The Seroli cell was identified as> the main primary target site for the action of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in the testis. FSH has been known to bind specifically to Sertoli cell and to evoke a series of biochemical responses such as increased accumulation of cyclic AMP, production of androgen binding protein, and steroid metabolism. Recently age related changes in FSH stimulation of cAMP and aromatization of testosterone of 17β-estradiol were demonstrated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in cAMP and testosterone to 17β-estradiol aromatization responses of FSH with dose differences in isolated rat Sertoli cells of different age. Methods for preparation of rat Sertoli cells were adapted from those used to prepare rat Sertoli cells. Homogenous preparations of primary Sertoli cell cultures were obtained from the testis of the rat of different age: prepubertal (14 days old rat), pubertal (18 days old rat) and adult (60 days old rat). For cAMP determinations, cells were stimulated for 30 min at 37?C with different dose of FSH in media containing 0.1 mg/m]l l-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine. cAMP assays were performed in duplicate using radioimmunoassay kit. FSH stimulated aromatization of testosterone of 17j3-estradiol was determined in cells stimulated with different dose of FSH in media containing 0.5 μmol/ml testosterone. 170-estradiol assays were performed in duplicate by means of specific radioimmunoassay. The results were as follows: 1. Sertoli cells from adult rats responded to FSH stimulation with over 30-fold rise at 5 min. At 30 min, cAMP is significantly lower and down to baseline level by 60 min. 2. There were age-related differences in Sertoli cell cAMP response after 30 min of FSH stimulation. Sertoli cells from pubertal rats responded most sensitively to FSH with a dose response relationship. 3. The heighest aromatase enzyme activity in converting testosterone to 17(3-estradiol was found in pubertal rat Sertoli cells. Sertoli cells from pubertal rats demonstrated a dose-response of FSH stimulation of testosterone to estradiol conversion. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that the age and dose-related differences in rat Sertoli cell response to FSH, and also provide direct evidence that the Sertoli cells represent a primary target site for FSH activity in the testes.

Endotracheal intubation has been used widely for the maintenance of airway in the emergency patient and CPR in the acute airway obstruction patient and to treat respiratory insufficiency. Endotracheal intubation has many advantages but it may cause several complications which rate about 4% of endotracheal intubation patient. Among these complications, laryngeal granuloma is a relatively rare complication arising about 1 case per 10,000∼20,000 cases. Authors report a case of laryngeal granuloma which developed after endotracheal intubation required during emergency treatment. Case: A 55-year old female patient visited Chosun University Hospital Emergency Room complaining of dyspnea, cyanosis and sweating on Feb. 8th 1995. According to past history, she had a little obesity, dyspnea on exercise and mild hypertension. At arrival, blood pressure was 240/110mmHg, pulse rate 150 rates/min, respiratory rate 12/min, body temperature 36.5℃ and cyanosis with sweating on whole body was observed. And the mental state was semicoma. At 5 minutes after arrival, sudden respiratory arrest developed and immediate endotracheal intubation which emergency treatment was performed it was difficult to intubate endotracheally due to short neck and obesity. At 1 hour after arrival, general condition of the patient recovered well and extubation was done. The patient was transferred to internal medicine department and discharged after 12 days of medical treatment. At 2 months after discharge, the patient felt a progressive hoarseness and foreign body sensation of larynx. She was diagnosed as laryngeal granuloma at ENT department of Chosun University. She underwent the surgical operation and discharged in good health after 7 days of admission.

Song, Jae-Young,Choi, Yeo-Jeong,Kim, Jeong-Min,Kim, Yoo-Ree,Jo, Jin-Seong,Park, Jin-Sik,Park, Hee-Jin,Song, Yun-Gyu,Lee, Kon-Ho,Kang, Hyung-Lyun,Baik, Seung-Chul,Youn, Hee-Shang,Cho, Myung-Je,Rhee, Kw The Korean Society for Microbiology 2011 Journal of Bacteriology and Virology Vol.41 No.4

Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the cell extract of H. pylori. The purified enzyme consisted of heavy and light subunits with molecular weights of 38 kDa and 21 kDa, respectively. N-terminal amino acid sequence of heavy and light subunits revealed that H. pylori GGT was processed into 3 parts for a signal peptide of 27 amino acid residues, a heavy subunit of 352 residues, and a light subunit of 188 residues during translation. The reaction rate for hydrolysis of ${\gamma}$-GpNA was 84.4 ${\mu}mol/min$ per milligram of protein, and that for the ${\gamma}$-glutamyl transfer from ${\gamma}$-GpNA to gly-gly was 23.8 ${\mu}mol/min$ per milligram of protein. The apparent Km values of H. pylori GGT for ${\gamma}$-glutamyl compounds were on the order of $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-4}$ M and those for acceptor peptides and amino acids were on the order of $10^{-1}$ to $10^{-2}$ M. The GGT protein kept approximately 80% of the initial enzymatic activity on incubation at $60^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. The optimum temperature and pH for reactions of both hydrolysis and transpeptidation were $40^{\circ}C$ and 9.0, respectively. The transpeptidation and hydrolysis reactions catalyzed by H. pylori GGT were strongly inhibited by L-Gln and moderately inhibited by L-Ala, L-Ser, ${\beta}$-chloro-L-Ala, and L-Glu. These results demonstrated that the biochemical properties of H. pylori GGT are different from those of other bacterial GGTs. Further, H. pylori GGT might degrade glutathione in the gastric mucous layer of humans if the enzyme could be secreted in the bacterial niches.

시험불안은 전세계적으로 학령기 아동 또는 청소년들이 공통적으로 경험하는 불안이라고 할 수 있다. 경우에 따라서는 어느 정도의 시험불안은 학습을 촉진시키기도 하지만 대부분의 경우에 학습을 저해시키는 요인으로 작용한다. 지난 수십년동안 시험불안의 요인이나 특성에 대하여 많은 연구들이 있어왔으나 단편적이며, 시험불안의 정확한 특성이나 원인에 대하여 아직 밝혀져 있지 않은 상태이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 시험불안의 특성을 규명하기 위하여 시험불안과 상태-특성불안, 우울증과의 상호관련성에 관하여 알아보았다. 서울시내 한 고등학교 학생들을 대상으로 하여 시험불안, 우울증, 상태-특성불안 간의 상호관계에 대하여 신뢰도와 타당도가 입증된 평가도구를 시용하여 상관성을 검증하였다. 시험불안과 우울증과의 상관성은 상관계수 0.56(p<0.05), 특성불안과의 상관성은 상관계수 0.53(p<0.05), 상태불안과의 상관성은 상관계수 0.75(p<0.05)로서 모두 의미있는 상관관계를 보여주었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 시험불안은 단순한 시험불안이 아니라 우울증, 상태불안, 또는 특성불안과 밀접한 관계가 있다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 시험불안에 대한 치료적인 대책을 수립할 때에는 이러한 요인들이 고려되어야 한다. Introduction : Test anxiety is a pervasive problem among high school students in Korea. While anxiety in test situations may actually facilitate the performance of some students, more often it is disruptive and leads to performance decrements. Over the past years, many child psychiatrists have become concerned with understanding the nature of test anxiety, but it is not clearly understood yet. In order to understand the nature of test anxiety, the relationship between test anxiety and depression, state anxiety, trait anxiety was examined. In addition, the relationships between the subscores of test anxiety (worry and emotionality) and the subscores of CDI, state anxiety or trait anxiety were examined. Methods : The Test Anxiety Inventory, Chidlren's Depression Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were administered to 425 high school students in Seoul. The relationships between test anxiety and other measures were tested using Pearson correlation coefficients and to test the causal ralationship among the variables, regression analysis was performed. Results : The correlation coefficients between test anxiety and depression, state anxiety, trait anxiety were 0.56(p<0.05), 0.75(p<0.05), 0.53(p<0.05) respectively. The correlation coefficients between subscales of test anxiety and depression were all significant. The correlation between subscales of test anxiety and state and trait anxiety were also statistically significant. Conclusions : This study indicates that test anxiety is closely related with depression, state and trait anxiety. In addition, the subscales of test anxiety are significantly related with those of the depression. The correlation coefficients between test anxiety and state-trait anxiety are also statistically significant. Thus, in order to develop the preventive and effective methods for treatment, these psychopathological characteristics should be kept in mind.

As the roughness coefficient by existing manning table is used by technician's experience and judgement, it isn't always correct. This study as a try to make quantitative roughness coefficient is to suggest a new application mode computerizing roughness coefficient by surveying the velocity and hydraulic condition of small rivers. The bound of roughness coefficient was 0.027∼0.180 and its values distribute uniformly. This means that the roughness coefficient adapt value Manning table cannot fill up the transformed value when the small rivers are low. The roughness coefficient computation mode in this study with hydraulic radius(R), channel slope(I), average grain diameter(D) as subject factors presents as follows. n = 5.97R^0.671 l^0.452 D^0.059

