<▼1><P><B>Significance</B></P><P>Leaf senescence is regulated in a complex manner, involving time-dependent interactions with developmental and environmental signals. Genetic screens have identified key regulators of senescence, particularly late-stage senescence regulators. Recently, time-course gene-expression and network analyses, mostly analyses of static networks, have predicted many senescence regulators. However, senescence is defined by time-evolving networks, involving the temporal transition of interactions among senescence regulators. Here, we present time-evolving networks of NAM/ATAF/CUC (NAC) transcription factors, central regulators of leaf senescence in <I>Arabidopsis</I>, via time-course gene-expression analysis of NACs in their mutants. These time-evolving networks revealed a unique regulatory module of NACs that controls the timely induction of senescence-promoting processes at a presenescent stage of leaf aging.</P></▼1><▼2><P>Senescence is controlled by time-evolving networks that describe the temporal transition of interactions among senescence regulators. Here, we present time-evolving networks for NAM/ATAF/CUC (NAC) transcription factors in <I>Arabidopsis</I> during leaf aging. The most evident characteristic of these time-dependent networks was a shift from positive to negative regulation among NACs at a presenescent stage. ANAC017, ANAC082, and ANAC090, referred to as a “NAC troika,” govern the positive-to-negative regulatory shift. Knockout of the NAC troika accelerated senescence and the induction of other <I>NAC</I>s, whereas overexpression of the NAC troika had the opposite effects. Transcriptome and molecular analyses revealed shared suppression of senescence-promoting processes by the NAC troika, including salicylic acid (SA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) responses, but with predominant regulation of SA and ROS responses by ANAC090 and ANAC017, respectively. Our time-evolving networks provide a unique regulatory module of presenescent repressors that direct the timely induction of senescence-promoting processes at the presenescent stage of leaf aging.</P></▼2>

