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.

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.

정태훈,김종호 서울産業大學校 1997 논문집 Vol.45 No.1

By the use of a simi1ar numerical method as that in the previous paper, the forming limit strain of bonded sheet metals is investigated, in which the FEM is applied and J2G(J2-Gotoh's corner theory) is utilized as the plasticity constitutive equation. Bonded two-layer sheets and sheets bonded with dissimilar sheets on both surface planes are stretched in a plane-strain state, with various work-hardening exponent n-values and thicknesses of each layer. Processes of shear-band formation in such composite sheets are clearly illustrated. It is concluded that, in the bonded state, the higher limiting strain of one layer is reduced due to the lower limiting strain of the other layer and vice versa, and does not necessarily obey the rule of linear combination of the limiting strain of each layer weighted according thickness.

鄭泰庚,崔仁好 중앙대학교 기술과학연구소 1990 기술과학연구소 논문집 Vol.20 No.-

This paper describes the analysis of electromagnetic system of solenoid actuator using 3-D axisymmetric finite element method. Solenoid actuator is a fast switching device which has been widely used in industries. To analyse the accurate solenoid actuator characteristics the finite element algorithm is used. It is also coupled with the external circuit equation. Axial forces and coil inductances are obtained from computed magnetic vector potentials. Dynamic equation is introduced to obtain the plunger motion exactly. To analyze transient characteristics, time differential terms of each equations are calculated with each time step. To take into account the magnetic saturation of iron core in electromagnetic system, the nonlinear finite element algorithm is used. The analysis is verified by comparing the measured values of axial forces in each position. It is considered that this paper can support the design of electrical machinery.

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.
