Gyeongju, which was the central city of the ancient civilization at Silla Kingdom, has various kinds of stone cultural properties. It is significantly important to preserve historical sources of Korea. However, recent air quality data measured in Gyeongju did not show good air quality level. In order to investigate variation of the concentration of the air pollutants with meteorological condition, an air quality monitoring and an aerosol sampling were conducted during the intensive monitoring period in Gyeongju. Impacts of the meteorological factors on the air pollutants were also analyzed based on the air mass pathway categories using HYSPLIT model and the local wind patterns using MM5 model. The prevailing air mass pathways were classified into four categories as following; category Ⅰ affected by easterly marine aerosols, category Ⅱ affected by northwesterly continental aerosols, category Ⅲ affected by southwesterly continental aerosols, and category Ⅳ affected by northerly continental aerosols. The concentrations of the air quality standards were relatively lower during the fall intensive monitoring period. At that time, the easterly marine air mass pattern was dominated. The seasonal average mass concentration of PM<SUB>10,Opt</SUB>, which optically measured at the monitoring site, was the highest value of 77.6±28.3 ㎍ m?³ during the spring intensive monitoring period but the lowest value of 20.1±5.3 ㎍ m?³ during the fall intensive monitoring period. The concentrations of SO₂ and CO were relatively higher when the air mass came from the northwestern continent or the northern continent. The concentrations of SO₄²? and NO₃? - increased under the northwesterly continental condition. It was estimated that the acidic aerosols were dominated in the atmosphere of Gyeongju when the air mass came from the continental regions.

The study was conducted to evaluate the difference of life style, subjective symptoms and health cognition depending on the Sasang Constitution in the industrial workers. The results were as follows ; Constitutional distribution among exposed group were Tae-eum In(38.4%), So-eum In(35.2%), and So-yang In(26.4%) and it was turned out that Tae-eum In took a higher portion of Sasang constitution than other constitutions in technician workers. 'Exercise' and 'Obesity' were found most in Tae-eum In, In So-eum In there were many 'Normal' weight and 'Having digestive disorders' were found most in So-eum In. There were no significant difference in the health cognition among the constitutions. The closer to 'normal' weight, the higher prevalence in 'having' concern about health condition and the more 'normal' condition in sleeping, the higher prevalence of 'having' self-confident in present health.

〈Objective〉 This study were carried out to study to assess the relationship between job characteristics, general characteristics, health behaviors, and psychosocial distress and suggested the preventive oriental medicine approaches in occupational health area. 〈Methods〉 We measured job characteristics(job demand, job control, jop insecurity) by The Karasek's Job Content Questionnaire, health behaviors(smoking, drinking, exercise, coffee), general characteristics at work by a self-administered questionnaire. Psycho social distress was measured by PWI(Psychosocial Well-being Index), a 18-item self- administered instrument. 370 data for research were collected through the process of oriental health examination with questionnaire in workplace. Statistical analysis was done by t test, oneway ANOVA, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis with SPSSWIN (version 10.0) 〈Results〉 Among the 152 respondents, the prevalence of high job strain was 27%(41 persons). The Odds ratio of high job strain was 3.11(95 2.12~4.11), and those of passive group and active group were 2.01(95 0.83~2.76) and 1.80(95 0.83~2.76), respectively. Our results supported the association between psychosocial distress and job strain. 〈Conclusion〉 The odds ratio of high strain isolated group(high strain group+low social support) was 3.59(95 2.05 5.13), but the odds ratio of high strain collective group was 1.32(95 0.23 2.41). Social support at work was modifing factor of the association between psycho social distress and job strain. Therefore we reviewed the evidence that economic depression was associated with psycho social distress in this study, and that the strength of the social support was important in maintain health.