보완대체의학은 건강증진과 질병예방을 위한 총체적인 접근법의 하나로 환자뿐 아니라 일반인들 사이에서도 이용률이 증가하고 있고, 교육에 있어서도 보완대체요법 관련 교과목을 의학이나 간호학의 정규 교과과정 내에 포함시키는 대학이 늘어남에 따라 미래의 건강관리 제공자인 간호학생들의 보완대체의학에 대한 인식이나 태도를 파악하는 것은 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 Q방법론을 이용하여 보완대체의학에 대한 간호학생의 반응을 유형화하고 구체적인 특성을 파악하고자 시도되었다. 보완대체의학에 대한 간호학생의 반응은 4개로 유형화되었으며, 각 유형은 실용적 확신형, 견제형, 가치 인정형, 제한적 수용형으로 명명하였다. 각 유형의 명명에서 볼 수 있듯이 간호학생들은 인식에서 약간씩은 차이가 있지만 보완대 체의학에 대해 비교적 긍정적인 태도를 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 간호학생들이 보완대체요법에 대해 긍정적인 태도를 보였음을 보고한 Kim (2004), Kim, Erlen, Kim 과 Sok (2006), Uzun과 Tan (2004)의 연구결과와 일치한다고 할 수 있다. 제1유형은 ‘실용적 확신형’으로 보완대체요법의 효과를 단순히 인정하기보다는 실용성에 초점을 맞춘 유형이다. 보완대체요법의 문제점으로 많이 지적되는 것 중의 하나가 사람마다 효과가 다르기 때문에 일률적으로 적용하기 어렵다는 것인데, 제1유형의 대상자들은 이를 오히려 실용적인 측면으로 인식하여, 보완대체요법의 효과는 사람마다 결과가 다르게 나타날 수 있기 때문에 어떤 치료법을 일률적으로 적용하기보다는 자신한테 맞는 보완대체요법을 찾아야 한다고 인식하는 것이다. 또한 제1유형의 대상자들은 보완대체요법에 대해 효과가 없거나 의미 없는 행위이며 의학적 치료를 방해하거나 효과를 믿을 수 없다는 데는 강하게 반대를 했다. 간호학생의 보완요법에 대한 태도를 조사한 Kim (2004)의 연구에서도 보완대체요법이 엉터리 치료법이라는 데에 대해 가장 부정적인 태도를 보임으로써 본 연구결과와 일치한다. 간호학생의 주관성을 조사한 Hwang (2004)의 연구에서는 간호학생의 인식이 세 가지로 유형화되었는데 ‘긍정적 인정형’으로 명명된 사람들은 보완대체요법이 건강의 유지와 증진에 도움이 되며, 면역력을 향상시키고 심리적 지지를 제공하고 몸을 보호하며 안위를 증진시키는 것으로 인식하고, 엉터리 치료법이고 환자의 치유에 방해가 되므로 사용을 피해야 하고 과학적인 근거를 설명할 수 없으므로 신뢰할 수 없다는 데대해서는 강한 반대의 의사를 표함으로써 본 연구에서 ‘실용적 확신형’으로 명명된 대상자들과 유사한 인식양상을 보였다. 본 연구에서의 ‘실용적 확신형’의 사람은 보완대체요법에 대해 쉽게 접근할 수 있고 여러 가지 효과를 한꺼번에 기대할 수 있다는 점에서 좀 더실용적인 면을 강조한 점이 차이라고 할 수 있다. 제2유형은 ‘견제형’으로 보완대체의학의 부작용에 대한 염려와 효과에 대한 정확한 작용기전의 뒷받침을 요구하는 유형으로, Hwang (2004)의 연구에서 보완대체요법은 체계적인 검증 후에 정통적인 치료와 병행해서 사용해야 효과가 있다고 하여 ‘객관적 수용형’으로 명명한 것과 매우 유사하다. 또한 간호사를 대상으로 한Son (2002)의 연구에서 보완대체요법을 현대의학을 보완해주는 치료법으로 고려하면서 과학적인 근거를 확립하는 일이 필요하다고 제시한 것과 일치한다. Ernst (2000)도 보완대체요법을 이용하는 대상자들은 보완대체요법의 안전성과 효율성에 대해서 알고자 하며, 보완대체요법에 대해 건강관리자와 개방적으로 의사소통할 때 안정성이 확립된다고 하여 본 연구의 ‘견제형’ 유형과 유사한 것을 볼 수 있다. ‘견제형’의 사람들은 보완대체요법에 대한 효과가 사람마다 다르게 나타나므로 보완대체요법을 무조건적으로 받아들이기 이전에 임상적인 효율성에 대한 정확한 근거와 과학적인 검증에 관한 많은 연구들이 이루어져야 할 것을 강조한 유형이다. 이러한 견해는 최근 의학이나 간호학 교육에서 근거중심의 행위를 강조하고 있는 것을 반영하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 제3유형은 ‘가치 인정형’으로 보완대체의학에 대해 과학적 신뢰를 갖고 있지는 않지만 보완대체요법의 건강증진에 대한 가치를 인정하는 유형이다. 의사를 대상으로 보완대체요법의 치료 효과에 대한 태도를 분석한 Jang 과 Park (2003)의 연구에서 62.2%는 ‘설명하기는 어렵지만 보완대체요법은 효과가 있다’고 하여 작용기전에 대한 이론적 근거는 부족하지만 치료효과에 대해서는 비교적 긍정적으로 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타나 본 연구 대상자의 ‘가치 인정형’과유사한 태도를 보였다. 또한 초등학교 보건교사를 대상으로 보완대체요법의 문제점에 대한 인식을 조사한 Kim, Kim과 Cho (2007)의 연구에서 40.5%가 ‘과학적인 검증의 부족으로 치료효과가 의심된다’고 지적하였지만 학교보건실무에서 보완대체요법의 적용가능성에 대한 질문에는 72.1%가 ‘가능하다’고 하였으며, 78%가 보완대체요법의 적용이유로 ‘증상완화, 치료보조의 효과’ 때문이라고 답하여 본 연구결과와 유사한 인식을 보였다. 또한 보완대체요법 교과목을 수강한 간호학생들에게 보완대체요법의 치료적 효과에 대해조사한 Kim (2005)의 연구에서도 ‘건강유지증진을 위해 일반 대중들도 보완대체요법을 많이 적용하고 있다’에 대해 5점 만점에 3.7점으로 응답하여 비교적 긍정적 태도를 보였다. 위의 결과들을 종합해 볼 때 보완대체요법이 체계적인 지식체로 인정하기엔 과학적 근거가 부족하지만 신체의 자연 치유력과 면역력을 증가시켜 건강증진에 영향을 미친다는 본 연구의 ‘가치 인정형’과 유사하다고 할 수있다. 제4유형은 ‘제한적 수용형’으로 보완대체의학이 건강증진에 도움이 되고 심리적 안정감을 주는 여러 가지 효과가 있는 반면 부작용이 있을 수 있고 사람마다 효과가 다르게 나타날 수 있으므로 작용기전에 대한 연구도 더 필요하다고 생각하는 유형으로 무조건적으로 수용하기보다는 제한적으로 수용하는 유형이다. 대학생을 대상으로 보완대체요법의 문제점에 대한 인식을 조사한 Gwon 등(2008)의 연구에서 ‘부작용을 예측할 수 없다’가 37.7%로 가장 높았고, 23.2%가 ‘비과학적이다’라고 응답함으로써 자신에게 맞는 보완대체요법을 찾아 효과를 볼 수는 있지만 부작용에 대한 우려, 효과에 대한 객관성 부족 및 작용기전에 대한 체계적 검증의 필요성을 언급한 본 연구에서의 ‘제한적 수용형’ 대상자와 유사한 인식을 보였다. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to grasp the subjectivity of the nursing students toward CAM and put the outcomes into use as basic facts and figures in developing and applying a curriculum associated with CAM. Methods: Q methodology was employed to explore the nursing students` subjectivity from their rank-order statements. For the Q population, individual in-depth interviews and literature research were conducted. Finally, 30 participants completed 40 Q statements. The data were analyzed using the QUANL software package. Results: The current survey that probed into the subjectivity of the nursing students relative to CAM abstracted four categories, namely, practical and convinced type, keep-under-control/wait-and-see type, merit acknowledging type and limitedly accepting type. Conclusion: It is recommended that various educational programs should be developed to shift the awareness of CAM on the part of the nursing students, based on the findings set forth in the current study.

