목적: 하지 방사통을 호소하는 환자의 수술 준비 과정에서 선택적 척추 신경근 차단술을 실시하고, 그 효과가 얼마나 오래 유지되는지를 알아 보고자 5년 이상 추시된 환자를 대상으로 분석하여 그 결과를 보고 하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2000년 1월에서 2000년 12월까지 하지 방사통으로 타 병원 혹은 본원에서 수술적 치료를 권유받은 환자 중 수술 준비 과정에서 진단 및 치료 목적으로 선택적 척추 신경근 차단술을 시행한 환자를 대상으로 하였으며, 이중 5년 이상 추시가 가능하였던 69예를 대상으로 하였다. 결과분석은 진료기록부와 전화 인터뷰를 통해 하였으며. 신경차단술 시행군과 수술을 시행한 군의 치료결과 분석은 Kim's criteria (김의 평가기준), VAS(Visual analog scale) score를 이용하였다. 결과: 연구 대상 환자 69예 중 37예에서는 차단술 후에 증상 호전이 없어 수술을 시행하였고, 32예에서는 신경차단술 만으로 증상호전 되었다. 젊은 사람(60세 미만)에서 보존적 요법보다는 수술을 하는 경향이 많았으며, 이환 기간이 길수록(6개월 이상) 신경근 차단술 보다는 수술하는 경우가 높았다. 차단술 만으로도 호전된 32예의 환자 추시 결과상 다른 치료 없이 증상 호전이 지속되었던 환자는 17예(24.6%)였고 증상이 재발하여 추가 치료를 필요로 한 환자는 15예이었다. 이중 4예는 수술적 치료를 시행하였다. 결론: 수술이 예정된 하지 방사통 환자를 대상으로 수술 준비 기간 동안에 신경근 차단술을 시행하여 그 중 일부에서는 장기 추시에서도 증상 호전이 지속 되었다. 따라서 신경차단술은 수술 전에 한번 시도해 볼 만한 방법 중의 하나로 사료된다. Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of a selective nerve root block (SNRB) in patients with sciatica before surgery through a more than 5 year follow up. Materials and Methods: Between January 2000 and December 2000, patients with sciatica, who were recommended to undergo surgery to diagnose and treat sciatica by other clinics or at our hospital, were selected to undergo SNRB before surgery. Among them, 69 patients were followed up for 5 years. The analysis was based on the patients' medical records and telephone interviews, and the treatment results in the SNRB group and operation group were analyzed using Kim's criteria and the Visual Analog Scale score. Results: Among the 69 patients, there was no improvement in symptoms in 37 patients after SNRB. Therefore, they underwent surgery. The symptoms of the remaining 32 patients were improved by SNRB. Overall, younger patients and those with a longer symptom duration required surgery. Conclusion: SNRB was performed on patients with sciatica who were scheduled to undergo surgery. Some patients showed improvement in their symptoms in the long term. Therefore, SNRB should be considered as a treatment option prior to surgery.

The objective of this study is to investigate the reorientation of hydrides with applied stress intensity factor, the peak temperature and the time when to apply the stress intensity factor in a Zr-2.5Nb pressure tube during its thermal cycle treatment. Cantilever beam (CB) specimens with a notch of 0.5 mm in depth made from the Zr-2.5Nb tube were subjected to electrolytic hydrogen charging to contain 60 ppm H and then to a thermal cycle involving heating to the peak temperature of either 310 or $380^{\circ}C$, holding there for 50 h and then cooling to the test temperature of $250^{\circ}C$. The stress intensity factor of either 6.13 or $18.4\;MPa\sqrt{m}$ was applied at the beginning of the thermal cycle, at the end of the hold at the peak temperatures and after cooling to the test temperature, respectively. The reorientation of hydrides in the Zr-2.5Nb tube was enhanced with the increased peak temperature and applied stress intensity factor. Furthermore, when the CB specimens were subjected to $18.4\;MPa\sqrt{m}$ from the beginning of the thermal cycle, the reoriented hydrides occurred almost all over the Zr-2.5Nb tube, surprisingly suppressing the growth of a DHC crack. In contrast, when the CB specimens were subjected to the stress intensity factor at the test temperature, little reorientation of hydrides was observed except the notch region, leading the Zr-2.5Nb to grow a large DHC crack. Based on the correlation between the reorientation of hydrides and the DHC crack growth, a governing factor for DHC is discussed along with the feasibility of the Kim's DHC model.

