Objectives: The mushroom Ganoderma lucidum has been widely used as a traditional herbal medicine for many years. Although several studies have focused on the anti-oxidative activity of this mushroom, the molecular mechanisms underlying its activity have not yet been clearly established. The present study investigated the cytoprotective effect of ethanol extract of Ganoderma lucidum (EGL) against oxidative stress (hydrogen peroxide, $H_2O_2$) and elucidated the underlying mechanisms in a C2C12 myoblast cell line. Methods: Oxidative stress markers were determined by using the comet assay to measure reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage. Cell viability and Western blotting analyses were employed to evaluate the cellular response to EGL and $H_2O_2$ in C2C12 cells. Transfection with nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-specific small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) was conducted to understand the relationship between Nrf2 expression and $H_2O_2$-induced growth inhibition. Results: The results showed that EGL effectively inhibited $H_2O_2$-induced growth and the generation of ROS. EGL markedly suppressed $H_2O_2$-induced comet-like DNA formation and phosphorylation of histone H2AX at serine 139 ($p-{\gamma}H2AX$), a widely used marker of DNA damage, suggesting that EGL prevented $H_2O_2$-induced DNA damage. Furthermore, the EGL treatment effectively induced the expression of Nrf2, as well as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), with parallel phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of Nrf2 in the C2C12 myoblasts. However, zinc protoporphyrin IX, a HO-1 inhibitor, significantly abolished the protective effects of EGL against $H_2O_2$-induced accumulation of ROS and reduced cell growth. Notably, transient transfection with Nrf2-specific siRNA attenuated the cytoprotective effects and HO-1 induction by EGL, indicating that EGL induced the expression of HO-1 in an Nrf2-dependent manner. Conclusion: Collectively, these results demonstrate that EGL augments the cellular anti-oxidant defense capacity through activation of Nrf2/HO-1, thereby protecting C2C12 myoblasts from $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative cytotoxicity.

Objective: Occupational medicine specialists in the Busan, Ulsan and Kyung-Nam areas established an area-based occupational disease surveillance system and used this system to collected case information for the purpose of preventing occupational diseases Methods: l l hospital participated in this system. The authors selected five main diseases, which were hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WRMSD), occupational asthma, occupational skin disease and occupational and occupational lung cancer and established their case definitions. All cases were reported on the web, and real time analysis was conducted. Results: Between April 2001 and April 2003, 192 cases of HAVS, 118 cases of WRMSD, 33 cases of occupational asthma, 17 cases of occupational skin disease and 17 cases of occupational lung cancer (for a total of 377 cases of these five main diseases) were reported. most of the HAVS cases came from shipbuilding, and 172 of them (92.7%) were associated with grinding. Of the four main types of WRMSD, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) was the most prevalent with 46 cases and shipbuilding was also the main industry involved (83.9%). The ergonomic risk factors involved mainly associated with the hand. In 19 (57.6%) and 4 (12.1%) cases of occupational asthma, the agents involved. The causative agents of occupational lung cancer included Cr, welding fume, PAH, Ni, etc. 10(58.8%) of the cases were diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma and 5(29.4%) as adenoma. Conclusion: This result showed that an area-based occupational disease surveillance system might provide an effective method of evaluating the prevalence of such diseases, however the Busan, Ulsan and Kyung-Nam provinces are too large to be treated as individual areas. Therefore, the authors suggest that each province should establish its own surveillance system.

In Vitro Antiviral Activity of Ribavirin Against Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus Myung Jin LEE1, Kye-Hyung KIM1, Jongyoun YI2, SuJin CHOI1, Chung-Jong KIM1, Nak- Hyun KIM1, Kyoung-Ho SONG1, Pyoeng Gyun CHOI1, Ji-Hwan BANG1, Wan Beom PARK1, Eu Suk KIM1, Sang-Won PARK1, Hong Bin KIM1, Nam Joong KIM1, Myoung- Don OH1 Seoul National University College of Medicine, Korea1, Pusan National University School of Medicine, Korea2 Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease caused by a novel Bunyavirus, severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV). No effective antiviral therapy is proven yet, but clinical use of ribavirin (RBV) has been tried. We investigated the antiviral effect of RBV against SFTSV in vitro. Methods: To test for cytotoxicity of RBV, Vero cells were treated with different concentrations of RBV (3.90 to 500 μg/mL, two-fold dilution) and analyzed by cell viability MTS assay 48h post-infection. To determine antiviral activity of RBV against SFTSV, Vero cells were infected with SFTSV strain Gangwon/Korea/2012 at 100 TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose) per well in a 96-well plate, and RBV was added at the concentrations showing no or minimal cytotoxicity. Viral RNAs were extracted from the culture supernatants and quantifi ed using one-step real-time reverse transcription- PCR to amplify the partial large segment of SFTSV. Statistical analysis was done by one-way ANOVA with Tukey`s post hoc test. Results: Cytotoxicity due to RBV was not observed at RBV concentration =31.3 μg/ mL. Viral RNAs at 24h post-RBV treatment were reduced with increasing RBV concentrations (1-32 μg/mL), compared with those of mock-treated cells (P <0.01, Figure). Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of RBV was 3.69 μg/mL at 24h post-RBV treatment. Conclusions: Our study shows that RBV has antiviral effect against SFTSV in a dose-dependent manner. Further studies are required to evaluate the effi cacy of RBV in SFTS.