연구목적 : 본 연구는 치매와 우울증을 다차원적으로 평가할 수 있는 도구인 Psychogeriatric Assessment Scale(PAS)의 한국판(PAS-K)을 개발하기 위한 것이다. 방 법 : 번역, 역번역, 그리고 세차례의 예비조사를 통하여 PAS-K를 제작하였다. 60세 이상의 노인 291명(임상환자군 : 58명, 지역사회노인군 : 168명, 수용시설 거주자 : 67명)과 그들의 정보제공자들을 대상으로 PAS-K, Geriatric Depression Scale(GDS), Korean version of Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE-K), Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression(HRSD), 그리고 Hachinski Ischemic Score 를 적용하고, Diagnostic Interview chedule(DIS-Ⅲ-R)을 사용하여 치매와 우울증을 진단하였다. PAS-K의 신뢰도와 타당도를 평가하고, 예민도와 특이도, Kappa값, 그리고 ROC커브 분석법을 이용하여 PAS-K의 6개의 소척도들(피검자면접 : 인지기능 장애척도, 우울척도, 뇌졸중척도, 정보제공자면접 : 인지기능 저하척도, 행동변화척도, 뇌졸중척도)의 최적 절단점을 구하였다. 결 과 : PAS-K는 높은 내적 일관성을 보였고, 검사자간 신뢰도도 만족할 만한 수준이었다. PAS-K의 소척도들을 다른 표준화된 검사도구들과 비교하였을 때 인지기능 장애척도와 인지기능 저하척도는 MMSE-K와, 우울척도는 GDS 및 HRSD와 유의한 상관관계를 보였으며, 뇌졸중척도는 Hachinski Ischemic Score와 통계적으로 의미있는 상관관계를 보였다. 최적절단점은 인지기능 장애척도 10점, 인지기능 저하척도 3점, 우울척도 5점, 피검자면접과 정보제공자 뇌졸중척도 모두 1점, 그리고 행동변화척도 2점으로 추정하였다. 결 론 : 본 연구를 통해 PAS-K의 신뢰도와 타당도가 검증되었고, 노인정신의학 역학연구나 보건분야에서 치매와 우울증의 임상경과관찰 및 일차 선별도구로서 유용하게 사용될 수 있게 되었다. Objectives : This study was designed to develop the Korean version of the Psychogeriatric Assessment Scale(PAS-K), a multidimensional screening tool for the dementia and depression. Methods : Through three times preliminary trials, the authors translated PAS into Korean. The PAS-K, Geriatric Depression Scale, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Hachinski Ischemic Scale and Mini-Mental State Examination-Korean version were administered to 291 subjects over the age of 60 and the same number of their informants(67 subjects were institutionalized, 168 subjects were in community, 58 subjects were psychiatric hospital patients). And the Diagnostic Interview Schedule(DSM-Ⅲ-R) was independently administered to exactly diagnose dementia and depression. The reliability and validity test, optimal cut-off point estimation for six each scale and ROC curve analyses were done to investigate the diagnostic validity of PAS-K. Results : Internal consistency and interrater reliability of the PAS-K were high. Concurrent validity of each scales of PAS-K was good in being measured with other standardized scales. The optimal cut-off points of each scale of the PAS-K were estimated as follows : 1) Stroke Scale of subject interview : 1, 2) Cognitive Impairment Scale of subject interview: 10, 3) Depression Scale of subject interview : 5, 4) Stroke Scale of informant interview : 1, 5) Cognitive Decline Scale of informant interview : 3, and 6) Behavioral Change Scale of informant : 2. conclusions : The PAS-K was valid and reliable screening tools for detecting dementia and depression. Therefore the PAS-K could be widely and extensively used in psychogeriatric epidemiological research or clinical setting of primary screening for dementia and depression.

Concentrated solution was prepared for a sol-gel process of BaTiO₃. Barium hydroxide and Ti-isopropoxide were used as the raw materials with methanol and isopropanol as solvents. Dense ferroelectric polycrystalline BaTiO₃thin films with the perovskite structure were fabricated by spin coating of the prepared concentrated solution on a few substrates. From XRD investigation, it was confirmed that tetragonal phase of polycrystalline BaTiO₃powders are formed after heat treatment above 550℃ in air and grain-oriented BaTiO₃thin films are obtained by coating of 0.06M concentrated solution on the substrates. It was observed that surfaces of thin films deposited on the substrates by our methods were formed crack-free and uniformly. The thickness of thin film which depends the concentration of the solution was 400∼900Å for 1 time coating, which was confirmed by SEM analysis. Ceramics and thin films show dielectric constant of 4600 (at 1㎑) and capacitance 300∼800㎊ (at 1㎑) at room temperature, respectively.
