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.

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.

Jung‑Ho Sim,Tae‑Yeong Kim,Jun‑Yeon Kim,Chi‑Won Kim,Jun‑Ho Chung,Joonoh Moon,Chang‑Hoon Lee,Hyun‑Uk Hong 대한금속·재료학회 2022 METALS AND MATERIALS International Vol.28 No.2

In the present study, low carbon ferritic and bainitic steels with different contents of Mo, Ti, and Nb were designed for bothseismic and fire-resistant applications. The microstructure of steels containing 0.3 wt% Mo–0.02 wt% Nb (‘A’ hereinafter)was mainly composed of bainite. By contrast, the microstructure of steels with 0.2 wt% Mo–0.13 wt% Ti (‘B’ hereinafter)consisted of ferrite with a high density of nano-sized (Ti,Mo)-rich MX precipitates. The results showed that the bainiticmicrostructure (‘A’ steel) was quite favorable to high-temperature strength and thermal stability. The yield strength of ‘A’ steelat both room and 600 °C temperatures increased consistently with increasing thermal exposure time (600 °C/200–1000 h),since the precipitation of NbC particles occurred while maintaining bainitic ferrite platelets with a high density of dislocationsduring exposure. In the ‘B’ steel, the formation of nano-sized (Ti,Mo)-rich MX particles was effective to impededislocation movement, leading to excellent plasticity (lower yield ratio) at room temperature. However, their contributionto precipitation hardening was not so much at 600 °C, as compared to the bainitic strengthening. During low cycle fatiguetests at room temperature, the main different feature between the two steels is that the ‘A’ steel showed cyclic softeningwhile cyclic hardening was evident in the ‘B’ steel. The bainitic microstructure showed a better fatigue life due to increasedductility manifested by cyclic softening, by which dislocation cell was developed.

Objectives : Ojeoksan, originally recorded in an ancient Korean medicinal book named “Donguibogam” and has been used for the treatment of circulation disorder of blood which was called blood accumulation (血積) in Korean medicine. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the beneficial effect of OJS on vascular inflammation in HUVECs. Methods : We evaluated the effect of OJS on the expression of cell adhesion molecules and protective role in HUVEC stimulated by TNF-α by using Western blot. Results : Pretreatment with OJS decreased the adhesion of HL-60 cells to TNF-α-induced HUVEC. OJS suppressed TNF-α-induced expression level of cell adhesion molecules such as intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1), and endothelial cell selectin (E-selectin). Moreover, OJS significantly decreased TNF-α-induced production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS); and inhibited the phosphorylation of IκB-α in the cytoplasm compared to the experimental group. Pretreatment with OJS inhibited the trans-location of NF-κB p65 to the nucleus. OJS also inhibited phosphorylation of MAPKs compared to the experimental group. OJS significantly increased the protein expression of Nrf2 and HO-1. Conclusions : Ojeoksan has a protective effect on vascular inflammation, and might be a potential therapeutic agent for early atherosclerosis.

홍창우,김태경,김경진,김성환,김남윤,심도식,이정호,윤청호,백민경,원치문,박제선,이주형,정경일 강원대학교 석재복합신소재제품연구센터 1996 석재연 논문집 Vol.1 No.-

콘크리트 구조물이 대형화됨에 따라 설계단면이 증대되어 상대적으로 많은 경제적 손실을 부담하게 된다. 따라서 단면을 감소시키면서도 소요의 하중에 안전한 구조물을 건설하기 위해서는 우선적으로 구조물 건설에 기초가 되는 고품질, 고내구성의 고강도 콘크리트 개발이 절실히 요구된다 본 연구에서는 일정 시멘트비 및 혼화재 비율하에서 소요의 워커빌리티가 확보되는 고강도 콘크리트를 시간과 온도의 변화에 따라 증기 양생하여, 압축, 인장, 휨강도 뿐만 아니라 파괴특성을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 시료 제작시 시멘트 입자 사이의 공극 및 불연속 영역을 충전하여 고밀도화하기 위한 콘크리트용 혼화재로 시멘트 비표면적이 상당히 작은 초미립 분말인 실리카흄을 이용하였다. 또한 AE감수제 및 고성능 유동화제를 사용하여 혼화재의 첨가에 의하여 발생될 수 있는 워커빌리티의 감소를 방지하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 일정 양생 지속 시간하에서 온도의 증가에 따라 콘크리트의 압축, 인장 및 휨강도가 전반적으로 증가하였다. 동일하게 일정 온도하에서 양생 지속시간이 커짐에 따라 강도들이 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 상대적으로 높은 온도와 긴 지속 양생 조건하에서 파괴에 대한 저항력이 크게 나타났다. The compressible, tensible, and flexibleresistance of the high strength concrete is analyzed by the experimentation in the present study. For the test, we cure several samples with the silica fume as a mixture being become dense the spaces between the particle of cement under the variation of both the temperature and the curing-interval. Then, the superplasticizer and the ezcon are also used to satisfy the required workability for construction. The compressible, tensible, and flexible resistances to a stress are increased as increasing the temperature and the time interval for the curing. Therefore it is concluded that the overal fractural and mechanical properties is improved by mixing the silica fume into the cement.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the material characteristics and strength properties of concrete mixed with waste incinerated bottom ash(BA), and to evaluate the leaching of environmentally harmful heavy metals from the bottom ash itself and from hardened concrete mixed with bottom ash. For this purpose, two reference mixed with W/C ratio of 0.45 and 0.55 were used, and the replacement proportion of BA was varied with ratios of 0, 30, 50, 70 and 100% by volume of fine aggregate in the reference mixes. The variation of compressive and splitting tensile strength, workability and unit weight of concrete were considered. Test results showed that the strengths, workability and unit weight decreased with increase in proportion of BA replaced. Leaching test results showed that there would be no environmentally harmful problem from using BA as substitutes of fine aggregates in concrete.