The side weir is a structure that is installed to maintain uniform overflow discharge and reduce or distribute the peak flow in downstream at flood. The facility has been widely used in reducing the peak flow of flood when increasing the runoff in proportion to the development of watershed. To estimate more accurately the outflow over a sharp crested side weir, it is necessary to analyze the flow characteristics over side weir and to estimate the discharge coefficient in the weir equation. The purpose of this study is to suggest the suitable length of side weir and to propose equations for the discharge coefficients of side weir in off-line detention basin by means of hydraulic model experiments with the variations of upstream Froude number in the main channel and length of side weir. Experimental results show that the discharge coefficients depend on the upstream Froude number in the main channel and the ideal ratio of side weir length to main channel width was found to be more than 6.

In present study, the method for making the anchor body buried are investigated by making the width of the anchor fluke shorter and bending the anchor bill inward in order to reinforce holding power of large anchor using stow net gear. The results are summerized as follow ; (1) The narrower the width of anchor fluke, the better burying condition is and the anchor could be expected to 100% burying when at angle "α"=35˚∼39˚ of fluke I-IV. (2) The straight type anchor arm was found to bury easier than the bended type, and no relation was found concerning the bending of the bill in the comparative experiment. (3) The most desirable form was that "α" value was between 37˚∼39˚ in anchor fluke III, at that time holding power was determined at 12∼13kg. (4) The relation between base line of anchor arm (am) and holding power(Pton) was deduced P≒2a3 at above condition (3). Holding power appeared from burying the anchor was aproximately three times as compared with that of an ordinary one, namely, the experimental anchor was concluded that the same holding power as ordinary one was taken in spite of 50% weight reduction.

정신분열병 환자의 통증 감지력 둔화와 압통 역치

송지영,이장호 大韓神經精神醫學會 2000 신경정신의학 Vol.39 No.1

연구목적: 정신분열병 환자에서 통증자극에 따른 감지력이 저하되어 있는지를 압통역치를 이용하여 알아보고, 만일 통증감지력이 저하되어 있다면 이는 어떠한 정신증상과 관련되는지를 밝혀 보고자 하였다. 방 법: 정신분열병환자 21명(남자 8명, 여자13명)과 건강대조군 23명(남자 9명, 여자14명)을 대상으로 하여, 환자군에서 양성 및 음성증상을 측정하고, 양군에서 압통측정기를 이용하여 압통역치를 측정하였다. 양군에서 압통역치의 차이를 분석하고, 증상의 호전도에 따른 압통역치의 변화를 보았다. 결 과: 정신분열병환자가 정신증상이 심할 때 압통역치는 대조군에 비해 의미있게 높았으며, 증상이 호전되면 압통역치는 정상대조군 수준으로 감소되었다. 정신증상 중에는 망상의 심도가 압통역치의 변화와 관계가 있었으며, 투여된 항정신약물은 압통역치에 영향을 주지 않았다. 결 론: 정신분열병에서 보이는 통증감지력의 둔화현상은 지속적이라기 보다는 일시적인, 가역적인 뇌기능의 변화에 따른 감각수용 장애나 집중력 저하와 관련되는 것으로 추정된다. 정신분열병에서 통증감지력의 둔화현상을 조기에 발견하는 것은 치명적인 신체질환에 따른 위해(危害)를 막을 수 있다는 점에서 임상적으로 중요한 부분이다. Objectives: Decreased pain sensitivity to the external stimuli was sought by measuring the pressure pain thresholds in patients with schizophrenia. In the case of the pain insensitivity(PI) being confirmed, the relationship between psychiatric symptoms and PI was to evaluated. Methods: 21 schizophrenic and healthy controls enrolled. Pressure pain thresholds(PPT) were measured by pressure algometer on initial and recovered phase, and positive and negative symptoms by PANSS(Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale)(Stanley et al. 1991) were obtained in patient group. The confounding factor induced by antipsychotics to the PPT was controlled for. Comparisons of PPT between two groups, and correlations of PPT and psychiatric symptoms in patient group were tested. Results: 1) Schizophrenic patients with active psychotic symptoms showed higher PPT compared to healthy controls. 2) When psychiatric symptoms were improved, PPT was decreased to the level of healthy controls. 3) Only the subscale of delusion in PANSS was closely correlated with PPT in patients with schizophrenia. 4) The dose of antipsychotics did not influence the PPT of the patient group. Conclusion: A part of patients with schizophrenia revealed they had higher pressure pain thresholds, which suggested PI in active symptom phase. However, PPT were restored almost to the level of normal controls when psychotic symptoms were improved. Thus, PI seemed to be a transient phenomenon rather than a persistent one. Changes of pain sensitivity to the external stimuli in schizophrenics would be associated with severity of delusion based upon reversible changes of brain function. Decreased attention due to delusion or lack of motivation seemed to be causal factors of PI. Clinicians should give attention to PI in schizophrenic patients to prevent physical illness and serious injuries in them.

