( Won Il Heo ),( Kui Young Park ),( Mi-kyung Lee ),( Yu Jeong Bae ),( Nam Ju Moon ),( Seong Jun Seo ) 대한피부과학회 2020 Annals of Dermatology Vol.32 No.3

Background: Early-onset and severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in patients increase the probability of the development of allergic rhinitis or asthma. Treatment and prevention strategies in infants and young children with AD are targeted toward treating the symptoms, restoring skin barrier functions, and reducing the absorption of environmental allergens in an attempt to attenuate or block the onset of asthma and food allergy. Objective: Given that the initiating events in AD remain poorly understood, identifying those at risk and implementing strategies to prevent AD is necessary. Methods: Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed in a 43 control group and a disease group with 20 AD patients without atopic march (AM) and 20 with AM. Sanger sequencing was carried out to validate found variants in cohorts. Results: DOCK8, IL17RA, and KLK12 single-nucleotide polymorphisms were identified by WES as missense mutations: c.1289C>A, p.P97T (rs529208); c.1685C>A, p.P562G (rs12484684); and c.457+27>C, rs3745540, respectively. A case-control study show that total immunoglobulin E (IgE) level was significantly increased in the AA genotype of DOCK8 compared to the CA genotype in allergic patients. The rs12484684 of IL17RA increased risk of adult-onset AD (odds ratio: 1.63) compared to the control for (A) allele frequency. AD and AM Patients with the IL17RA CA genotype also had elevated IgE levels. rs3745540 of KLK12 was associated with AD in dominant model (odds ratio: 2.86). Conclusion: DOCK8 (rs529208), IL17RA (rs12484684), and KLK12 (rs3745540), were identified using a new WES filtering method. the result suggests that polymorphism of DOCK8 and IL17RA might be related to increase the total IgE level.

Background: Although cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) is a very effective therapy in cardiac arrest, it is hard to prove the true effectiveness of CPR. Several studies about out-of-hospital and emergency department CPR exist, but only a few reports about in-hospital CPR are available. This study was designed to investigate in-hospital cardiac arrest, to analyze the result of CPR, and to evaluate the problems associated with in-hospital CPR. Methods: A clinical analysis of 71 cases of in-hospital CPR announcement from January 2000 to August 2000 was performed. The initial rhythm on cardiac arrest, return of spontaneous circulation(ROSC), and the survivals were analyzed in the case of the 46 true cardiac arrest patients. Results: During 8 months, there were 71 cases of in-hospital CPR announcement. Among them, there were 46 cases of true cardiac arrest and 25 cases of non-cardiac arrest. Of the 46 true cardiac-arrest cases, 27(58.7%) experienced ROSC, 15(32.6) survived for over 24 hours, and 7(15.2%) survived to be discharged. The initial rhythms on cardiac arrest were 30 cases(65.2%) of asystole, 14(30.4%) of PEA(pulseless electrical activity), and 2(4.3%) of ventricular fibrillation, with ROSC being 17 cases(56.7%), 9(64.3%) and 1(50.0%) cases and discharged survivors being 4 cases(13.3%), 3(21.4%) and 0(0.0%) cases, respectively. Conclusion: Extraordinarily high proportions of asystole and PEA were seen in the initial rhythm of cardiac arrest, and those were associated with high survival rates. Although further study is needed to evaluate the course leading to this high proportion of asystole and PEA, this result suggests that if the EMS system in the hospital is activated promptly and systematically, a better outcome will be achieved in case of cardiac arrest with asystole and PEA.

Objective To assess the effi cacy of human placental extract (HPE) in an animal model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Method We used (i) KRN C57BL/6 TCR transgenic x NOD mice (KBx/N) serum transfer arthritis and (ii) collageninduced arthritis (CIA) mice to evaluate the effi cacy of HPE (1 ul or 100 ul, intra-peritoneal, three times per week)on RA. Incidence, severity of arthritis, and hind-paw thickness were quantifi ed. Joint destruction was analyzed using modifi ed mammographic imaging. Histopathological analysis for infl ammation, cartilage, and osteoclasts was performed using Hematoxylin-eosin (H-E), safranin-O, and tartrate-resistant acidic phosphatase (TRAP). ELISAs were used for detection of various cytokines in serum and joint tissue. Results Th ere were no signifi cant diff erences in incidence of arthritis, clinical scores of arthritis, and hind-paw thickness between HPE-treated and vehicle-treated groups for up to 2 weeks in the KBx/N serum transfer arthritis model. Histopathological analysis also showed no diff erences 2 weeks after treatment. Levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, and RANKL in serum and joint tissues were similar in all groups. Furthermore, there were no diff erences in clinical, radiological, and histological parameters between HPE-treated and vehicle-treated group for 3 weeks in the CIA model. Conclusion Systemic treatment with HPE has no benefi cial eff ects on arthritis in animal models of RA. Th erefore,indiscreet use of HPE in RA should be forbidden.