Background: Most cases of Graves' disease have been treated by antithyroid drugs in Korea. The major drawbacks of antithyroid drugs are the relative high rate of relapse and the inconvinience of long term therapy. Measurement of TBII and TRH stimulation test have been considered as the most reliable tests predicting relapse, but the predictive power is not high enough to use in clinical situation. This study was performed to find good prognostic indicators in Graves' disease patients after the discontinuation of antithyroid drug therapy. Subjects and methods : We restrospectively evaluated 96 patients with Graves' disease who showed normal TRH test at the end of antithyroid drug therapy and were followed for more than one year. Serum T3, T4, T3/T4 ratio, TBII, Anti-TPO Ab and TGAb levels were measured at the time of diagnosis and at the end of therapy. Two to three months after withdrawal of antithyroid medication, serum TSH and free T3 responses to TRH were examined. These parameters were compared between the relapse group and the remission group. Results : Among the 96 patients, 22 patients(22.9%) relapsed(Group Ⅱ) and 74 patients(77.1%) remained in remmision(Group Ⅰ). No significant difference was observed between the relapse and the remission group in clinical parameters, serum T3, T4, TSH, T3/T4 ratio, TBⅡ and Anti-TPO Ab determined before and after treatment. Serum TSH and free T3 levels measured after TRH stimulation were also similar in both groups. Serum TGAb levels determined at the end of treatment were significantly higher in the remission group(p<0.05). Relapse following the discontinuation of therapy occured within 24 months in 72.7% of the relapsed cases. After 24 months, relapse rate was reduced significantly. Conclusion : These results suggest that high serum TGAb levels could be a favorable prognostic indicator for the long term remission of Graves' disease treated with antithyroid drugs, and may suggest that Hashimoto's thyroiditis is combined with Graves' disease in those patients.