홍현상,백인호,김정진,이창욱,이 철,도규영 大韓神經精神醫學會 1998 신경정신의학 Vol.37 No.4

목 적 : 가계연구, 입양연구, 쌍생아연구들은 정신분열병의 원인으로 유전학적 요소가 매우 중요하다는 것을 지적해 주고 있다. 그러나 정신분열병의 유전적인 복잡성으로 인하여 많은 연구들이 시행되었음에도 유전방식이나 원인 유전자를 밝히지는 못하였다. 최근에는 5HT₂a수용체가 비정형항정신병약물의 주된 작용부위하는 것이 밝혀지면서 5HT₂a 수용체의 유전자가 정신분열병의 원인과 관련이 있을 것이라는 관심이 늘어나게 되었다. 따라서 저자들은 한국인 정신분열병환자들을 대상으로 5HT₂a 수용체 T102C 다형성과의 association study를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 환자군은 강남성모병원에 입원했던 DSM-Ⅲ-R의 진단기준에 의한 정신분열병환자로 250명이었으며 평균연령은 30.1±9.3세 이었다. 정신분열병환자를 위한 양성증상과 음성증상척도의 종합척도를 기준으로 점수가 1이상인 경우를 양성군, -1이하인 경우를 음성군으로 하였다. 대조군은 정신과나 신경과 질환의 과거력이나 가족력이 없는 236명의 지원자로 구성하였으며 평균연령은 23.6±3.7세이었다. 다형성과 정신분열병 및 임상양상과 임상아형 사이의 유전적인 관련성의 분석에는 로지스틱 회귀분석과 일원 변량분석을 시행하였으며 통계 프로그램으로는 SPSS 7.5를 사용하였다. 말초혈액에서 DNA를 분리한후 중합효소 연쇄반응으로 증폭하였으며, 증폭산물을 제한효소인 MspI으로 처리하여 유전자형을 판별하였다. 결 과 : 5HT₂a 수용체 T102C 다형성의 대립유전자 빈도와 유전자형 분포는 환자군과 대조군 사이에 유의한 차이를 보여주지 못하였으며, 임상아형과도 유의한 관련이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 정신분열병환자를 위한 양성증상과 음성증상척도중 음성증상척도는 유전자형에 따른 유의한 차이를 나타내었다(F=3.828, df=2, p=0.023). 결 론 : 본 연구의 결과는 한국인에서 5HT₂a 수용체의 T102C 다형성이 정신분열병의 발생과 임상아형의 결정에는 관련이 없으나 음성증상의 발현에는 관련이 있음을 시사해 준다고 하겠다. Objectives : Family, twin and adoption studies indicate that genetic factors play a crucial role in the etiology of schizophrenia. However, mode of inheritance of schizophrenia is uncertain, and genes for schizophrenia have not yet been identified despite extensive studies due to the complexity of the genetics of schizophrenia. Currently, 5HT₂a receptor gene has attracted considerable interest as a susceptibility gene of schizophrenia since the 5HT₂a receptor has been known as one of the major target sites of atypical neuroleptics. We conducted an association study of T102C polymorphism in the 5HT₂a receptor gene in Korean schizophrenic patients using PCR-RELP method. Methods : Two hundred and fifty biologically unrelated schizophrenic patients meeting DSM-Ⅲ-R criteria from Kangnam St. Mary's Hospital affiliated with Catholic University of Korea were recruited for our study. The patient group consisted of 123 male and 127 female subjects, aged 30.1±9.3years. The controls were volunteers for DNA library of Kangnam St. Mary's Hospital without family history of psychiatric or neurologic illness. The control group consisted of 124 males and 112 females, aged 23.6±3.7years. Amplified genomic DNA was digested by MspI. The significance of genetic association of the polymorphism was estimated by the logistic regression analysis and ANOVA using SPSS 7.5. Results : The allele frequencies and the genotypic distribution of 5HT₂a receptor gene were not significantly different between the patient and control group. In addition the allele frequencies and the genotypes of 5HT₂a receptor gene were not significantly associated with subtype of schizophrenia. However, negative symptom score according to genotype show significant difference(F=3.828 df=2 p=0.023). Conclusion : It is suggested that even if the development and subtype of schizophrenia may not be associated with T102C polymorphism of 5HT₂a receptor in Korean population, T102C polymorphism may be associated with the severity of negative symptom.

In order to prevent cost overrun, it is required to check the cost overrun factors periodically. The purpose of this study is to suggest three indexes that can help diagnosing construction cost. Total construction cost can be decomposed into individual cost items according to resource consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to control resources that may cause cost variance. The three indexes suggested in this paper are variance of total resource input, variance of individual resource input, and variance of resource balance, where the resource input and resource balance are measured as cost.
