Purpose: The consequences of precipitously rising allergic skin inflammation rates worldwide have accelerated the risk of atopic dermatitis (AD). Natural product-based agents with good efficacy and low risk of side effects offer promising prevention and treatment strategies for inflammation-related diseases. We have already reported that Platycodon grandiflorum root-derived saponins (Changkil saponins, CKS) have many pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects, but its influence on AD remains unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the inhibitory effect of CKS, mainly platycodin D, on AD-like skin symptoms in mice and the possible mechanisms in cells. Methods: Mice were sensitized and challenged with 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). Four weeks after challenge, mice were treated with oral administration of CKS for 4 weeks. In addition, cells were used to evaluate the effect of CKS, mainly platycodin D, on the TARC expression regulated mechanism. Results: CKS attenuated DNCB-induced dermatitis severity, serum levels of IgE and TARC, and mRNA expression of TARC, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 in mice. Histopathological examination showed reduced thickness of the epidermis/dermis and dermal infiltration of inflammatory cells and mast cells in the ears. Moreover, CKS and platycodin D inhibited TNF-α/IFN-γ-induced TARC expression through the suppression of NF-κB and STAT1 and induction of Nrf2/ARE-mediated hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in cells. Conclusion: We suggest that CKS and platycodin D inhibited the development of AD-like skin symptoms by regulating cytokine mediators and may be an effective alternative therapy for AD-like skin symptoms.ⓒ2014 Elsevler Gmbh.

한상익,이성필,고효진,박원명,장계호,유태열,전태연,채정호,방승규,김광수,최보문,이정태,백인호 大韓神經精神醫學會 1999 신경정신의학 Vol.38 No.5

연구목적 : 1998년 정신건강의 날 기념 한국인 우울증 선별의 날 행사에 자발적으로 참여한 참가자들의 사회인구 통계학적 특성을 분석하고 우울증 선별검사 결과를 평가하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 8개 병원에서 얻어진 619명의 자료를 사용하여 선별검사로 밝혀진 우울증의 유병율과 사회인구통계학적 특성 및 응답자의 정신과적 치료를 포함한 과거력 등을 조사하였다. 결 과 : 우울증 척도 점수는 응답자 전체 평균 57.5±13.8로 경도의 우울 증상이 있는 것에 해당되었다. 전체 응답자의 69.5%(430명)가 최소한 경도 이상의 우울 증상을, 43.1%(267명)가 중등도 이상의 우울 증상을, 18.4%(114명)가 고도의 우울 증상을 보였다. 고도의 우울 증상이 있는 응답자의 56.8%와 중등도의 우울 증상이 있는 응답자의 63.9%가 정신과 치료를 받은 적이 전혀 없었다. 나이가 29세 이하인 것과 전임근무 중인 직업상태는 각각 나이가 60세 이상인 것과 직업이 없는 것에 비교하여 우울증으로부터 보호하는 인자임을 시사하였다. 결 론 : '1998 한국인 우울증 선별의 날' 행사를 통하여 많은 우울증 환자들을 선별해낼 수 있었고, 이들의 우울 증상은 몇몇 사회인구통계학적 특성과 유의한 관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 우울증 선별의 날 행사를 통한 우울증에 대한 교육과 우울증 선별검사는 치료받지 못하고 있는 우울증 환자 및 기존의 치료 중인 환자 모두에게 유용한 프로그램임을 알 수 있었다. Objectives : This study was performed to analyze the sociodemographic characteristics of participants in '1998 Korean Depression Screening Day' and to evaluate the results of the screening test. Methods : By using the survey results of 619 volunteers from 8 hospitals, the authors examined the prevalence of depression detected at the screening test and sociodemographic characteristics and the psychiatric treatment history of respondents. The assessment measure was the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale. Results : The mean depression score of all participants was 57.5±13.8 and it came under mild depression. Of all participants, 69.5%(N=430) had at least mild depressive symptoms, 43.1%(N=267) had at least moderate symptoms, and 18.4%(N=114) had severe symptoms. Never have 56.8% of respondents in the severely depressed range and 63.9% of those in the moderately depressed range had psychiatric treatment. The results suggest that the age group of 29-year-old or younger(relative to 60-year-old or older group) and full-time employment status(relative to unemployment) are protective factors of depression. Conclusions : By '1998 Korean Depression Screening Day', many depressed patients were detected and their depressive symptoms had statistically significant relationships with some sociodemographic characteristics. The results suggest that the education and screening test programs for depressive illness facilitated by Depression Screening Day are useful to the patients regardless of being under current treatment or not.

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.