김성용,남충현,주종우,채만규,백무준,이문수,김형철,안현철,김홍수,김창진,김창호 순천향의학연구소 2001 Journal of Soonchunhyang Medical Science Vol.7 No.1

Purpose: Angiogenesis is important for the proliferation and the metastasis of solid tumors. The growth of a solid tumor is widely recognized to depend on the process of neovascularrozation. Without angiogenesis, tumors cease to grow beyond even a few milimeters in diameter. It has been shown that tumor vascular density is an independent prognostic marker in several types of human tumors and is known to correlate with poor prognosis. To date, many angiogenic factors have been identified, such as transforming growth factor-α(TGF-α), transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β), fibroblast growth factor family(FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), platelet derived endothelial cell growth factor(PD-ECGF), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), and angiogenin. Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is the second most common tumor in Korean males and is known as a typical hypervascular tumor with frequent portal vein invastion. The authors identified the expreesion of VEGF, TGF-β1, and b-FGF in HCC specimens and evaluated the relationship between these growth factors and the clinicopathologic characteristics of HCC. Method: We reviewed the medical records of 30 patients who were diagnosed as hepatocellular carinoma treated with hepatic resection between January 1994 and December 1998 in Soonchunhyang University Chunan Hospital. The selection of the cases was decided according to the condition of paraffin block fixation. The prognostic factors such as age, sex, tumor size, concentration of serum α-fetoprotein, presence of liver cirrhosis, presence of tumor emboli in portal vein, TMN stage, amount of transfusion during the operation, hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection, and Edmonson-Steiner(E-S) grade were investigated. Relationship between the prognostic factors and the immunopathologic expression of the TGF-β1, b-FGF, and VEGF was examined. Result: Thirty patients (24 males, 6 females) were included in the current study. The patient's mean age was 50.6 years and the age ranged from 36 to 65 years. The mean size of the tumor was found to be 5.2cm. All the patients were follewed up for 7 to 63 months. Child's classification A patients were 23(76.7%)cases, B patients were 7(23.3%)cases, and C was none. Immunohistochemical staining of HCC tumor mass in VEGF expression patients were 17(56.7%), b-FGF expression patients were 10(33.3%), and TGF-β1 expression patients were 10(33.3%). VEGF expression or more than one positive expression among the three factors correlated with tumor size and the stage of HCC but did not correlated with other clinicopathological characteristics. TGF-β1 and b-FGF did not correlate with any clinicopathological characteristics. Conclusion: The results suggest that the expression of VEGF or more than one positive expression among the three factors in HCC cells may be a significant prognostic factor of HCC.

The authors studied the NK cell phenotype and T cell subsets in 36 patients with bronchogenic carcinoma and 11 healthy controls. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The percentage of lymphocyte and total lymphocyte counts significantly decreased in cancer patients compared to normal control(p<0.05). 2. The OKT4^+(%) was significantly decreased in patients according to celltype (especially squamous cell cancer, adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma) and extended stage(stageⅢ) (p<0.05), but no change in limited stage(stage Ⅰ&Ⅱ). 3. The OKT8^+(%) and OKT4^+ ratio were not significantly changed in cancer patient. 4. According to cell type, there was no significant difference of NK cell phenotype between cancer patients and controls. 5. According to stage, there was no significant difference of NK cell phenotype between cancer patients and controls. 6. There was no significant difference of NK cell phenotype in cancer patients compared to normal controls. We concluded that NK cell phenotype had no significant difference between cancer patients and healthy controls. Further studies (including NK cell activity or other function tests of lymphocyte) are needed to analyze the roles of immunologic responses in patients with lung cancer.