오양효,윤소겸,공은진,김민정,김영부,박영민 대한감염학회 1995 감염 Vol.27 No.5

목 적 : 이미 보고되어 있는 파아지들의 경우, 일반적인 형태, 숙주역과 몇 가지의 성질만 연구되어 있으므로 보다 상세한 특성에 대한 연구가 필요한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 해양으로부터 분리한 V. vulnificus를 숙주균으로 하여 투명한 용균반을 형성하는 파아지를 분리해 낸 다음, 분리된 V. vulnificus 파아지의 특징을 연구하고자하였다. 방 법 : V. vulnificus 를 숙주균으로 하여 해산물로부터, 숙주균에 특이적인 파아지를 분리하고, 농축 정제과정을 거쳐 파이지입자를 순수분리하였다. 파아지의 형태를 전자현미경으로 관찰하였으며, 분리된 파아지의 숙주특이성을 조사하고, 파아지 입자의 물리적 특성을 검토하기 위해, 온도 안정성시험, pH 안정성 시험을 실시하였다. 파아지의 흡착율, 파아지의 흡착율에 미치는 무기염 이온의 영향, 온도의 영향과 pH의 영향을 관찰하였다. 파이지의 일단증식곡선을 구하였으며 토끼 면역과 교차 중화 시험, 파아지 핵산의 특성, 구조단백질의 특성을 조사하였다. 결 과 : 전자현미경관찰결과 본 연구에서 분리한 파아지는 두부와 미부를 가지는 형태로 미부에 꼬리판과 꼬리섬유를 가지고 있었다. 파아지의 물리적성질시험 결과 파아지는 50℃이하의 온도에서 안정하였으며 중성pH영역에서 안정하고 산성과 알칼리 영역에서는 활성을 잃었으며 자외선에는 35초 조사에 50% 정도 불활성화 되었다. 파아지는 약 65%의 흡착율을 나타내었으며 흡착에 ??, ??을 요구하였다. 파아지입자가 안정한 온도와 pH영역에서는 흡착에 영향을 받지 않았으며 일단증식시험 결과 108 PHU/ml의 파아지 입자를 생산하였다. 정제한 파아지를 항원으로 하여 토끼에 면역한 항혈청에 파아지가 중화되었으며 파아지 핵산은 이중나선 DNA였다. 파아지의 구조단백질은 SDS-PAGE polyacrylamide gel 전기영동 결과 2개의 밴드를 나타내었다. 그리고 Western blotting 결과 파아지의 전기영동 결과와 동일한 위치의 밴드에서 항원성을 나타내었다. 결 론 : 인체병원균으로 중요성이 인식되고 있는 V. vulnificus는 해산물의 위생과 국민건강에 직접적인 영향을 미칠 수 있는 세균으로 이에 대한 활발한 연구가 요구되는 실정이다. 파아지의 분리율은 숙주균의 분리율에 의존하므로 숙주균의 해수내 분포에 영향을 미친다고 추측되며, 파아지는 숙주균에 감염되어 숙주균을 용균시키므로 숙주균의 개체수를 조절하여 생태학적 측면에서 중요한 기능을 담당하는 것으로 여겨진다. Background : Vibrio vulnificus causes severe wound infection and life-threatening septicemia. In this study we present the characteristics of V. vulnificus bacteriophage and the basis of pathogenicity study of V. vulnificus related on bacteriophage. Methods : We isolated bacteriophage for V.vulnificus from marine products and examined its physiological and biochemical characteristics, and the ultrastructure by electron microscopy (TEM,SEM). And also, we investigated host ranges, temperature stability, pH stability, inactivation by UV irradiation, DNA isolation and analysis and structural protein analysis of the bacteriophage. Results : The adsorption rate of bacteriophage was above 80% and had a little influence at 10-45℃ and pH5-10. Isolated bacteriophage was used to produce antiserum against rabbits and its antigenicity was investigated by cross-neutralization. Western blot analysis showed the capsid protein of bacteriophage had antigenicity. The bacteriophage had double-strand DNA. In restriction analysis, the phage DNA was digested HinfI. The structural protein of phage showed two bands of 34.7kDa and 18.4kDa on SDS-PAGE. Conclusion : The specificity of bacteriophage may be due to the specific binding site that be possessed by host strain surface. Therefore, it seems that virulent bacteriophage controls the number of host strain and then takes a role on natural marine environment.

ROS-dependent antitumor effects of Coptidis Rhizoma on human hepatocellular carcinoma cells and xenografts

So Yung Kim,Seon Yeong Ji,Min Yeong Kim,Hyun Hwangbo,Hyesook Lee,Su Hyun Hong,Cheol Park,Gi-Young Kim,Yung Hyun Choi 한국실험동물학회 2021 한국실험동물학회 학술발표대회 논문집 Vol.2021 No.7

Coptidis Rhizoma is the dried rhizome from the Coptis chinensis Franch. that has been shown to have a number of beneficial pharmacological properties including antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and anti-cancer effects. However, the anti-cancer effects of Coptidis Rhizoma on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the anti-cancer properties of Coptidis Rhizoma ethanol extract (CR) in HCC Hep3B cells and in a xenograft mouse model. Our results showed that the CR significantly inhibited cell growth and induced apoptosis in Hep3B cells through increased expression of Bcl- 2 associated x-protein (Bax) and cleavage of poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP), reduced expression of Bcl-2, and activated caspases. CR also increased the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which caused a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP, ΔΨm) and activation of the mitochondria-mediated intrinsic apoptosis pathway. Moreover, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a ROS inhibitor, markedly blocked the effects of CR on apoptotic pathways. CR also induced the expression of light chain 3 (LC3)-I/II, a key autophagy regulator, whereas CR-mediated autophagy was significantly suppressed by NAC. In addition, pre-treatment with NAC perfectly attenuated the inhibition of cell invasion and migration of CR-stimulated Hep3B cells. Furthermore, oral administration of CR suppressed Hep3B tumor growth in xenograft mice without toxicity, alterations to body weight, or changes in hematological and biochemical profiles. Taken together, our findings suggest that CR has anti-tumor effects that result from ROS generation, and may be a potential pharmacological intervention for HCC.

