  • Purpose: To know the differences of the proton MR spectroscopic features of the liver between th patients with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and without GVHD (non-GVHD) after to marrow transplantation (BMT), and to evaluate the possibility to discriminate GVHD fro non-GVHD by analysis of the in vivo proton MR spectra. Method: We evaluated the in vivo proton MR spectra from the livers of 37 patients wh underwent BMT. Our series included 14 cases with GVHD and 23 without GVHD in the liver. Nineteen men and 18 women were included in our series. All cases of GVHD and 2 o non-GVHD were confirmed by liver biopsy and remaining of non-GVHD by evaluation clinical follow up. Proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) was performed at 1.5T GE Sign Horizon (GE Medical System, Milwaukee, USA) system using localized proton STEAM sequence and body coil in all cases with subjects were located in supine position. N respiratory interruption was required during the spectroscopic signal acquisition. Paramete using in MRS were: TR = over 3000ms, TE = 30ms, number of scans = 128, voxel size = ($2{\times}2{\times}2$)$cm^3$, and one NEX. We evaluated the spectra with an attention to the differences o patterns of the peaks between GVHD and non-GVHD groups. The ratio of peak area of peaks at 1.6-4.1ppm to lipid (0.9-1.6ppm) [P(1.6-4.1ppm)/P(0.9-1.6ppm)] was calculated in GVHD and non-GVHD group, and compared the results between these groups. We als evaluated the sensitivity and specificity for discriminating GVHD from non-GVHD by anal of 1H-MRS.

  • 김치에서 분리한 유산균 Lactobacillus(L.) plantarum 3 균주(strain No.49, No.61, No.75)의 ${\beta}-galactosidase$의 생성을 위한 최적 조건을 검토하고, 효소학적 특성을 조사하였다. 효소 ${\beta}-galactosidase$의 최적 생성 조건은 strain No. 49의 경우 탄소원을 dextrose대신에 lactose를, strain No. 75 균주는 galactose를 1.0% 함유한 MRS broth에서, 초기 pH를 6.5로 하여 $30^{\circ}C$에서 48시간 배양하였을 때로 판명되었다. Strain No. 61 균주의 경우는 lactose를 3.0% 함유한 MRS 배지의 초기 pH를 7.5로 하여 실온에서 48시간 배양하였을때가 최적생성조건이었다. 효소의 최적 활성 온도는 $60^{\circ}C,\;37^{\circ}C,\;50^{\circ}C$로 3균주 모두 L. plantarum임에도 불구하고 각각 다른 온도에서 최고 활성을 보였다. 특히, strain No. 61, No. 75는 반응 온도가 상승함에 따라 활성의 감소가 관찰된 반면 strain No. 49는 $60^{\circ}C$의 높은 온도에서 가장 높은 활성을 보여 높은 온도에서도 효소활성이 유지 되는 점은 주목할 만하였으며, 3균주 모두 $45^{\circ}C$까지 90% 이상의 안정성을 나타내었다. 한편 효소의 최적 pH는 3 균주 모두 pH 6.5이었으며, pH 6.0에서 효소활성이 가장 안정하였다.

  • Purpose: To investigate whether there are significant changes in regional brain metabolism in patients with Parkinson's disease after thalamotomy using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (lH MRS). Methods: Fifteen patients with Parkinson's disease of mean age 56.5 years (7 males and 8 females; mean age, 56.5 years) that have treated with levodopa were included. All patients with tremor experienced amelioration of their symptoms on the side contralateral to the thalamotomy. As a single-voxel technique, 1H MR spectra were obtained from the volume of interested regions in thalamus and primary motor cortex. Spectral parameters were: 20 ms TE, 2000 ms TR, 128 averages, 2500 Hz spectral width, and 2048 data points. Results: We found that NAA/Cho ratios showed generally low levels in thalamus in Parkinson's disease patients with clinical improvement following thalamotomy. Conclusions: 1H MRS may be a useful utility for the aid in better understanding the pathophy-siologic process in Parkinson's disease patients on the basis of the variation of NAA/Cho ratio. Acknowledgement: This study was supported by a grant of the Center for Functional and Metabolic Imaging Technology, Ministry of Health & Welfare, Republic of Korea (02-PJ3-PG6-EV07-0002).

