Nine cases of human infection with Strongyloines stercornlis are reported among patients admitted to the Seoul Paik and Sang-Kye Paik Hospitals, Inje University, from April 1990 to Junuary 1992. The Patients, 7 males and 2 females acted between 50 and 70, either had the history of long term use of steroids for management of arthritis, or were complicated with other chronic diseases such as hypertension, liver diseases, psychotic disorders, and gastrointestinal problems. All of the nine patients revealed rhabditoid larvae of S. stercorolis in fecal examination. A 57-year-old woman who complained of arthritis and abdominal discomfort, was treated with albendazole and mebendazole, and on the 4th and 5th treatment day 220 parasitic adult females were collected from the diarrheal stool. The patient had a long history of administration of steroids for treatment of arthritis, and seems to have suffered from hyperinfection syndrome due to autoinfection with S. stercordis. This is the 3rd report on the recovery of parasitic adult females of S. stercoraLis in Korea.

Present study investigates the protective effects of green tea against acute ethanol administration on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system in various regions of rat brain ; cortex, cerebellum, striatum and hippofampus. The following parameters were examined : malondialdehyde(MDA) concentrations and activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px). Male Sprague-Dawley rats of 9 month old were given control diets or those containing 1% green tea powder for 4 weeks, and at tole end of feeding each diet group was received acute ethanol(5g/kg body weight) or equicaloric sucrose solution administration. Results indicated that green tea powder significantly decreased malondialdehyde(MDA) levels in the striatum(81.85nmol/g tissue) and hippocampus(71.68nmol/g tissue), compared to control group(145.68nmol/g tissue in the striatum, 119.04nmol/g tissue in the hippocampus). Also, a significant decrease was observed in the striatum of green tea-ethanol treated group compared to control group. Green tea significantly blocked an ethanol-induced catalase activation in the hippocampus, which means an ethanol administration drew a significant increase only in control diet groups. In conclusion, these results suggest that moderate consumption of green tea leaves ctrl have protective effects against ethanol induced oxidative stress on various regions of rat brain, by significantly reducing MDA concentrations in the striatum and hippocampus and inhibiting ethanol induced catalase activation in the hippocampus.

This study was designed to evaluate the influence of cultured epidermal tissue graft and the administration of transforming growth factor(TGF)-${\beta}_3$ on maxillary growth in surgically created palatal defects. A total of 155 rats were divided into 2 groups according to surgical timing : postnatal 2 weeks(n=95), 4 weeks(n=40) and control(unoperated) group(n=20). The postnatal 2-week surgical group was subdivided into 3 groups according to repair methods: conventional surgery(Von Langenbeck technique)group(n=23); cultured tissue graft group(n=25); and full thickness skin graft group(n=25). Additionally, recombinant human TGF-${\beta}_3$ was administered(30ng or 150ng) on collagen matrix in surgically created palatal defects during surgery(9 conventional surgeries, 9 cultured tissue grafts) in 2-week-old rats. The results showed that all types of surgical treatment decreased maxillary growth compared with the control(unoperated) group(p<0.0001). On the other hand, the tissue graft group, whether cultured tissue or grafted skin, contributed to increased maxillary growth(p<0.0001).And exogenous TGF-${\beta}_3$ might play a role in connective tissue proliferation and new bone generation during wound healing on palatal defects. Our results suggest that grafting cultured epidermis with collagen matrix decreases the scar tension on maxillary growth more than conventional palatal surgery does. Therefore, exogenous TGF-${\beta}_3$ may contribute to accelerate wound healing on palatal defects.

