Shin Young Kim and Jin Lee. Exercise Training suppresses vascular fibrosis in aging obesity induced rats. JENB., Vol. 18, No. 2, pp.175-180, 2014 [Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise training (ET) on vascular fibrosisin aging model rats with diet-induced obesity. [Methods] Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups: Aging control (A-C), A-C with high fat diet (AHF), AHF with ET (AHF + ET). Aging was induced by D-galactose (D-gal) and obesity was induced by HFD (60% fat) for 9 weeks. The experimental rats performed swimming (60 min/day, 5 days/week) for8 weeks. All rat aorta samples were harvested for RT-PCR and morphologic analyses. [Results] The exercise training significantly decreased levels of AT-1, TGF-ß and Coll-1 gene expression compared to AHF group. The AHF + ET group showed a reduced collagen accumulation in the aorta media compared to AHF group. [Conclusion] These results suggest that ET could protect the aging obesity aorta against down-regulation of fibrotic factors (AT-1, TGF-ß and Coll-1 gene) and fibrosis by inhibition of collagen accumulation in the aorta media.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease(ADPKD) is one of most common hereditary disorder. It is potentially fatal and the major mobilities are hypertension and renal failure. To elucidate clinical characteristics and outcomes of ADPKD, 67 ADPKD patients were analyzed retrospectively. The male to female ratio was 48 years for males and 42 years for females. The factors leading to the dignosis of ADPKD were flank or abdominal pain (46%), palpable abdominal mass (24%), incidental findings (18%), gross hematuria and headache. Urinalysis result showed hematuria (31%), proteinuria (19%), pyuria (18%). Among renal complications hypertension (67%) was the most common. Other complications were urolithiasis (16%) upper urinary tract infection (9%), cyst infection (7%). Azotemia was observed in 24% of cases. Echocardiography showed left ventricular hypertrophy in 24% and valvular regurgitation in 18% of cases, but there was no mital valve prolapse. Cerebrovascular events occurred in 6 cases (2 cases of intervertebral hemorrhage and 4 cases of cerebral infarction). Hipatic cyst were observed in 64% of cases. Eighteen cases culminated in end stage renal failure (ESRF) at an of 47. According to this study, the most common complications of ADPKD was hypertension (67%), ESRF (27%), and cerebrovascular event (9%). Hypertension was more frequently observed in increased creatinine group than normal.

연구목적 : 암환자에서 신경학적 결손이나 발작 등이 동반되지 않는 두통의 원인과 이런 경우 심각한 두개내 질환에 의한 이차두통을 의심할 수 있는 소견의 진단적 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2005년 10월부터 2009년 1월까지 신경학적 결손이나 발작을 동반하지 않는 두통이 발생한 71명의 암환자를 대상으로 하였다. 자세한 병력을 청취하고 신경학적 검사를 하였으며, 환자의 상황에 따라 적절한 조합의 뇌MRI, 뇌CT, 및 뇌척수액 검사를 시행하였고, 최소한 3개월 이상 추적 관찰하였다. 이 소견을 종합하여 두통의 국제분류 기준(The International Classification of Headache Disorders, second edition) 에 따라 두통을 진단하였다. 또한 심각한 두개내 질환에 의한 이차두통을 의심할 수 있는 소견인 있는 환자군과 없는 환자군 사이에 중추신경계로의 전이빈도가 차이가 나는지 알아보았다. 결과 : 71명 중에 8.5%인 6명에서 중추신경계로의 전이가 관찰되었는데 심각한 두개내 질환에 의한 이차두통을 의삼할 수 있는 소견이 있었던 18명 중에 4명(22.2%), 이런 소견이 없었던 53명 중에 2명(3.8%)이었다. (상대위험도 5.89, 95% 신뢰구간 1.18-29.49). 두통의 다른 원인으로는 지주막하 출혈이 1명, 중추신경계 이외의 감염에 의한 두통이 6명, 항암제에 의한 두통이 1명, 고혈압성 두통이 1명, 방사선 치료와 관련된 두통이 1명, 원발성 찌름두통이 3명, 긴장성 두통이 51명이었다. 결론 : 심각한 두개내 질환에 의한 이차두통을 의심할 수 있는 소견의 유무가 암환자에서 발생하는 두통의 감별진단에 유용하며, 이러한 소견이 동반되지 않는 경우의 두통은 대부분 양성이다. 하지만 이러한 결론을 바탕으로 향후 보다 많은 대상 환자군을 통한 연구가 필요할 것이다. Purpose: Headache in patients with systemic malignancy is a great concern to neurologists. We performed this study to investigate the frequency of metastasis as the cause of headache in the patients with systemic malignancy and the usefulness of symptoms suggesting underlying serious pathologies especially when headaches do not accompany any other neurological symptoms. Materials and Methods: From October 2005 to January 2009, we prospectively collected 71 patients with systemic malignancy complaining headache but not having any other accompanying neurological symptoms. After thorough history taking and neurological examination, we performed a neuroimaging (MRI or CT) and CSF study according to the clinical situations of individual patients and followed them at least 3 months and diagnosed headaches according to The International Classification of Headache Disorders, second edition (ICHD-II). We compared the incidence of intracranial metastasis between headaches with symptoms suggesting underlying serious illness and those without. Results: Six (8.5%) out of 71 patients had intracranial metastasis: 4(22.2%) out of 18 patients with symptoms suggesting underlying serious illness, 2(3.8%) out of 53 patients without them (relative risk 5.89, 95% confidence interval 1.18-29.49). Other causes included subarachnoid hemorrhage (1 patient), headache attributed to infection (6), headache attributed to drug (2), hypertensive headache (1), headache attributed to radiotherapy (1), primary stabbing headache (3), and tension headache (51). Conclusion: This study suggests that headache symptoms suggesting underlying serious disorder are valuable in differentiating the causes of headache without any other accompanying neurological symptoms in patients with systemic malignancy and headaches without those symptoms might be usually benign. However, more broad study should be made for these value and relationship.

