The workplace exposure of chemicals has steadily increased, therefore the concern for subsequent effect on reproductive outcome has been an important issue in occupational medicine. In previous studies, higher rates of spontaneous abortion, reduced fertility and menstrual disorder among women, and an impairement of sperm quantity and quality among men have been associated with a wide variety of chemical agents. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of toluene, xylene and trichloroethylene(TCE) injection on the mRNA levels of GnRH, GnRH receptor and Pit-1 genes in male rats hypothalamus and pituitary and the effects on the plasma levels of FSH, LH, prolactin and testosterone. Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into five groups of five each according to concentration of toluene, xylene and TCE. The rats were injected subcutaneously to 0, 50, 100, 200, 400 mg/kg body weight/day of toluene, xylene and TCE, respectively for 6 days. Rat brains were excised and hypothalamus and pituitary were separated. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and RNase protection assay(RPA) were used to evaluate the GnRH, GnRH receptor and Pit-1 mRNA levels. Plasma concentrations of FSH, LH, prolactin and testosterone were assayed by radioimmunoassay(RIA). The results were as follows; 1. GnRH, GnRH receptor and Pit-1 mRNA levels in toluene and xylene injected groups, and GnRH receptor mRNA levels in TCE injected group were lowered dose-dependently. Especially, GnRH receptor and Pit-1 mRNA levels in 200mg/kg of toluene injected group, and GnRH, GnRH receptor and Pit-1 mRNA levels in 400mg/kg of toluene injected group were significantly lower than control group (p<0.05). GnRH receptor and Pit-1 mRNA levels in 400mg/kg of xylene injected group, and GnRH receptor mRNA levels in 400mg/kg of TCE injected group were significantly lower than control group(p<0.05). 2. The plasma levels of prolactin and testosterone in 400mg/kg of toluene injected group, and LH in 100, 200 and 400mg/kg of xylene injected group, and testosterone in 400 mg/kg of TCE injected group were significantly lower than control group(p<0.05). In conclusion, we speculated that toluene and xylene affected reproductive system secondarily through hypothalamus-pituitary axis, and TCE affected directly through steroidogenesis. And we recommended that further study for assessment of the reproductive toxicity of mixed organic solvent exposures should be conducted.

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.

이정호,김응석,김용섭,장성익,윤환중 동국대학교 의학연구소 2000 東國醫學 Vol.7 No.-

IGF2 유전자는 제 11번 염색체 단완 (11p15.5)에 위치해 있으며 아버지로부터 유전된 대립형질만 기능을 하는 genomic imprinting되는 유전자이다. 이 유전자는 정상세포에서는 세포증식을 촉진시키는 작용을 하고 몇가지 암에서는 LOI에 기인한 과발현이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 한편 WT1 유전자는 제 11번 염색체 단완 (11p13)에 위치해 있으며 어머니로부터 유전된 대립형질만 기능을 하는 즉 IGF2 유전자와는 정반대의 genomic imprinting 되는 유전자이다. 이 유전자는 비뇨생식기관의 발생에 매우 중요한 유전자이며 암화과정에서는 암억제 유전자로서 기능한다. 소아신장에서 발생되는 Wilms 종양에서는 IGF2 유전자와 WT1 유전자의 고장이 주원인으로 생각하고 있다. 이에 근거하여 성인에서 발생되는 신장세포암에서도 Wilms 종양에서의 결과와 같을 것인지의 여부를 알기 위하여 12명의 신장세포암 환자 ( 남자 6명, 여자 6명)로부터 얻은 조직을 이용하여 이들 유전자의 발현정도를 조사하였다. 환자의 연령은 남자에서는 43세에서 56세까지였고 여자에서는 23세에서 61세까지였다. 신장세포암에서 IGF2 유전자와 WT1 유전자의 발현정도는 다같이 성별이나 연령과는 무관하였다. IGF2 유전자는 50%에서 발현되었으며, 그 발현정도는 저발현에서부터 중등도 그리고 과발현까지 다양했으며 주로 신세뇨관 부위에 있는 암세포에서 발현되었다. WT1은 56%에서 발현되었으며 과발현과 중등도 발현이 대부분이었다. IGF2 유전저의 발현과 WT1 유전자의 발현은 각 예에서 상이하게 나타나서 두 유전자간의 작용은 일치하지 않았다. IGF2 gene which was located on chromosome 11p15.5 is expressed by the paternal allele. It stimulates the cell proliferation in normal cells, however, it is over expressed in some cancers due to LOI (loss of genomic imprinting). In contrast, WT1 gene which was located on chromosome 11p13 shows maternal specific monoallelic expression. It is a very much important gene in developing urogenital system, besides, it acts as tumor suppressor gene in some cancers. IGF2 and WT1 genes are the main causative genes in Wilms tumor which is developed in pediatric kidney. To understand the status of IGF2 and WT1 expressions in renal cell carcinoma which is developed in adult life, tissues from 12 cases patients (male 6 cases ; female 6 cases) were detected by immunohistochemistry with antibodies from IGF2 and WT1 genes. To distinguish the different ages between Wilms tumor and renal cell carcinoma, the patients age in renal cell carcinoma was ranged in 43-56 years old in man and 23-61 years old in female. No direct correlation was, in general, between gene expression of IGF2 and WT1 and age or sex of patients in renal cell carcinoma. Expression of IGF2 gene revealed six of twelve (560%) and expression of WT1 gene showed seven of twelve (56%) in renal cell carcinoma, respectively. The status of IGF2 gene expression was varied from low to high expression. In contrast, the status of WT1 gene expression was higher than in IGF2 gene expression. However, there was no apparent correlation between expressions in each cases. In conclusion, IGF2 and WT1 genes are very important in carcinogenesis of renal cell carcinoma, however interaction between two genes was obscure.