Effects of Phenytoin and Diazepam on the Seizure Activity in the Cortical Dysplasia Animal Models

Kim, Si-Hyung,Choi, In-Sun,Cho, Jin-Hwa,Park, Eun-Ju,Jang, Il-Sung,Choi, Byung-Ju,Kim, Hyun-Jung,Kim, Young-Jin,Nam, Soon-Hyeun The Korean Academy of Oral Biology 2006 International Journal of Oral Biology Vol.31 No.2

Dysplasia-associated seizure disorders are markedly resistant to pharmacological intervention. Relatively little research has been conducted studying the effects of antiepileptic drugs(AEDs) on seizure activity in a rat model of dysplasia. We have used rats exposed to methylazoxymethanol acetate(MAM) in utero, an animal model featuring nodular heterotopia, to investigate the effects of AEDs in the dysplastic brain. Pilocarpine was used to induce acute seizure in MAM-exposed and age-matched vehicle-injucted control animals. Field potential recordings were used to monitor amplitude and numbers population spikes, and paired pulse inhibition in response to stimulation of commissural pathway. Two commonly used AEDs were tested: diazepam 5, 2.5mg/kg;phenytoin 40, 60mg/kg. Diazepam(DZP) and phenytoin(PHT) reduced the amplitude of population spike in control and MAM-exposed rats. However, the amplitude of population spike was nearly eliminated in control rats as compared to the MAM-exposed rats. Pharmaco-resistance was tested by measuring seizure latencies in awake rats after pilocarpine administration(320mg/kg, i.p.) with and without pretreatment with AEDs. Pre-treatment with PHT 60 mg prolonged seizure latency in control rats, but not in MAM-exposed animals. The main findings of this study are that acute seizures initiated in MAM-exposed rats are relatively resistant to standard AEDs assessed in vivo. These data suggest that animal model with cortical dysplasia can be used to screen the effects of potential AEDs.

Ju‑Won Park,Howook Choi,Hwangsun Kim,Simoon Sung,Hye‑Jin Jeong,Il Kim,Jaeseok Gong,Sung‑Tae Hong,Heung Nam Han 대한금속·재료학회 2021 METALS AND MATERIALS International Vol.27 No.5

The effect of high electric current density on the sintering of Ag wires manufactured by screen printing is evaluated throughelectrical resistivity analysis and microstructure observation. Different forms (continuous and pulsed) of electric currentwith different current densities are applied to the specimens. Conventional heat treatment is also performed as a controlgroup to examine the athermal effect of electropulsing treatment. Compared to the conventional heat treatment, the resistivityis reduced more under the electropulsing treatment with continuous current for the same temperature and treatment time.Also, the process time of electropulsing treatment can be reduced by applying a pulse form of high density current insteadof continuous current without losing the benefit of enhanced reduction of resistivity. The microstructural observationsobtained from high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscope and a digital precession instrumentclearly show that necking connecting the crystals is formed more firmly under electric current. In addition, the temperaturechange of Ag wire and substrate is calculated according to the change of the resistivity when the electric current is appliedto confirm the reliability.

쌍태아에서 제 1태아의 분만 후 제 2태아의 지연분만 : 중례보고

김주환,서민정,유희정,노권일,조대현,박정규,이정헌,조성남,손영수 朝鮮大學校 附設 醫學硏究所 2005 The Medical Journal of Chosun University Vol.30 No.3

With the widespread use of fertility medications and techniques of in vitro fertilization, multiple gestation has become epidemic in modern obstetric practice. Delivery of the initial fetus in a multiple gestation usually is followed by delivery of the subsequent fetus or fetuses shortly thereafter. However in rare circumstances, the delivery is delayed for days due to disappearance of uterine contraction after delivery of the first fetus. When uterine activity ceases after the delivery of the first neonate, a policy of nonintervention may be considered in case of an immature or very premature delivery, in order to achieve a gestational age for the remaining fetus(es) more compatible with neonatal survival. We report a case of twin gestation with prolongation of the delivery interval between the twins for 46 days.