醱酵食品添加物의 能力 및 安全性確認 硏究 : -第二報 乳酸菌製劑食品의 活性能力試驗- -PartⅡ Activity Test of Lactic Acid Bacterial Food and Drugs-

鄭鎬權,姜孝源,權泰鍾 건국대학교 1978 學術誌 Vol.22 No.1

This work was carried out to investigate the acid producing activity, tolerance and other important characteristics of the strains isolated from the market yogurt drinks (fermented milk or fomented milk drinks) and lactic bacterial drugs (control agent of entero-bacteria). And obtained results were as in the followings. 1. Almost of the strains isolated from market yogurt drinks were identified as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and two of them were Lactobacillus acidophillus. The specially aerobic strains isolated from lactic acid bacterial drugs were identified as Bacillus subtilis and anaerobics were Clostridium butylicum, Sporolactobacillus inulinus, Streptococcus faecalis and Bifidobacterium bifidum. 2. Concentration of active lactic acid bacteria of the market yogurt drinks was found almost as same level, and decreasing tendency of the concentration was commonly seen in every samples during hot summer (high temperature over 35℃). Acid producing activity of some stronger strains continued for 10 days and weak strains for 6 days in summer. 3. During 6 months of the test period, not any contamination case of pathogenic enter-obacteria was found in market yogurt drink samples. 4. But yeast contamination was so aboundantly seen that the ratio of contaminated case was attained to about 20% in fermented milk and to 80% in fermented drink samples. 5. Maximum acid production of the strains isolated from market yogurt drinks was attained to almost 2.0%, but that of the strains from tactic acid bacterial drugs was less than 0.7% except the Str. faecalis strain. 6. Curd forming and acid producing activities of both L. bulgaricus strains and L. acidophillus strains were almost as same level. And the activities continued for 15 days at temperature of 5℃ and pH of 4.0, but for 7 days at high temperature of 35℃. 7. In high temperature (over 35℃) and loll pH condition (less than 3.6), the old culture of homo fermentative lactic acid bacterial strains isolated from market yogurt drinks were more easily changed to hetero fermentative strains than the young culture of the strains.

정병천,배호상,곽동훈,김영태,배용학,황종현,임현주,류재근,조용근,채성철,전재은,박의현 慶北大學校 醫科大學 1997 慶北醫大誌 Vol.38 No.2