Purpose: This study focused on devising a novel method to objectify and automate the manual method of iris and vessel painting for use in ocular prosthesis. Methods: Standard image data were created to match the iris color, iris pattern, scleral color, vessel color, and vessel density of the patient’s healthy eye. To apply the colors of the standardized dataset, we developed a color diagnostics tool. Thereafter, the image data were directly printed on the scleral surface using the sublimation transfer technique. Results: Using the eye color diagnostic tool to examine the iris offers several advantages, including convenient measurement, objective color identification, and creation of personalized graphic data. It also reduces the errors of remanufacturing due to incorrect measurement of eye color. The use of customized image dataset of the eye may help maintain the consistency of production even in cases of damaged ocular prosthesis. Conclusions: The use of eye color diagnostic tool and sublimation transfer printing of the iris and vessel images reduce the time and effort required and therefore allows for more efficient production of ocular prosthesis.

박소영(So-Yung Park),김연민(Yun-Min Kim),이현복(Hyun-Bok Lee),조남수(Nam-Soo Cho),윤준(Joon Yoon) 대한방사선과학회(구 대한방사선기술학회) 2013 방사선기술과학 Vol.36 No.2

대한갑상선학회는 0.5 cm 보다 큰 경우에만 미세침흡인술을 권고하고 있으나, 본원에서는 0.5 cm 이하의 결절에서도 갑상선 유두암이 많이 발견되고 있다. 이 연구는 건강의학센터에서 미세침흡인술을 시행하여 갑상선 유두암으로 확진된 결절을 토대로 크기에 따른 초음파 특징을 분류해 보고자 한다. 결절의 크기를 장경 0.5cm 이하, 0.5∼1 cm, 1 cm 보다 큰 결절의 세 그룹으로 나누어 각각에서의 악성을 시사하는 초음파 소견에 차이가 있는지 알아보았다. 288개의 악성결절 중 0.5 cm 이하 크기는 21.5 % (62/288), 0.5∼1 cm 54.9 %(158/288), 1 cm 보다 큰 결절은 23.6 % (68/288)로 나타났다. 앞뒤가 긴모양의 특징은 0.5 cm 이하 그룹 90.3% (56/62), 1 cm 보다 큰 그룹 48.5 % (33/68)로 나타나 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.001). 0.5 cm 이하 그룹에서 well defined smooth 결절은 1예도 없었으며, 침상(spiculated) 혹은 불규칙한 경계는 크기가 클수록 빈도가 증가하였다(p=0.024). 내부에코는 0.5 cm 이하 그룹에서 고에코(hyperechogenicity)와 동에코(isoechogenicity)의 결절은 1예도 없었으며, 각 그룹별로 현저한 저에코(marked hypoechogenicity)보다 저에코(hypoechogenicity)가 많았다(p=0.034). 미세 혹은 거대석회화는 0.5 cm 이하에서 77.4 % (48/62)가 관찰되지 않았으며, 0.5 cm 이하 그룹부터 21.0 % (13/62), 48.1 % (76/158), 64.7 % (44/68)로 결절 크기가 증가할수록 관찰빈도가 증가하였다(p<0.001). 초음파에서 0.5 cm 이하의 결절은 앞뒤가 긴 모양과 침상 혹은 불규칙한 경계, 불분명한 경계를 보였고, 저에코 혹은 현저한 저에코가 많았다. 그러나 미세 혹은 거대석회화는 없는 것이 특징적이었다. 따라서 0.5 cm 이하의 작은 크기의 결절에서 악성을 시사하는 초음파적 특징은 미세침흡인술이나 추적검사에 대한 유용한 지침을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. The Korean Thyroid Association recommends fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) for nodules more than 0.5 cm in diameter. But nodules, smaller than 0.5 cm have been found in papillary carcinomas of the thyroid (PTC) at the health promotion center at SMC. We wanted to evaluate the ultrasonographic findings according to size of nodule in proven PTCs by FNAB, especially less than 0.5 cm. All nodules were classified into three groups by their longest diameter : less than 0.5 cm, more than 0.5 cm but less than 1 cm, and more than 1 cm. Sonographic findings suggesting malignancy were analyzed according to their size groups. Of 288 malignant nodules, 21.5 % (62/288) were less than 0.5 cm , 54.9 % (158/288) were more than 0.5 cm but less than 1 cm, 23.6 % (68/288) exceeded 1 cm. A taller-than-wide shape was observed in 90.3 % (56/62) of nodules less than 0.5 cm, and 48.5 % (33/68) of nodules exceeding 1 cm (p<0.001). There were no well-defined smooth nodules among nodules less than 0.5 cm, and spiculated or irregular margin nodules increased as the size increased (p=0.024). Nodules of size less than 0.5 cm did not showed hyper or isoechogenicity. Hypoechogenicity was greater than the marked hypoechogenicity in each group (p=0.034). Micro- or macro-calcifications were not founded in 77.4 % (48/62) of the nodule group sized less than 0.5 cm. From the small size of the group, micro- or macrocalcifications were observed 21.0 % (13/62), 48.1 % (76/158), 64.7 % (44/68), so the number of nodules containing micro- or macro-calcification increased as size increased (p<0.001). PTCs less than 0.5 cm in size on ultrasonography had taller than-wide shape, spiculated or irregular and ill-defined margins, and exhibited hypo and markedly hypoechogenicity, but microor macro-calcifications were not common. These ultrasonographic features of nodules less than 0.5 cm can be useful in reporting and guiding FNABs or follow-up exams.