This paper proposes a scheme to assess a heavy truck's ride performance in an objective way using road simulator test results. The road simulator has six posters. They are excited in in-phase mode or out-of-phase mode to produce bounce, pitch or roll motion independently. In the road simulator test with a real vehicle, 8-accelerometer, 4-displacement sensor, and one gyro system are used for measuring the vehicle's vertical acceleration, vertical displacement, pitch angle and roll angle. The accelerometers are attached at each axle, left and right frame, and driver seat floor of the cab. They are used to monitor the vehicle's bouncing motion. The displacement sensors are attached at the center of the first and last cross member of the frame, and left and right of the deck. They are used to monitor pitch and roll motion of the frame. The gyro system is attached at the mass center of the cab. It is used to monitor the cab's pitch and roll motion. The real vehicle's road simulator test results are processed to identify the natural frequencies of bounce, pitch and roll mode with respect to a driver. The identified natural frequencies are compared with ride performance criteria defined by ISO2361 to assess the vehicle's ride performance.

원격 와이핑 작업을 위한 제어 기법

전지명,이승호,문일동,오재윤 전북대학교 공학연구원 ( 구 전북대학교 공업기술연구소 ) 2002 工學硏究 Vol.33 No.-

This study proposes a technique utilizing virtual information instead of real information in a teleoperated wiping operation. A teleoperation system composed of a master manipulator, a slave manipulator, and a real-time control system is used for this study. Both the master and slave manipulator have a kinematic structure effectively conveying and following the operator’s command respectively. The master manipulator uses DC servo motors to do a major role for counter balancing. A force sensor attached at the end of the slave manipulator’s end effector is used to measure a contact force. MATLAB/xPC Target is used for real-time control of the teleoperation system in Windows OS. This study proposes algorithms for generating the virtual force and the virtual velocity. They are generated as the master manipulator’s grip moves up and down, and back and forth. A force-force control technique proposing in this paper uses the virtual force as a reference input for the contact force control, and uses the virtual velocity as a reference input for control the slave manipulator’s horizontal movement. A PID controller is used as a local controller for the contact force control. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposing force-force control technique, experiments are performed on a plastic plate with two bumps.

Background: Recently, The number of patients who have been complaining of the vertigo or dizziness has been increasing due to rapid growth of elderly population and senile disease. The differentiation of dizzy patients is not familiar to most emergency physicians. This study was designed to differentiate true vertigo and to investigate the clinical difference among central vertigo, peripheral vertigo, and other causes of dizziness. Methods: The authors analyzed the cases of 237 dizzy patients who visited the emergency department of Chonnam University Hospital during the recent 2 years. For the base of dizziness, associated past illnesses, severity, nystagmus type, and the causes of central and peripheral vertigo. Results: Female patients were 142(59.9%) and male patients were 95(40.1%). The most common age group was the 6th decade. The origin of dizziness was classified as peripheral cause(25.3%), central cause(32.9%), and others(41.8%). As to nature of the dizziness, the rotatory sense was dominant in peripheral vertigo and the floating sense and blurred vision in central vertigo. Peripheral vertigo was triggered by position change of head and body, and central vertigo by the eye movement. Audiograms I showed that most patients with central vertigo had normal hearing, but 46.7% of thoswith peripheral vertigo had an abnormal hearing disturbance. Nystagmus was more prevalent in peripheral vertigo Conclusion: History taking and physical examination played an important role in the diagnosis of dizzy patients. An important part of the diagnosis of a dizzy patient could be to evaluate the peripheral origin, the central origin and others causes. Because central vertigo may be associated with a significant neurological pathology, spectral radiological studies, including MRI and CT, are mandatory to rule out a devastating brain lesion.

