : 본 연구결과는 분노 억제가 우울 및 신체화 증상의 발생에 중요한 요인으로 작용하고 있음을 보이고있으나, 신체화에 비해 우울이 더 높은 관련성을 보이는 바, 이전 연구결과들의 해석에 주의를 요함을 시사한다. 분노 억제와 우울 및 신체화 간의 관계가 심리치료에 중요한 함의를 지닐수 있다. Objectives : In previous studies, significant correlations between depression or somatization and the mode of anger expression were reported. However few studies were done in psychiatric patients, while some evidences were found that anger expression as will as anger suppression were related to development of somatization. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of the state-trait anger and the mode of anger expression to depression and somatization in psychiatiric patients. Methods : The depression and somatization questionnaire of SCL-90-R and Korean Adaptation of the State-Trait Anger expression Inventory were administered to 53 psychiatric patients and 59 normals. The relationship of anger to depression and somatization was analyzed by correlation and regression analyses. Results : In comparison with the normal control group, the psychiatric patient group showed significant differences on trait anger temperament but no significant differences on other anger variables. In regression analysis, the anger-in score was related to depression and somatization. However, the degree of explanatory power was higher in depression than in somatization. In the case of analyzing the state-trait anger, anger-in was significant predictor variable for depression in psychiatric patient group. Conclusion ; These results suggested that anger-in is the important factor in the onset of depression and somatization. Rather than the relationship of anger-in and somatization, the relationship of anger-in and depression is higher ; therefore the caution is necessary in the interpretation of previous studies. The relationship of anger-in to depression and somatization may have important implications for psychotherapy.

Desmoplastic ameloblastoma is a rare histologic variant of ameloblastoma. It shows important differences in anatomic distribution, histologic appearance, and radiographic findings compared with the general type of ameloblastoma. It is histologically characterized by an abundance of densely collagenous stroma and radiographically a mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion. We present three cases of desmoplastic ameloblastoma. All the patients complained on buccal swelling with or without pain and the sites of occurrence were the anterior and the premolar region. Plain radiographs showed mixed radiopaque-radiolucent lesion with ill-defined or diffuse sclerotic margin and no external root resorption. Additionally, CT scans revealed buccal expansion and relatively well-defined margin of the lesions. The clinical and radiographic features of the presented cases were compared with those of the desmoplastic ameloblastoma in the previous literatures.

심부 매복 정중 과잉치 수술 시 마취방법 선택

민수영,송제선,이제호,최형준,손흥규,김성오 大韓小兒齒科學會 2012 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.39 No.1

Supernumerary tooth occurs most frequently at premaxilla area. Followed by mandibular premolar area, mandibular fourth molar area, maxillary paramolar area. Mesiodens are mainly impacted in the palatal area and surgical approach is made at palatal side. The time of surgery remains controversial. In case of inverted or horizontal impacted supernumerary tooth, intraosseous tooth movement and vertical growth of premaxilla makes surgical extraction more difficult. And also the more quantity of removed bone is, the higher degree of difficulty is. Inverted mesiodens of these cases were impacted superior to apex level of adjacent permanent incisor. Although CT examination revealed exact location of impacted tooth, surgical procedure including ostectomy may take a long time more than expected. So, before surgical extraction, it’s need to be considered several factors such as necessity of CT taking, degree of difficulty, direction of surgical approach, necessity of general anesthesia etc. 정중 과잉치(mesiodens)는 대개 상악 절치부에서 발견되며, 주로 구개측에 위치하는 경향이 있다. 정중 과잉치의 자연맹 출 가능성이 관찰되면, 주기적으로 검사하여 구강내로 충분히 맹출한 후에 단순발치를 시행한다. 주기적 검사에서 자연맹출 소견이 보이지 않거나, 형태이상 혹은 맹출방향의 이상으로 구강 내로 자연맹출 할 가능성이 없으면, 수술적 제거방법을 고려 해야 할 것이다. 특히, 인접한 중절치나 측절치의 맹출을 방해하고 있는 상황이 관찰된다면, 빠른 시일 내에 과잉치 제거를 위 한 수술적 방법을 시도하는 것이 타당하다. 한편, 외과적 수술의 시기를 늦추는 것을 고려해야 하는 경우도 있다. 정중과잉치가 인접하여 발육중인 정상 치아의 맹출을 방해하지 않는 경우이다. 이때, 삼차원 CT사진을 촬영하여보면, 과잉치 주변으로 영구절치의 치배가 근접하여 성곽처럼 둘러 싸고 있는 것을 볼 수 있다. 미성숙한 치배가 둘러 싸고 있는 상황에서, 무리하게 과잉치를 제거하려고 시도할 경우 인접 치배 를 손상시킬 가능성을 배제하기 어렵다. 이 점을 고려 한다면, 가급적 인접한 치아의 치근이 보다 발육한 후에 수술을 시도하 는 것이 바람직할 것이다. 초등학교 2학년 이상의 어린이들은 외래에서 국소마취하 제거하는 수술방법에 대개 잘 적응하며 고학년이 될수록 보다 수월해진다. 수술시기를 너무 늦추거나, 과잉치가 너무 늦게 발견된 경우 구개측 심부로 깊이 이동한 것을 볼 수 있다. 때로는 과잉치의 위치가 처음부터 심부에 매복되어 있을 수 있다. 이와 같은 경우, 전신마취방법을 생각해 볼 수 있을 것이다. 본 증례는 상악 정중부의 깊은 부위에 역위 매복된 과잉치를 외래에서 국소마취하에 치료를 시도할 때 관찰되는 문제점을 고찰하였고, 전신마취방법을 결정하기 위한 기준을 제시하였다. 심부 매복된 치아의 외과적 발거시 어린이의 행동조절이 가장 큰 문제였으며, 방사선 소견상 과잉치 치관의 위치가 절치의 치근단보다 상방에 위치할 경우 전신마취로 전환 하는 것이 바람직 할 것으로 사료된다.