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.

목적 : H. influenzae는 성인에서 흔히 호흡기 감염을 일으키는 균주로, 최근 ampicillin 내성 β-lactamase 생성 균주들이 지속적인 증가를 보이고 있어, 이에 국내 성인에서 H. influenzae에 의한 감염의 임상양상과 분리된 균주들의 미생물학적 특성을 조사하고자 하였다. 방법 : 1998년 3월부터 1999년 9월까지 고려대 구로병원에 내원한 환자중에서 H. influenzae가 분리된 68명을 대상으로 임상양상을 조사하고 항균제 감수성 검사를 시행하였다. 분리된 33주에 대해서 혈청형, 생물형, 세포외막 단백분석을 시행하였고, β-lactamase 생성여부에 따른 감염 환자군간 임상상 및 예후의 차이를 비교하였다. 결과 : 환자의 평균연령은 68세였고, 지역사회 획득감염이 전체의 85%를 차지하였다. 폐렴과 기관지염과 같은 하기도 감염이 전체환자의 75%를 차지하였고 분리 검체 역시 객담이 84%로 가장 많았다. 환자의 71%가 기저질환을 가지고 있었으며, 그 중에 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환, 심혈관 질환, 악성종양, 당뇨병이 대부분이었다. 혈청형으로는 nontypeable 형이 68%로 가장 많았고 b형은 한 예도 없었다. β-lactamase 생성율은 63.2%였고, β-lactamase 양성균주의 항균제 내성율이 음성균주에 비하여 높았으나 β-lactamase 생성 여부에 관계없이 cefotaxime, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin에 대하여 100%의 감수성을 나타내었고 cefaclor, cefuroxime에 대해서는 10% 이하의 낮은 내성율을 보여 이들 항균제들이 치료에 효과적일 것으로 사료된다. 세포외막 단백분석에서는 C형과 D형이 전체의 64%로 가장 많았으며, 혈청형과의 유의한 연관성은 보이지 않았다. 결론 : 성인에서 H. influenzae는 주로 만성 기저질환자에서 급성 호흡기감염 또는 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환의 급성 악화를 유발한다. 기존의 보고에 비해 β-lactamase 양성율이 증가하였고, 이에 따른 항균제 내성율도 증가하여 항균제의 선택에 유의하여야 할 것으로 생각된다. 세포외막 단백분석상 특정한 유형의 균주에 의해 감염이 집중적으로 발생하고 있어 향후 역학 조사의 도구로 이용할 수 있겠다. Purpose : H. influenzae is one of the common causative microorganisms of respiratory tract infections in adults. Recently. β-lactamase producing, ampicillin-resistant H. infiuenzae has become worldwide problem as well as in Korea. We studied to investigate the clinical features and microbiologic characteristics of H. infiuenzae infections in adults. Materials & Methods : From March 1998 to September 1999, 68 patients were enrolled in this study. Clinical features of H. infiuenzae infections were investigated, 68 isolates were subjected to the β-lactamase test, and 33 isolates were used for serotyping. biotyping, antibiotic susceptibility and outer membrane protein (OMP) analysis. Results : Mean age of study patients was 68 years-old and the acquisition rate in community was 85%. Pneumonia and bronchitis were the most common type of infection such as 80%, sputum was the most common clinical specimen for H. mQuenzae isolation. 70% of patients had chronic underlying diseases. Non-typeable strains were 68% and β-lactamase producing rate was 63%. There was no difference in the clinical features and prognosis of H. influenzae infection between the β-lactamase positivie and -negative groups. The susceptibility of cefotaxime, azithromycin, and ciprofloxacin was 100% and that of cefaclor, cefuroxime was under 10% in spite of β-lactamase positivity. In OMP analysis, C and D types were dominant (64%). Conclusion : H. influenzae caused acute respiratory infections in adults with chronic underlying disorders. This study shows higher β-lactamase producing rate and antibiotic-resistance rate than that were reported previously. OMP analysis shows that two major types of strains cause clinical infections intensively.