적응 알고리즘을 이용한 DS/CDMA 간섭제거

문병현,손준일,이채욱 대구대학교 과학기술연구소 1998 科學技術硏究 Vol.5 No.2

A DS/CDMA receiver with adaptive filter has more benefit than conventional DS receiver, such as near-far problem, multiuser interference rejection and artificial jamming. Usually in the CDMA receiver, filter length is same as spreading sequence length. So the more PN sequence length, the more number of calculation is needed for convergence. Recently, partial update algorithm like SNLMS or SBNLMS is proposed to resolve this problem. But these algorithms have defect that convergence is slow because of partial updating. We propose the effective adaptive algorithm for DS/CDMA multiuser interference rejection and show the correlation between the number of block and convergence in selective coefficient update algorithm.

허혈성 흰쥐 해마에서 NMDA수용체 아단위 NR2B와 세포골격단백질 MAP-2의 변화

정용욱,문일수,고복현 동국대학교 경주대학 1996 東國論集 Vol.15 No.-

전반적 저산소증(global ischemia) 과 불완전 국소허혈(incomplete focal ischemia)에서 신경세포의 NMDA수용체 아단위 2B와 세포골격단백질 MAP2의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 immunoblot방법과 면역 조직화학법으로 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 해마신경세포의 연접이후치밀질(postsynaptic density, PSD) 를 이용한 NR2B, MAP2표현의 변화를 알아보면 저 산소증과 불완정 국소허혈에서 3일 후 감소 하다가 6일 후에는 점차 정상 수준으로 환원되었으며(저 산소증의 MAP2제외)반대편 해마의 경우 NR2B는 3일경과 후 표현이 감소 하다가 6일 후에는 정상 수준 이상으로 증가 하였으며 MAP2는 정상과 변화가 없었다. 2. 해마의 면역조직화학법에서 MAP2의 표현은 저 산소증과 동측의 불완전 국소허혈 부위의 CA1, CA3, DG 전체 지역에서 정상에 비해 3일 후 감소 하다가 6일 후 증가 하였다(허혈의 반대측 해마의 경우는 CA1에서 MAP2의 표현이 6일째 감소됨.) 이상의 관찰 결과를 종합 해볼때 해마 신경세포의 지연성 손상은 NMDA수용체 아단위 2B의 감소와 세포골격단백질 MAP2를 파괴하며 그 시기는 3일 이전에 일어나 6일경에는 회복하는 단계를 거치는 것으로 생각되며 정확한 회복 시기는 허혈의 정도에 따라 차이가 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 허혈 반대편 부위에서의 NR2B와 MAP2의 면역 반응성 감소는 허혈지역의 주변부위에서(penumbra)에서 나타나는 현상과 일치하였다. Changes of NR2B & MAP-2 expression in global and focal ischemia Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, DongGuk University YONG WOOK JUNG M.D., IL SOO MOON Ph.D., BOK HYUN KO M.D Microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP-2) degradation by Ca2' - dependent proteases after NMDARs (NRs) activation has been postulated in delayed hippocampal neuronal damage.. Degradation of MAP-2 in rat brain after hypoxia and ischemia was investigated through immunoblot analyses and immunohistochemistry. In order to test the changes of each NR subunits (NR2B) and MAP2 in neuronal damage, we carried out in vivo experiments to see if there is selective changes of MAP-2 and NR2B in global hypoxia and focal left common carotid artery ligation.. We found that, in global ischemia, NR2B was down-regulated and recovered to normal level by 3 and 6 days while MAP-2 was unchanged by the same days compared to untreated hippocampus, and that similar changes regarding to NR2B and MAP-2 were observed at ipsilateral hippocampus in focal ischemia. In contralateral hippocampus, NR2B expression was decreased and MAP-2 expression was unchanged compared to untreated hippocampus. These results imply that NR2B and MAP2 expression are regulated on the degree of ischemic damage in delayed neuronal death and that, in focal ischemia, down-regulation of NR2B in contralateral hippocampus may be a similar effect which is seen in the peripheral zone (penumbra) of ischemic region.