목적 : 급성하벽심근경색증 환자에서 심전도상 흔히 동반되는 전흉부유도 ST절 하강의 의의를 알아보았다. 방법 : 심근경색후 24시간에서 48시간에 얻은 심전도를 기준으로 52명의 급성하벽심근경색증 환자를 전흉부유도에서 ST절의 하강이 있는 군과 없는 군으로 나누었으며 심도자, 관상동맥조영술, 심초음파도 및 방사성 핵종을 이용한 좌심구혈율 측정 등을 시행하였다. 결과 : 1) 좌심실확장기말압은 전흉부유도에서 ST절의 하강이 있는 경우에서 16.9±5.33mmHg로 없는 경우의 11.0±4.02mmHg보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 그러나 운동량 및 좌심구혈을은 흥부 유도상 ST절의 하강이 있는 경우 7.6±3.0 METs 및 53.9±9.1%로 없는 경우의 9.1±2.7 METs 및 54.6±9.5%보다 낮았으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다(p=0.180, p=0.823). 2) 관상동맥조영술상 전흉부 ST절의 하강이 동반된 군에서는 유의한 좌전하행지나 좌회선지의 협착이 있는 경우가 60.9% 및 57.9%로 ST절의 하강이 없는 군에서의 34.5% 및 7.7%와 비교해 좌관상동맥에 협착이 동반된 경우가 많았다(p=0.050, p=0.001). 3) 관상동맥조영술상 세 혈관질환의 빈도는 흉부유도상 ST절의 하강을 보인 23예에서 10예로 ST절 하강이 없었던 29예중 2예에 비하여 유의하게 많았고(P=0.007), 단 혈관질환의 빈도는 ST절의 하강을 보인 군에서 23예중 5예로 ST절 하강이 없었던 29예중 17예에 비하여 유의하게 적었다(P=0.002). 두 혈관질환의 경우에는 각각 8예와 10예로 양군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 4) 흉부유도상 ST절 하강의 빈도는 단 혈관질환 22예 중 5예에서, 두 혈관질환 18예중 8예, 세 혈관질환 12예 중 10예에서 관찰되어 협착이 있는 관상동맥의 수가 많을수록 ST절의 하강이 나타나는 빈도가 많음을 보였다(p=0.00308). 그러나 흉부유도상 나타난 ST절의 하강을 모두 합하여 구한 ST절 하강의 합은 협착이 있는 관상동맥의 수와 통계적인 유의성이 없었다. 5) 심초음파도상 좌심실 하벽의 벽운동은 ST절 하강을 보인 군에서는 akinesia가 83.3%, hypokinesia가 11.1%, 정상 벽운동이 5.6%로, ST절 하강이 없었던 군에서의 dyskinesia가 3.6%, akinesia가 39.3%, hypokinesia가 25.0%, 정상 벽운동이 32.1%와 비교하여 ST절의 하강이 있는 군에서 유의하게 벽운동의 장애가 빈번함을 보였다(p=0.03891). 그러나 좌심실전벽, 측벽 및 중격부위에서는 유의한 벽운동의 차이가 없었다. 결론 : 급성하벽심근경색증 환자의 전흉부유도에서 ST절의 하강이 동반되는 경우 다혈관 질환의 가능성이 높으며 좌심실확장기말압이 상승되었고 운동능력은 감소되어 있었다. 또한 심초음파도상 좌심실하벽의 벽운동장애도 심하였다. 따라서 전흉부 ST절의 하강을 동반한 급성하벽심근경색증 환자는 전흉부유도에 ST절 하강이 없는 경우보다 예후가 불량할 것으로 생각되며, 보다 적극적인 치료가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. The purpose of this study was to determine the significance of precordial ST segment depression appearing during acute inferior myocardial infarction and to assess the correlation of that with angiographic finding. 52 patients were allocated into two groups based on the existence of precordial ST segment depression : 23 patients with ST segment depression and 29 patients without ST segment depression. The extent of coronary artery disease as well as the prevalence of significant stenosis (≥70%) in left anterior descending artery were more frequent in patients showing precordial ST segment depression than in patients not showing them (p=0.050) and the result were similar in cases of left circumplex artery (p=0.001). On echocrdiographic examination of left ventricular (LV) wall motion, it showed more severely decreased inferior LV wall motion in patients showing precordial ST segment depression than in patients not showing them (p=0.03891) even though the other segment of LV wall motion didn't show the statistical difference between both groups. The other cardiac parameters such as LVEDP, exercise amount (METs) and ejection fraction were tend to showing bad profile in patients with precordial ST segment depression. From the above results, we could deduce that patients with precordial ST segment depression have relatively large infarction or concomitant left coronary artery disease, so they need more caution and intensive theraphy.

The occurrence of a mixed tumor containing papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and primary squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) is rare because there is no squamous epithelium in the thyroid gland. Reported herein is a 30-year-old female with mixed PTC and primary SCC of the thyroid presented as thyroid incidentaloma. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid nodule revealed the presence of malignant thyroid cells. The histopathological examination following total thyroidectomy yielded two mixed, morphologically distinct histotypes that included PTC and SCC. After total thyroidectomy, the patient underwent radioactive iodine therapy. No recurrence or metastasis occurred during the 20-month follow-up period after the operation.

This study was performed to examine whether the precipitation of calcium phosphate and tissue compatibility of titanium implant are affected by the surface modification of potassium hydroxide treatment. Titanium plates of 10×10×1 mm in dimensions were polished sequentially from #600 to #2,000 emery paper and one surface of each specimen was received an additional polioshing sequence through 0.1㎛ alumina paste. Specimens were soaked in 0.1∼10.0 M KOH solutions at 60℃ for 24 hours and 5.0 M KOH-treated group was heated at 400∼800℃ for 1 hour. All specimens were soaked in the Hanks' solution with pH 7.4 at 36.5℃ for 30 days, and the surfaces were examined with X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). To evaluate the tissue compatibility of KOH-treated titanium, STS316L, untreated titanium and KOH-treated titanium were implanted into abdominal connective tissue sites of rats for 3 months. After removing the implants, abdominal tissue sites were fixed and prepared histologically for microscopic observation. It was characterized by the presence of connective tissue with fibrous capsule surrounding the implant and macrophages. Potassium titanate hydrogel layer, which can accelerate the formation of bonelike apatite layer on titanium surface, was obtained with the immersion in KOH solution. Precipitation of calcium phosphate on titanium surface was densified with the immersion in 5.0M KOH solution and heat treatment at 600℃. Number of macrophages in connective tissue site of 0.95 mm2, which is known to increase with the inflammation reaction proceeds, was significantly decreased as the alkali & heat treatment of titanium surface (p<0.01). The thickness of the fibrous capsule formed around the implant body was significantly decreased with the alkali and heat treatment of titanium surface (p<0.01).