Body temperature is controlled by thermoregulatory center of the hypothalamus. We report a case of 24 years old man with central fever. He was subjected to a partial excision of pituitary tumor compressing optic chiasm four years ago. He has received hormonal therapy for panhypothyroidism after removal of pituitary tumor. And He received gamma knife operation for partially contrast-enhancing masses in suprasellar and both hypothalamic areas that is probably postoperatively remnant or recurrent tumor of pituitary adenoma. One year after gamma knife operation, he presented with a febrile syndrome of unknown origin including rhabdomyolysis. All usual investigations proved negative. We diagnosed him as central fever with rhabdomyolysis. He received medical ICU care with cooling bed, ice pack. And his symptom improved. Postoperative hyperthermia may result following resection of the pituitary tumor. When central fever is suspected taking note of past history, a quick recognition of course of fever can help reduce the using of unnecessary antibiotics and hospital stay.

염철민,최유식,변석종,조순행,윤제용 대한상하수도학회 2002 상하수도학회지 Vol.16 No.2

This study was conducted to investigate the haloacetic acid (HAAs) formation characteristics in raw and treated water in Korea. The raw and treated water from the five major rivers were examined to measure the HAAs concentrations and compared those with literature values. Major findings are as follows. First, average HAAs concentration of treated water (collected from three water treatment plants) in Korea appeared to be 62.5±66.7㎍/L (n=7) and this level is higher than the average trihalomethanes (THMs) concentration (13.2±12.9㎍/L, n=6933) reported recently. Second, the average formation potential of TCAA and DCAA after three days was found as 103±74㎍/L (n=14) and 76±36㎍/L (n=14), respectively. As this result was applied to US-EPA developed model equation for TCAA and DCAA formation, dissolved organic matter (DOM) in Korea has a tendency to produce more TCAA and DCAA as compared to US. This phenomenon was especially notable in DCAA. The sum of weight percentage of TCAA and DCAA which are individual component of HAAS was composed of 80% of HAAs.

연구배경: 재생불량성 빈혈 경우에는 조혈모세포 이식 후 VOD의 발생에 관한 보고가 거의 없는 실정이다. 저자 등은 cyclophosphamide와 antithymocyte globulin으로 전처치 후에 동종골수이식을 시행한 재생불량성 빈혈 환자들을 대상으로 하여 VOD의 발생과 임상 양상, 혈액응고 인자들의 변화에 관하여 분석하여 보았다. 방법: 재생불량성 빈혈로 동종골수이식을 시행 받은 13예 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 임상적 기준에 따라 VOD를 진단하였으며 임상 경과에 따라서 경중을 분류하였다. Protein C, protein S, antithrombin Ⅲ, tPA, PAI-1 등의 혈액응고 인자들을 전처치 투여전, 골수 주입당일, 이식 후 제7, 14, 21일에 측정하였다. 결과: 7예(53.8%)에서 VOD가 발생하였으며, 경증 5예, 중등도 2예였다. VOD군에서 혈소판치가 20.000/㎕ 이상을 유지하는 데까지 걸리는 시간이 더 길었다(p=0.026). 또한 VOD군에서 적혈구 및 혈소판의 수혈 요구량이 각각 유의하게 많았다(p=0.025, 0.015). 혈액응고 인자들의 변화를 보면, 제 0일에 VOD군에서 PAI-1의 혈중 농도가 유의하게 더 높았다.(p=0.034). 결론: 재생불량성 빈혈환자에서도 조혈모세포 이식 후에 VOD의 높은 발생률을 관찰하였으며, 대부분이 경증이었다. VOD 환자에서의 혈액응고 인자들의 변화는 PAL-1이 VOD의 감별 진단을 위하여 이용될 수 있음을 시사하고 있다. Background: There are few reports about the occurrence of hepatic veno-occlusive disease(VOD) after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for severe aplastic anemia (SAA). We analyzed the incidence and clinical outcomes of VOD and changes of coagulation factors in patients with SAA who were conditioned with cyclophosphamide plus ATG and underwent allogeneic BMT. Methods: Thirteen patients with SAA who underwent allogeneic BMT were included. A diagnosis of VOD was made according to clinical criteria, and severity of VOD was classified according to clinical course. Plasma levels of protein C, protein S, antithrombin Ⅲ, t-PA, and PAI-1 were determined before preparative chemotherapy, in the day of marrow infusion, and days 7, 14, and 21. Results: VOD occurred in 7/13(53.8%). Five were mild VOD and two were moderate VOD. Time to platelet ≥20,000/L was slower (p=0.026) and red cell and platelet transfusion requirements were higher (p=0.025,0.015) in patients with VOD . The mean plasma level of PAI-1 at 0 were higher in patients with VOD (p=0.034). Conclusion: We observed the high incidence of VOD after allogeneic BMT in patients with SAA. A majority of cases of VOD were mild. The changes of PAI-1 after BMT may be useful marker of hepatic VOD
