We investigated the role of vitamin C or rutin on neuropathy and lung damage of diabetic mellitus(DM) rats. Norepinephrine content was significantly decreased in sciatic nerves of DM rats compared with non-DM controls but vitamin C had no effect on decreases of norepinephrine. 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) incorporation, which is biomarker of protein oxidation, was increased in sciatic nerve of DM rats as compared with normal control. However, vitamin C had no effects on increases of DNPH incorporation . We measured the content of conjugated dienes (CD) as a biomarker of lipid oxidation in sciatic nerve. CD was increased in DM as compared with normal control, Vitamin C or rutin had no effects on increases of CD. However, Rutin plus vitamin C significantly decreased the content of CD as compared with CIM rats. In lung of DM rats, DNPH incorporation or CD was increased as compared with normal control. Vitamin C or Rutin had no effects on increases of CD However, Rutin plus vitamin C significantly decreased the content of DNPH incorporation or CD in lung tissue. Vitamin C caused marked pathological changes such as the increases of parenchyma and the thickening of alveolar septa in the lung of DM. Rutin had protective effects on the pathological changes in the lung of DM rats. In conclusion, Vitamin C had no effects on oxidative parameter, such as DNPH incorporation or CD, and on the decreases of norepinephrine content in DM rats. Vitamin C caused the marked pathological changes in the lung of DM rats but rutin had protective efforts against the pathological changes.

A driven roll measuring system has been developed to diagnose strand deformation and bulging during continuous casting and their effect on slab qualities has been discussed. In-cast roll gap profile in the casting direction could be predicted by driven roll displacement monitoring and was discussed regarding the frequency of transversal corner crack. Unsteady bulging, which is generally accompanied by steel level variation within mold and casting speed variation, has a tendency to occur for the steels with 0.09-0.12% C and to increase along downstream side. Frequency analysis which was performed on unsteady bulging showed that high frequency of 0.2-0.25 ㎐ as well as roll rotation and roll pitch frequencies occurred. These particular frequencies were discussed regarding the relation of unevenness of solidified shell. A mathematical model has been developed to simulate the unsteady bulging phenomena based on FEM analysis on the case of periodical casting speed change. Finally, the effect of unsteady bulging on slab qualities also has been discussed.

Solidification of AZ31 magnesium alloy plate in a horizontal continuous casting process

You, Bong Sun,Yim, Chang Dong,Kim, Su Hyeon Elsevier 2005 Materials science & engineering. properties, micro Vol.413 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>Magnesium plate of 120mm width and 30mm thickness was produced by horizontal continuous casting, and its microstructures were analyzed on the surface and in the plate interior. The defect formation on the surface and subsurface, such as side cracks, buckling, pores and segregation, was very sensitive to the casting condition and processing parameters. Especially, a secondary cooling was effective in refining the microstructure and controlling the grain size distribution across the plate thickness, which means that the cooling rate and curvature of the solid/liquid interface in the mold changed. According to AES analysis on the surface, the thickness of the oxide layer was not more than 0.3μm. However, the cyclic marks on the surface were obvious, because the plate were drawn by four-step cycle. In the case of several defects, they caused side cracks during rolling and survived even after rolling. Thus, it was concluded that pretreatment of the as-cast plate, such as homogenization and surface machining, is necessary to produce sound thin sheet by hot rolling.</P>

The pilomatricoma (calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe) is rare benign hard, spherical and freely movable cutaneous tumor, which was differentiated from hair cells, particulary hair cortex cells. It is usually occured as a single, asymptomatic, 0.5 cm to 3.0 cm sized, deep seated, firm nodule, covered by normal or pink skin. It arises chiefly in young people, including children, and most often in the head, neck and upper extrimites. The authers experienced a case of pilomatricoma which occured in preauricular region. This case was summarized as follows. 1. 10 years old female has suffered from hard subepidermal mass on preauricular area and she visited our out patient clinic. So we performed surgical extirpation and the excised specimen was pathologically examined. 2. Grossly the tumor measures 2.0 cm in diameter and firm, bosselated, spherical shaped which covered by a thin layer of fibrous tissue. On cut section, it shows spicular gritty surfaces, well encapsulation, interwoven and keratotic lamellae. 3. Histopathologically, the epithelial masses of the tumor are composed of two type of cells, basophilic cells and shodow cells. The basophilic cells resemble hair matrix cells which posses round or elogated, deeply basophilic nuclei and scanty cytoplasm.The shadow cells show a central, unstained shadow at the site of the lost nucleus. Gradual development of basophilic cells into shadow cells can be observed. Foci of calcification are present within the lobule of shadow cells. The stroma of the tumor shows a considerable foreign body giant cell reaction adjacent to the shadow cells. 4. No recurrence was observed until post - operative 40 months.

Dislocation is one of the serious complications in total hip replacement arthroplasties. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the risk factors of dislocation, including age, sex, preoperative diagnosis and bilaterality, history of previous hip surgery, positioning of component, soft tissue tension, treatment after dislocation or redislocation. Authors reviewed 190 patients of total hip replacement arthroplasty, which were performed from Jan. 1990 to Dec. 1996. 15 cases developed dislocation after surgery. Incidence of dislocation was 7.89%(15 of 190 cases). Dislocation after revision was not happened(0 of 18 cases). Inclination of acetabular cup was average 37.5° (range: 31° - 43° ). Average anteversion of the acetabular component was 18.1" by Woo and Morrey method, 11.4° by Hassan method. They were normal range except 3 cases. Dislocation was not prevented even though inclination and anteversion of acetabular cup were within normal range. Soft tissue tension is determined by change of limb and femoral neck length. Average limb length difference was -0.2mm(range; -l0mm - +10mm) and average offset difference was +1.7mm(range;-4mm - +18mm). Revision must be accomplished as soon as possible when limb shortening happen by upward migration of the acetabular component. In conclusion, anteversion of acetabular cup may be most important factor in our cases, so cup position must be fixed in proper position during operation.