The loudness dependence of the auditory evoked potential (LDAEP) has been proposed as a valid biomarker of central serotoninergic activity in humans. The specificity and sensitivity of the LDAEP to changes in serotonergic neurotransmission have recently been explored in many studies about pharmacology and genetics. The majority of evidence for an association between the LDAEP and serotonin activity has come from animal studies. Genetic association studies with the LDAEP have provided conflicting reports with additional evidence outlining sensitivity to other neurotransmitter systems including the dopamine and glutamatergic systems. The LDAEP has been revealed to reflect the pathophysiology of various psychiatric illnesses. There is supporting evidence that major psychiatric disorders have differential LDAEP activities. Overall, the LDAEP shows strong evidence as a potential predictor of antidepressant treatment response. It need to be explored whether the LDAEP could be a biological marker of various psychiatric diseases and treatment prediction of antidepressants and serotonin related drugs.

In this study, a series of bi-axially oriented films based on homo polypropylene (PP) and hydrocarbon resin (HCR) modified PP were prepared to investigate their mechanical properties, optical properties, permeability to gases and water vapors and shrinkage ratio. Hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) resin and hydrogenated C9 resin were used as HCR in this study. Bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films made with PP/HCR blends showed better mechanical properties (higher Young's modulus), better optical properties (lower haze), lower permeability to gases and water vapors and increased shrinkage ratio than BOPP films made with homo-PP. Hydrogenated DCPD resin and hydrogenated C9 resin showed similar contribution to the improvement in mechanical properties and optical properties of BOPP films, but there are a differences in permeability to gases and water vapors and shrinkage ratio.

To find antitumor components in the cultured mycelia of Lepiota procera, the proteinpolysaccharide obtained from the mycelia was subjected to DEAE - Sephadex A-50 column chromatography and Sepharose-4B gel filtration. Of the fractions, the purified Fraction C1 was named lepiotan and examined for antitumor activity against the solid form of sarcoma 180 in ICR mice. The inhibition ratio of lepiotan was 64% at the dose of 10 mg/kg/day for 10days. The chemical analysis of lepiotan showed 60% polysaccharide and 21 % protein. The polysaccharide moiety was found to be a heteromannoglucan which consisted of 46.3% glucose, 40.2% mannose and 11.0% fucose. When the antitumor component, Fraction A, was examined for immunopotentiation activity, it was found to increase the number of plaques in hemolytic plaque assay and to restore the immunity in the tumor-bearing mice up to 89.7% of the normal level. Also the antitumor acitivity was suppressed by the treatment with carrageenan, an antimacrophage agent. These results indicate that the antitumor activity was exerted through immunopotentiation, but not through direct cytotoxicity against the tumor.

유기 발광 다이오드 (OLED)의 상용화를 위해 해결해야할 기술적 문제 중하나는 장수명이다. OLED에 적용된 유기물 층은 수분과 산소에 취약하여 소자 수명을 단축하는 요소로 작용하는데, 이를 해결하기 위해 유기물을 보호하며, 유기물 내로 침투되는 수분과 산소를 제어하기 위한 보호 층의 증착이 필수적이다. 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는, 사이클 화학 기상 증착법(C-CVD)을 이용하여 SiN/SiCN/SiN 구조의 무기 박막을 증착하여 유기물 보호층으로서의 적용 가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 이 때 각층의 두께는 각 각 10 nm이다. 증착된 다층 무기 박막은 비정질 상으로 수분 침투 보호막으로서 적당하다. 다층 무기 박막의 수분에 대한 저항성은 칼슘을 이용한 투과도 변화를 이용하여 측정하였다. 칼슘을 이용한 투과도 측정을 위해 고분자 PEN 필름위에 칼슘을 60nm 두께로 증착 시키고, 이어서 무기물인 SiN/SiCN/SiN의 다층 박막을 확산 방지층으로 증착 하였다. 제작된 소자는 온도 $85^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 85%의 가혹 조건에서 시간에 따른 표면 변화 및 투과도의 변화를 측정하였다. SiN/SiCN/SiN 구조를 갖는 무기 박막 층의 투습도는 3000시간까지는 $3.2{\times}10-5g/m/day$를 유지하였다. 이는 OLED 소자의 상용화를 위한 요구 조건에 근접한 값이다. 그러나 투습도는 측정 시간이 6000시간이 지난 후에 급격 증가하는데 이것은 30nm 두께의 SiN/SiCN/SiN의 확산 방지층에 임계 수명이 존재 한다는 것을 의미 한다고 할 수 있다. C-CVD 기술에 의해 제조된 다층 무기 박막 보호 층의 경계면에서 각 층간의 intermixing 현상이 관측되었으며, 이는 무기물 층의 결함과 핀 홀을 통해 내부로 확산 되는 수분의 침투 경로를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 방법이다. 본 연구 결과는 유연 기판 상에 제작된 OLED 소자에 적용 가능한 기술로서 소자 수명의 연장 뿐만 아니라 경량화에도 기여할 수 있는 기술이다.