Splanchnic neurolytic block(SNB) with alcohol improves the management of pancreatic cancer pain. Adverse effects of alcohol SNB which include regional pain, hypotension, diarrhea, and acute alcohol intoxication are common, but acute hepatitis caused by alcohol neurolytic block is rare. A 63-year-old patient with pancreatic head cancer and liver metastasis had complete pain relief after both retrocrural tansdiscal SNB with 100% alcohol 10 ml. But, 1 day later, liver function test showed a high elevation in the aspartate aminotransferase (AST, 2182 IU/L) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT, 1807 IU/L). The patient had slight jaundice, general weakness, chilling, nausea and vomiting after SNB. Both AST and ALT decreased to 46 and 119 IU/L within 10 days with only supportive therapy. But, 19 days later, the patient died due to pneumonia. Our case illustrates the importance of clinical surveillance especially in patient with hepatic disease after alcohol SNB.

이기환,오제직,최석남,박병빈,이태호,김영유 공주대학교 사범대학 과학교육연구소 1998 과학교육연구 Vol.29 No.1

p-type α-SiC(4H, 6H, 15R polytype)를 사용하여 다공질 실리콘(porous silicon; PS)의 제작방법과 유사하게 HF/H₂O/C₂H??OH 용액에서 전기화학적으로 에칭을 하여 광발광 특성을 가지는 다공질 실리콘 카바이드(porous silicon carbide; PSC)를 제작하였다. PSC의 다공질의 분포는 전류밀도가 증가할수록 증가하고 다공질의 크기는 감소하였으며 광발광(photoluminescence; PL) 스펙트럼의 분석을 통해 전극 표면에서의 산화반응은 공급되는 전자의 양과 전류밀도에 의존하며 전류밀도가 증가할수록 전극의 산화반응은 억제된다는 결과를 얻었다. Porous silicon carbide(PSC) having photoluminescence(PL) can be prepared by a technique very similar to that used in porous silicon preparation, by electrochemical etching of crystalline p-type α-SiC(4H, 6H, 15R polytype) in ?? solution. The results show that porous distribution increase with increasing of the current densities while pore size decrease with that. Through the PL spectra analysis anodic oxidation of electrode surface was dependent on the amount of provided electrons and the current densities and inhibited with increasing of the current densities.

This study was designed to evaluate the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis abnormalities and the possible influence of gender on the TSH response to TRH in bipolar patients and schizophrenics by using TRH stimulation test. The subjects were consisted of 34 bipolar patients(male : 14, female : 20) and 24 schizophrenics(male : 11, female : 13). The results were as follows ; 1) There was a significant difference in the baseline TSH level of female subjects before TRH administration between bipolar patients and schizophrenics. 2) The TSH levels at 60 and 90 minutes after TRH administration in female bipolar patients were significantly higher from those of female schizophrenics(P〈0.05). 3) In female subjects, the response of TSH level after TRH administration was significantly different between the two groups(P〈0.005).

공간 데이터에 대한 최근접 질의 처리에 관한 연구

이석균,류승환 단국대학교 1999 論文集 Vol.34 No.-

In spatial database systems, various kinds of queries exist. A frequent type of queries in spatial database systems is the query to find nearest neighbors. Many studies have been performed on processing such queries, and one representative work, which uses index structure of R-tree family, is 「Nearest Neighbor Queries」 by Roussopoulos. However, the algorithm proposed by Roussopoulos has suffered perfomance decrease during searching, since his algorithm does not utilize all the information on the nodes already visited. In this paper, in order to resolve this problem, we present an improved algorithm to find nearest neighbors using a global priority queue. Finally, by experimenting these algorithms on various test data, we show that the performance of our improved algorithm is superior to the Roussopoulos's algorithm.

임베디드 OS를 사용한 개선된 Network Attached Storage 개발

이성화,문석환 제주한라대학 2003 論文集 Vol.27 No.-

Generally. 90% of data saved in disks by current companies are sometimes the ones not being used at all. The sudden increase of data are led to the expansion of companies' storages especially the capacity of the discs. However, from the standpoint of the companies. they cannot expand the capacity of the disc recklessly. Therefore. instead of importing expensive foreign products. it is necessary to develop high quality products of cheap price so that the small and medium companies can also introduce without difficulty. The device suggested from this study is Network Attached Storage system. It is the same concept with the existing File Server. It has capability of keeping all the data, yet. it is different technology compared to the existing concept. T! his product's operative system was developed to be fit for the product that it is the best-suited product in its efficiency. And in order to lower the cost of the product. I have used ATP disc. And to enhance the credibility of the product. I have stablized the system by using RAID technology. Also in order to minimize down time. I have enabled the system to drive within 5 minutes. The technology suggested from this study can be applied to wherever the large capacity media storage and the network occurred same time is wanted such as education-related department and etc.