Kim, Jeong-Soo,Cho, Jeom-Deog,Choi, Hong-Soo,Lee, Soo-Heon,Choi, Gug-Seoun,Lee, Sang-Yong,Kim, Hye-Jeong,Yoon, Moo-Kyoung The Korean Society of Plant Pathology 2010 Plant Pathology Journal Vol.26 No.4

A tobamovirus, Ribgrass mosaic virus (RMV), was identified newly from chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. pekinensis) in Korea. Virus disease incidence of RMV on chinese cabbage was 37.9% in alpine area on August in 1993. RMV induced the symptoms of necrotic ring spots, necrotic streak on midrib and malformation. RMV, Ca1 and Ca3 isolate, could infect 35 species out of 45 plants including Chenopodium amaranticolor. Physical properties of RMV Ca1 isolate were very stable as 10.8 over for dilution end point, $95^{\circ}C$ for temperature inactivation point and 18 weeks for longevity in vitro. RMV had the soil transmission rate of 75.0% for the chinese cabbages, 'Chunhawang' and 'Seoul' cultivars. The purified virions of RMV had the typical ultraviolet absorption spectrum of maximum at 260 nm and minimum at 247 nm. RMV of Ca1 isolate was related serologically with antisera of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-Cym, TMV-O and Pepper mottle virus, but not related with antiserum of Odontoglossum ring spot virus. coat protein gene of RMV-Ca1, sized 473 nucleotides, encoded 158 amino acid residues. Nucleotide identity of RMV-Ca1 CP gene was 96.4% with RMV-Shanghai (GenBank accession No. of AF185272) from China and 96.0% with RMV-Impatiens (GenBank accession No. of AM040974) from Germany. Identity of amino acids between RMV-Ca1 and the two RMV isolates was 96.8%. Specific three primers were selected for rapid and easy genetic detection of RMV using Virion Captured (VC)/RT-PCR method.

<P>Herein, we demonstrate thermally rearranged polybenzoxazole-co-imide (TR-PBOI) electrospun nanocomposite membranes for membrane distillation and membrane crystallization applications. We seek to demonstrate that a synergistic combination of TR polymers, porous nanofibrous membranes, and particle coating improves the long-term stability while maintaining high porosity and water flux. The fabricated membranes exhibit an excellent water flux (80 kg m(-2) h(-1)) and NaCl rejection (499.99%) with steady performance over more than 186 hours. In addition, for the first time, controlling the heterogeneous nucleation phenomena in membrane crystallization was clearly demonstrated using TR membrane morphology.</P>

Kim, Dae Won,Hwang, In Koo,Lim, Soon Sung,Yoo, Ki-Yeon,Li, Hua,Kim, Young Sup,Kwon, Dae Young,Moon, Won Kuk,Kim, Dong-Woo,Won, Moo-Ho John Wiley Sons, Ltd. 2009 Phytotherapy research Vol.23 No.7

<P>Thee present study analysed the quantification of rutin in raw buckwheat extract (RBE) and germinated buckwheat extract (GBE) by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and examined changes in body weight, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and nitrotyrosine (a marker for peroxynitrite formation) immunoreactivity in aortic endothelial cells in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats after treatment with RBE and GBE for 5 weeks. In the HPLC study, RBE and GBE contained a mean content of rutin of 1.52 ± 0.21 and 2.92 ± 0.88 mg/g, respectively. In the 600 mg/kg GBE-treated group, SBP was lower than that in the 600 mg/kg RBE-treated group. The treatment with RBE and/or GBE significantly reduced oxidative damage in aortic endothelial cells by lowering nitrotyrosine immunoreactivity. These results suggest that GBE has an antihypertensive effect and may protect arterial endothelial cells from oxidative stress. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.</P>

( Moo-yong Rhee ),( Je Sang Kim ),( Chee Hae Kim ),( Ji-hyun Kim ),( Jung-ha Lee ),( Sun-woong Kim ),( Deuk-young Nah ),( Namyi Gu ),( Eun-joo Cho ),( Ki-chul Sung ),( Kyung-soon Hong ) 대한내과학회 2021 The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine Vol.36 No.5

