1,3-Dichloro-2-propanol (1,3-DCP) is known as chloride chemicals and causes severe hepatotoxic agent. The Ito cells and Kupffer's cells of the liver in the 5 old F344 Rats were exposed to 1,3-DCP gas chamber for 6 hours/ a day, 5 days/ a week, and 13 weeks, in the 0, 5, 20, 80 ppm, respectively. After then the body weights, liver weights, and relative liver weight to body weight were measured, and the hepatic tissues were prepared by the routine and Immunostain method, and observed by the LM, and EM. In the results, there were severe body weight decrease (p<0.05) in the 80 ppm of the male and female rats. The relative liver weights to the body weight were increased relate with exposed 1,3-DCP concentration (P<0.001). Inflammatory cells, infiltration was observed at the perivascular area in the 20 ppm exposed group, and bilirubin pigment infiltration, bile duct hyperplasia, inflammation hepatocytic necrosis, fibrosis were observed in the 80 ppm exposure group. In the 80 ppm exposure group, disarrangement of the endothelial cells, erythrocytes and hepatic cell fragment in the Disse space and numerous migration macrophages were observed in the necrotic area by EM observation. In the immunostained hepatic tissues positive stained ED1 cells were extremely increased (P<0.05) in central vein area, but ED2 was weakly positive immunostained in the 80 ppm exposed group. Immunostained desmin was observed in the Ito cell. It was no difference in the low and medium exposed group but it was typical increase in the necrotic area. In conclusion, These results suggest that NOAEL of 1,3-DCP may be 5 ppm in rats and the Immunostained of desmin, ED1 and ED2 positive cells activated in the inflammatory liver were related to the exposure volume and density. The increase of the Ito cells were related to the severe phagocytosis of the Kupffer's cells.

Purpose: This study was done to compare the rates of hemolysis and repeated sampling in blood samples obtained by a syringe needle versus a vacuum tube needle. Methods: A randomized, prospective study was used to evaluate the differences between the two blood sampling methods. The study group consisted of patients seen in the emergency department (ED) for blood sampling to determine electrolyte level. ED patients were randomly assigned to either the syringe group or the vacuum tube group. All blood samples were collected by experienced ED nurses and hemolysis was determined by experienced laboratory technologists. Data were analyzed using Fisher's exact test and binary logistic regression. Results: One hundred forty-five valid samples were collected (74 in the syringe group versus 71 in the vacuum tube group). 5 of 74 (6.8%) blood samples in the syringe group and 8 of 71 (11.3%) in the vacuum tube group hemolyzed. Repeated blood sampling occurred for 2 of 74 (2.7%) and 3 of 71 (4.2%) in each group respectively. There were no significant differences in rates of hemolysis and repeated sampling between two groups (B=1.97, p=.204; B=2.36, p=.345). Conclusion: Venipuncture with syringe needles can be recommended for ED nurses to obtain blood samples.

1. Benomyl은 버섯류(類)의 균사생장(菌絲生長)을 억제(抑制)하였는데 $ED_{50}$은 Pleurotus spp. 25ppm, Agaricus bisporus 50ppm, Flammulina velutipes 200ppm으로서 Pleurotus spp.가 benomyl에 대하여 감수성(感受性)이 가장 높았다. 2. Benomyl 함유배지(含有培地)에서 계대배양(繼代培養)할 때 5세대(世代) 및 10세대(世代)에는 1세대(世代)보다 균사생장(菌絲生長)이 증가(增加)하였고 생장증가율(生長增加率)은 명(各) 버섯균(菌)의 benomyl $ED_{50}$농도(濃度)에서 가장 높았다. 3. Benomyl 처리(處理) 배지(培地)에서의 계대별(繼代別) 균사생장(菌絲生長)은 균(菌)의 종류(種類)에 따라 달라서 P. florida는 5세대(世代), Agricus bisporus는 7대(代)까지는 균사생장(菌絲生長)이 증가(增加)하다가 그후 감소(減少)하는 경향(傾向)이었다. 4. Benomyl의 계속처리(繼續處理)는 mutant sector의 발생(發生)을 유기(誘起)하였는데 sector의 출현(出現)은 benomyl의 처리농도(處理濃度)가 낮을때 빨랐으며 P. ostreatus가 P. florida 보다 빨랐다. 5. Benomyl에 의해 유기(誘起)된 mutant sector는 약제(藥劑)에 계속처리(繼續處理)된 모(母) colony 보다 균사생장(菌絲生長)이 빨랐으나 benomyl에 대한 저항성(抵抗性)에는 차이(差異)가 없었다. benomyl란 함유배지(含有培地)에서 계대배양시(繼代培養時) 정상(正常) colony에서 보인 균사생장(菌絲生長)의 증가(增加)는 약제저항성(藥劑抵抗性)에 기인(起因)하는 것이었다.