  • 본 연구는 막걸리로부터 ${\gamma}$-amino butyric acid (GABA) 생성 유산균을 분리 및 동정하고 최적 GABA 생산조건을 확립하는데 그 목적이 있다. 막걸리로부터 64균주의 유산균은 MRS 배지에서 성장된 집락의 색과 모양의 특성에 따라 분리하였다. 분리균주의 GABA 생산은 1% MSG가 첨가된 MRS 액체배지에서 배양하여 TLC와 HPLC 방법에 의해 평가되었다. B-134 균주는 GABA생성을 위한 우수균주로 선발하였다. 16S rRNA 유전자 및 glutamate decarboxylase B (gadB) 유전자의 염기서열분석을 통하여, B-134 균주는 Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum B-134 균주로 명명하였다. GABA 생성을 위한 온도, pH, NaCl 및 MSG 농도를 달리하여 최적배양조건을 조사하였다. 그 결과 B-134 균주의 최적배양 조건은 온도 $37^{\circ}C$, pH 5.7, NaCl 농도 0% (w/v), 그리고 MSG 농도 3% (w/v)로 결정되었으며 본 조건에서 48시간 배양시 25 mM의 GABA를 생산하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 B-134 균주는 GABA함유 건강기능식품개발을 위한 유용한 균주로 판단된다.

  • This study evaluated the effects of culture conditions, including carbon and nitrogen sources, L-monosodium glutamate (MSG), and initial pH, on gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production by Lactobacillus brevis HYE1 isolated from kimchi, a Korean traditional fermented food. L. brevis HYE1 was screened by the production analysis of GABA and genetic analysis of the glutamate decarboxylase gene, resulting in 14.64 mM GABA after 48 h of cultivation in MRS medium containing 1% (w/v) MSG. In order to increase GABA production by L. brevis HYE1, the effects of carbon and nitrogen sources on GABA production were preliminarily investigated via one-factor-at-a-time optimization strategy. As the results, 2% maltose and 3% tryptone were determined to produce 17.93 mM GABA in modified MRS medium with 1% (w/v) MSG. In addition, the optimal MSG concentration and initial pH were determined to be 1% and 5.0, respectively, resulting in production of 18.97 mM GABA. Thereafter, response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to determine the optimal conditions of the above four factors. The results indicate that pH was the most significant factor for GABA production. The optimal culture conditions for maximum GABA production were also determined to be 2.14% (w/v) maltose, 4.01% (w/v) tryptone, 2.38% (w/v) MSG, and an initial pH of 4.74. In these conditions, GABA production by L. brevis HYE1 was predicted to be 21.44 mM using the RSM model. The experiment was performed under these optimized conditions, resulting in GABA production of 18.76 mM. These results show that the predicted and experimental values of GABA production are in good agreement.

  • Objectives : In order to evaluate the metabolic changes associated with pericontusional edematous area in mild head injury, proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1H-MRS) was performed in mild head injury patients (initial GCS score 13-15) with focal brain contusion. Methods : Seven head injury patients with initial GCS 13-15(3 males and 4 females : age range 15-65 years, mean age 33 years) have underwent 1H-MRS evaluations. The patients were examined within 7 days after injury(n=7) and 2 months after injury(n=5). The region of interest(ROI) was selected in the edematous area adjacent to traumatic brain contusion upon T2-weighted MR images and a corresponding region of the contralateral hemisphere (ROC, region of contralateral corresponding hemisphere) was examined as well. The metabolic ratios of NAA/Cr and lactate/Cr were compared between ROIs, ROCs and control values. Results : In initial NAA/Cr ratios, the values of ROIs were significantly lower than those of the controls(p=0.009), but there was no difference either between ROIs and ROCs(p=0.410) or between ROCs of patients and the control (p=0.199). In lactate/Cr ratios, the ROIs in all seven patients and the ROCs in two showed increased lactate signals. The lactate/Cr ratios of the ROIs were significantly elevated as compared to those of the ROCs(p=0.02) and the control(p=0.015). In two months follow-up, lactate signals were absent or significantly reduced(p=0.015). In no patients, clinical or radiological deterioration has been observed. Conclusion : Our 1H-MRS results demonstrate that there are significant ischemic changes in pericontusional edematous areas as indicated by elevated lactate signals in the patients with mild head injury. But there were no consistent neural loss or dysfunction in these area. There findings suggest that pericontusional edematous areas can be vulnerable to secondary brain insults even in the patients with mild head injury.