Background/Aims: Ascertaining the prevalence of isolated nocturnal hypertension (INHT) in the general population and identifying the characteristics of patients with INHT may be important to determine patients who should receive 24- hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) measurements. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of INHT in the general population. Methods: Of 1,128 participants (aged 20 to 70 years), we analyzed 823 who had valid 24-hour ambulatory BP measurements and were not on antihypertensive drug treatment. Results: The prevalence of INHT in the study was 22.8%. Individuals with INHT had a higher office, 24-hour, and daytime and nighttime ambulatory systolic and diastolic BPs compared to individuals with sustained day-night normotension. INHT was more prevalent in individuals with masked hypertension (MH) than in those with sustained hypertension (59.8% vs. 15.6%, p < 0.001). Among individuals with INHT, 92.6% had MH. Among individuals with office BP-based prehypertension, 34.5% had both INHT and MH. The prevalence of INHT was highest in individuals with office BP-based prehypertension. INHT was an independent determinant of MH after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, diabetes, low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, 24-hour systolic and diastolic BP, systolic and diastolic BP dipping, and systolic and diastolic BP non-dipping. Conclusions: The present study showed that INHT is not uncommon and is a major determinant of MH. Our findings strongly suggest the use of 24-hour ambulatory BP measurement for individuals within the prehypertension range of office BP owing to the high prevalence of INHT and MH in this population.

Kim, Yon-Hwan,Subramanyam, Elango,Im, Jeong Hyuk,Huh, Kang Moo,Choi, Hye,Choi, Joon Sig,Lee, Yong-Kyu,Park, Sung-Woo American Scientific Publishers 2010 Journal of nanoscience and nanotechnology Vol.10 No.5

<P>A new polymer conjugate of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA), PEG-PCDA conjugate, was synthesized by coupling reaction between carboxyl group of PCDA and hydroxyl group of PEG. Luminescent CdSe/ZnS QDs were encapsulated in the polymer micelles of mixtures of PEG-PCDA and PCDA using solid dispersion method to prepare water-soluble and biocompatible QD micelles. Upon UV-irradiation, the core of QD micelles was further stabilized by intramicellar crosslinking between neighboring PCDA moieties. The polymer conjugate was characterized by 1H-NMR, FT-IR, and GPC measurements, and thereof QD micelles observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The QD micelles were spherical with diameters in the range of 30-190 nm. The encapsulated QDs in polymer micelles are water-soluble and have the high potential for applications in biomedical imaging and detection due to their good colloidal stability and biocompatible surface.</P>

Effects of seeding dates on dry matter yield and feed values of whole-crop barley cultivated in a paddy field

( Sang Moo Lee ),( Eun Joong Kim ) 한국축산학회 2019 한국축산학회지 Vol.61 No.5

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of seeding dates on the yield and feed value of whole-crop barley cultivated in paddy soil. The field experiment was conceived as a randomized block design performed in triplicate with seeding dates of Oct. 19 (T1 as treatment 1), Oct. 26 (T2 as treatment 2), Nov. 2 (T3 as treatment 3), Nov. 9 (T4 as treatment 4), and Nov. 16 (T5 as treatment 5) as treatments. The barley grown in all treatments was harvested on May 21 of the following year. Plant length, fresh yield, dry matter yield, and total digestible nutrient (TDN) yield were higher (p < 0.05) in barley with early seeding dates, whereas crude protein and ether extract were higher (p < 0.05) with late seeding dates. Crude fiber and neutral detergent fiber were highest in the T3 treatment and lowest in the T1 treatment. There was no significant difference between acid detergent fiber and TDN among the different seeding dates. Total mineral contents were higher in the order T1 > T2 > T3 > T4 > T5 (p < 0.05), whereas the total amino acid content increased significantly (p < 0.05) with a delay in seeding date. Free sugar contents (fructose, glucose, and sucrose) were higher with early seeding dates (p < 0.05). Collectively, the results obtained in this study indicate that it is favorable to seed soon after harvesting rice to increase dry matter and TDN yields and mineral and free sugar contents of whole-crop barley in the midlands of Korea.