To know the drugs effect on gene expression and its regulating mechanism by RT-PCR and southern blot hybridization assay based on detection of the P30 gene encoding the major surface antigen, P30 of Toxoplasma gondii and the DNA synthesis in T. gondii infected HeLa cells. The experiment was performed and the results were as follows. 1. The thymidine incooperation in DNA of HeLa cell and T. gondii infected HeLa cell reached peak level at 36 hours and suddenly decreased at 48 hours. The uracil incooperation in DNA of T. gondii reached peak level at 48 hours. 2. The decrease of P30 gene expression began from 24 hours after pyrimethamine treated and 36 hours after methotrexate treated in T. gondii. The results were some what different. Pyrimethamine was more sensitive and acted earlier to T. gondii than Methotrexate did. The decrease of P30 gene expression of T. gondii was regulated these drugs in dose dependent manner. 3. The effects of dibutyryl cyclic AMP on P30 gene expression increased peak at 24 hours and on contrary decreased at 60 hours after treatment in dose dependent manner, but at 10mM high concentration of dibutyryl cAMP, P30 gene expression was supressed. 4. Actinomycine D supressed the P30 gene expression of T. gondii in HeLa cell. As the results, we presume pyrimethamine acts more powerful and earlier to supresses P30 gene expression than methotrexate, and it is regulated at transcription level. The results of RT-PCR were in agreement with that of southern blot hybridization.

Actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative infection, whitch infiltrates mucosa-associated tissues. Thoracic, pelvic and cervicofacial infections of actinomyces are not uncommon, but endobronchial actinomycosis is rarely reported. We report a case of a 29 year old man who presented with a recurrent pneumonia and chronic cough. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed occlusion of the right. lower medio-basal segment bronchus with exophytic endobronchial mass. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically by demonstration of sulfur granules in the bronchoscopic biopsy of the mass. Intravenous administration of amoxacillin and clindamycin followed by oral amoxacillin and clindamycin therapy resulted in complete recovery.

Coronary artery calcification(CAC) is found frequently in the atheromatous plaques. CAC is known to have increased frequency above 40 years. CAC without evidence of atherosclerosis in young adults is quite rare, however, CAC combined with aneurysms in young adults have been infrequently reported in patients with a past history of a Kawasaki disease in child. We report an autopsy case showing CAC and aneurysm in the absence of macroscopically identified atherosclerotic lesions in a healthy 23-year-old man. The autopsy examination revealed aneurysmal dilatation of the right coronary artery, which was connected with calcified lesion. A calcified lesion of the left anterior descending coronary artery was aslo noted. Microscopically, aneurysmal wall was non-specific except for hyalinized wall and foci of calcification. A striking histologic finding of calcified mass was ring calcification along the wall of the coronary artery. Antecedent Kawasaki disease in the past was suggestive as other reports.