Purpose: We performed this study to determine how the emergency trauma team affects the treatment of patients with multiple severe trauma and to discuss the effect and the direction of the emergency trauma team's management. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 518 patients who visited our emergency department with severe trauma from August 2006 to July 2008. We divided the severe trauma patients into 2 groups : patients before and after trauma team management (Group 1 and Group 2). Then, we compared demographic characteristics, mechanisms of injury, and treatment outcomes (lengths of stay in the ED, admission ratio, and in-hospital mortality) between the 2 groups. In the same way, patients with multiple severe trauma were divided into 2 groups, that are patients before and after trauma team management (Group 3 and Group 4) and analyzed. Results: There was no significant difference, except mean age, between groups 1 and 2. In group 4 patients, compared to group 3 patients, the lengths of stay in the ED were lower (p value < 0.001), and the admission ratio were higher (p value = 0.017), but there was no significant difference in the in-hospital mortality between the groups 3 and 4. Conclusion: When patients with multiple severe trauma visit the ED, the emergency trauma team' management can decrease the lengths of stay in the ED and increase the admission ratio, but does not produce a decrease in the in-hospital mortality rate. Further investigations of emergency trauma team management are needed to improve treatment outcomes for patients with multiple severe trauma.

Mutant rice cv. Goami2 (G2) and Baegjinjoo (BJJ) derived from a high-quality japonica rice cv. Ilpumbyeo (IP) were extruded under different feed moisture (20 and 30%) and barrel temperature (90, 110, and $130^{\circ}C$). Increasing feed moisture at fixed barrel temperature increased extrudate density (ED) in IP and BJJ. Whereas, G2 showed a varied ED depending on extrusion conditions; increasing barrel temperature decreased the ED of G2 extrudate with low feed moisture, but increased with high moisture. Results indicated a positive barrcl temperature effect on volume expansion in IP and G2, but a negative effect on 811, probably due to shrinkage of expanded products containing low-amylose contents. A significant increase of water absorption was found in G2 and BJJ extruded flour, while an increase of water solubility in those from IP. Non-digestible carbohydrates measured by total dietary fiber (TDF) indicated that extrusion increased slightly TDF in IP and BJJ extrudates, but decreased in G2 products, which might be variety-dependent.

Development of mouse fetus brains can be defined morphologically and functionally by three developmental stages, embryo day (ED) 16, postnatal stage one week and eight weeks. These defined stages of brain development may be closely associated with differential gene expression rates due to limited cellular resources such as energy, space, and free water. Complex patterns of expressed genes and proteins during brain development suggests the changes in relative concentrations of proteins rather than the increase in numbers of new gene products. This study was designed to evaluate early protein expression pattern in mouse fetus brain. The mouse brain proteome of fetus at ED 15.5, and 19.5 was obtained using 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (DE). Analysis of the 2-DE gels in pH 3-10 range revealed the presence of 15 differentially expressed spots, of which 11 spots were identified to be known proteins following MALDI-TOF analysis; 3 spots were up-regulated and 8 spots were down-regulated in the mouse fetus brain at ED 15.5. UP-regulated proteins were identified as MCG18238, isoform M2 of pyruvate kinase isozymes M1/M2, isoform 2 of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2, creatine kinase B-type, 40S ribosomal protein SA and hemoglobin subunit beta-H1. Down-regulated proteins were putative uncharacterized protein, lactoylglutathione lyase and secreted acidic cysteine rich glycoprotein. Our results revealed composite profiles of mouse fetus brain proteins related to mouse fetus development by 2-DE analysis implying possible roles of these proteins in neural differentiation.

Background: Dexmedetomidine is known to be administered for sedation safely even in a very elderly patient. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of age on clinically optimal dose of dexmedetomidine for sedation. Methods: We enrolled 50 patients ASA class I and II, scheduled for lower extremity surgery that need. They were classified into a young group (n = 26), aged below 75 and an old group (n = 24), aged above 75. Dexmedetomidine was continuously infused $0.5{\mu}g/kg$ within 10 min, followed by maintenance at a dose of $0.5{\mu}g/kg/min$, initially. The next dose was selected using the Dixon's up-and-down method. Results: The cED50 of dexmedetomidine required to maintain optimal sedation level in young and old group were 0.50 and $0.48{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. With isotonic regression, cED95 of dexmedetomidine was $0.71{\mu}g/kg$ (95% confidence intervals $0.57-1.06{\mu}g/kg$) and $0.58{\mu}g/kg$ (95% confidence intervals $0.51-0.67{\mu}g/kg$). There were no significant differences in cED50 (P = 0.21), recovery variables, or incidence of side effects between the two groups. Conclusions: Clinically optimal dose of dexmedetomidine was not affected to the age during sedation.