Tuberculous peritonitis is a rare cause of intra-abdominal infection. Although sometimes asymptomatic, most of the patients have fever, weight loss, abdominal pain, and edema. The diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis is difficult and sometimes delayed because of confusion of the disease with other illnesses and the non-specificity of signs and symptoms. Tuberculous peritonitis is examined with ultrasonography and computerized tomogram, but confirmed by biopsy or tuberculosis culture. Ascitic fluid is exudates with a lot of lymphocytes and elevated protein. Tuberculous peritonitis is treated successfully with isoniazid, rifampicin for one year, pyrazinamide for first 2 months and streptomycin for first one month. We experienced one case of tuberculous peritonitis with transudate of ascitic fluid, confirmed by biopsy using colonoscopy, and treated successfully.

최근 그래핀의 대면적 합성 및 롤투롤 전사 공정의 개발로 그래핀의 상용화가 가시화 되고 있다. 하지만, 그래핀의 독특한 특성인 선형적이고 밴드갭이 없는 에너지 띠 분포 때문에 반도체 소자로서의 직접적인 적용에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 돌파구로써, 그래핀 복합체의 연구와 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있으며 본 연구에서는 그래핀 복합 적층 구조를 다룬다. 이는 디스플레이, 초고속 반도체 소자, 고성능 광전자소자 및 초고감도 센서 등 다양한 분야에 대한 그래핀의 실용화 가능성이 높아진 것을 의미한다. 특히, 높은 가시광 투과도와 낮은 면저항으로 기존 투명 전극에 대표적으로 사용되고 있는 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)를 그래핀으로 대체하는 것에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 그래핀이 높은 전자이동도를 가지는 것에 비하여 비저항과 투과도 측면에 있어서는 ITO의 성능을 뛰어넘지 못하는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ITO가 가지는 취약점인 기판과의 약한 접착력, 높은 취성, 기판과의 열팽창률 차이 등의 공정상 문제점을 극복하고자 하였다. 그래핀 복합 적층 필름은 플라스틱 기판 (PET) 위에 열 화학기상증착법(Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD)을 이용하여 합성한 그래핀을 전사하고, ITO 용액을 도포한 다음 다시 그래핀을 씌워 제작하여 샌드위치 구조(sandwich structure)를 형성하였다. 완성된 필름은 광학적, 전기적 특성 분석을 수행하였다. 광학적 분석으로는 라만 분광을 이용한 그래핀 품질평가와 파장대에 따른 광 투과도, 그리고 반사도 측정을 하였으며, 전기적 특성은 면저항을 측정함으로써 분석한다. 결함이 적고, 대면적에 걸쳐 한 층을 이루어야 하는 고품질 그래핀의 요구사항에 따라 라만 분광의 G, 2D, D 띠를 분석하였다. G와 2D 띠의 비율을 통해 그래핀의 층 수를, D 띠의 강도를 통해 결함의 유무를 판단하였다. 또한, 가시광 영역에서 90% 이상의 광 투과도를 보여야 하는 투명 소자의 요구사항 달성 정도를 UV-VIS를 이용하여 확인하였다. 마지막으로, 제작한 필름의 면저항 또한 4-프로브 멀티미터를 이용하여 측정하고, 일반적인 터치스크린의 면저항인 $500{\Omega}/sq$를 만족하는지 평가하였다.