Objectives : The protective effects of estrogen against the development of schizophrenia have been investigated in various perspectives, Previous studies showed patients with earlier age of menarche had later onset of schizophrenia and less frequent admissions. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of the age of menarche on subsequent courses including hospitalizations, suicidal attempts, Physical harm to others, and psychotic symptoms in women with schizophrenia. Methods : Self-report menarche age, onset of psychotic symptoms, and clinical status were collected in a sample of 108 Premenopausal women with the diagnosis of schizophrenia. Results : There was significant correlation between the age of menarche and the frequency of admissions (r=.321, p=.006). Also, Patients with history of physical harms to others showed later age of menarche than those without (t=2.025, df=106, p=.045). Conclusion : In women with schizophrenia, the age of onset of menarche affects subsequent courses indicated by frequency of admissions and violent behaviors. It is suggested that identifying the age of menarche might be helpful to predict the courses in women with schizophrenia. Further investigations regarding the relationship between estrogen and the courses of Schizophrenia in women are needed.

목적 : 제일제당에서는 녹농균의 세포외막 단밸질을 유효성분으로 하는 백신인 CFC-101을 개발하였으며, 동물시험에서 이 백신의 안전성과 유효성을 입증하였다. 본 연구에서는 이 녹농균 백신의 인체에 대한 안전성과 면역원성을 평가하는 동시에 인체 접종시의 최적 투여 용량을 결정하기 위하여 제 I/Ⅱa상 임상시험을 수행하였다. 방법 : 건강한 성인 남자를 피험자로 선별하여 각 용량군에 백신투여자 6명, 위약투여자 2명을 배정하였다. 백신 투여군은 0.25mg, 0.5mg 또는 1.0mg 용량의 녹농균 백신을 7일 간격으로 3회에 걸쳐 근육주사 하였으며, 위약 투여군에게는 세포외막 단백질을 제외한 동일한 성분을 투여하였다. 백신접종 후 국소적 또는 전신적인 반응의 발생여부를 관찰하고, 혈액시료를 체취하여 백신의 역가와 유효성을 검정하였다. 결과 : 녹농균 백신 CFC-101은 모든 접종자에서 양호한 내약성을 보였다. 또한 0.5mg 과 1.0mg 백신 투여군에서는 100%의 항체양전율을 나타내었다. 생성된 항체는 녹농균 세포외막단백질에 특이성을 보였고, 녹농균 감염에 대해 방어효능이 있었다. 결론 : 이와같은 결과로부터 이 녹농균 백신은 인체에 안전하게 투여할 수 있으며, 높은 항체 생성능으로 감염방어 효능을 보이고 0.5mg과 1.0mg이 최적용량인 것으로 판단되었다. Background : We developed a Pseudomonas aeruginosa outer membrane protein(OMP) vaccine CFC-101, and the prophylactic efficacy of which has been demonstrated in animal models. In order to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the P. aeruginosa vaccine, we carried out a phase I/Ⅱa clinical trial in healthy male volunteers. Methods : Groups of eight volunteers, including two placebo subjects, were vaccinated intramuscularly with three doses of 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0 mg of the vaccine at one week intervals. Sings of systemic and local reactions observed after vaccination were recorded for each vaccinee for 5 days. Physical examinations were performed on days 0, 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, and 42, and clinical laboratory tests were done on days 0, 3, and 21. Blood samples for assay of serum antibody levels were obtained up to 42 days after the first vaccination. Results : The vaccine was generally well tolerated by all vaccinees, showing no significant side effects. In the three dosage groups, all vaccinees, except one receiving the 0.25 mg dose, showed significant elevation in serum IgG antibody titers against the vaccine proteins, indicating 100% seroconversion in 0.5 and 1.0 mg groups. The human antibodies induced by the vaccine were specific for P. aeruginosa OMPs, as confirmed by western blot analysis and immunoprecipitation assays. The capacity of the human antisera to enhance opsonophagocytic killing activity by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and to confer protection against P. aeruginosa infections indicates that the antibodies elicited by the vaccine have protective efficacy. Conclusion : We conclude that the P. aeruginosa OMP vaccine is safe and effective for human use and its optimal dose to be 0.5 or 1.0 mg.

Objective : The development of magnetic resonance neurography(MRN) has made it possible to produce highresolution images of peripheral nerves themselves, as well as associated intraneural and extraneural lesions. We evaluated the clinical application and utility of high-resolution MRN techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of peripheral nerve disorder(PND)s. Material and Method : MRN images were obtained using T1-weighted spin echo, T2-weighted fast spin echo with fat suppression, and short tau inversion recovery(STIR) fast spin-echo pulse sequences. Fifteen patients were studied, three with brachial plexus tumors, five with chronic entrapment syndromes, and seven with traumatic peripheral lesions. Ten patients underwent surgery. Results : In MRN with STIR sequences of axial and coronal imagings, signals of the peripheral nerves with various lesions were detected as fairly bright signals and were discerned from signals of the uninvolved nerves. Increased signal with proximal swelling and distal flattening of the median nerve were seen in all patients of carpal tunnel syndrome. Among the eight patients with brachial plexus injury or tumors, T2-weighted MRN showed increased signal intensity in involved roots in five, enhanced mass lesions in three, and traumatic pseudomeningocele in three. Other associated MRI findings were adjacent bony signal change, neuroma, root adhesion and denervated muscle atophy with signal change. Conclusion : MRN with high-resolution imaging can be useful in the preoperative evaluation and surgical planning in patients with peripheral nerve lesions.