연구목적 : 본 연구는 사회문화적 배경이 다른 한국과 러시아, 두 나라의 한국인 청소년을 대상으로 우울증의 유병율을 비교 조사하고, 우울증과 관련된 사회심리적 위험요인들을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 연구도구의 한국어판을 제작하고 두 나라의 청소년 우울증 환자 40명씩을 대상으로 우울척도의 cut-off 점수를 산정하기 위한 예비연구를 본 연구에 앞서 시행하였다. 한국의 청소년 대상은 서울 소재의 중고등학생 838명이었고, 러시아의 청소년은 우즈베키스탄 공화국의 중고등학생 중 양부모가 모두 한국인인 652명이었다. 연구도구로는 우울증의 사회심리적 요인들과 횡문화적 요인들을 조사하기 위하여 기초자료 설문지 및 Beck 우울척도를 적용하였다. 결 과 : 우울증 환자를 대상으로 시행한 예비연구에서 얻은 Beck 우울척도의 cut-off 점수 19점 이상을 기준으로 하였을 때, 한국 청소년 집단에서 우울증의 유병률은 26.5%인데 반하여 러시아 청소년에서는 7.4%의 유병률을 보였다. 한국인 청소년들은 한국인-러시아 청소년에 비하여 염세주의(pessimism), 실패감(failure), 자살사고, 죄책감 등, 절망감(helplessness)과 관련된 증상들이 유의하게 많이 나타났다. 한국인 청소년과 한국인-러시아 청소년 간에 우울증의 유의한 사회심리적 위험요인들로서 여성, 낮은 학업성적, 부모와의 갈등이 공통적으로 나타났으며, 그외에 친구교제 요인, 만성 신체질환, 형제간이나 친구들과의 갈등이 한국인 청소년에서는 또 다른 위험요인으로 존재하였다. 결 론 : 본 연구를 통하여 한국인 청소년의 우울증 유병율이 한국인-러시아 청소년의 유병률에 비하여 유의하게 높았으며, 한국과 러시아의 한국인 청소년들 간에 우울증의 유의한 사회심리적 위험요인들이 차이가 있음을 시사한다. Objectives : In order to study a cross-cultural epidemiology of the adolescent depressives with Korean ethnicity in Korea and Russia, we compared psychosocial characteristics and risk factors of depressive disorder between two school-based populations in different sociocultural environments. Methods : We measured psychosocial variables of 838 subjects in Korea, and 652 in Russia(Uzbekitan) using Basic Questionnaires and Beck Depression Inventory(BDI). Results : The cut-off point of BDI for adolescent depression in Koreans was 19 points. Higher prevalence of depression was noted in Korean adolescents(26.5%) compared to Korean-Russian adolescents(7.4%). We found signicant risk factors of adolescent depression in two study samples : female, academic failure, meeting friends less frequently, presence of chronic physical illness, interpersonal problems with parents, and same-sex and opposite-sex friends. Conclusions : Our data will provide information on cross-cultural understanding of psychosocial characteristics and risk factors in adolescent depression compared between Koreans and Korean-Russians.
