Background: Quantitative real time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) is one of the most important techniques for gene-expression analysis in molecular based studies. Selecting a proper internal control gene for normalizing data is a crucial step in gene expression analysis via this method. The expression levels of reference genes should be remained constant among cells in different tissues. However, it seems that the location of cells in different tissues might influence their expression. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has any effect on expression level of three common reference genes (GAPDH, ${\beta}$-actin and ${\beta}2$-microglobulin) in equine marrow- and adipose-derived undifferentiated MSCs and consequently their reliability for comparative qRT-PCR. Materials and methods: Adipose tissue (AT) and bone marrow (BM) samples were harvested from 3 mares. MSCs were isolated and cultured until passage 3 (P3). Total RNA of P3 cells was extracted for cDNA synthesis. The generated cDNAs were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. The PCR reactions were ended with a melting curve analysis to verify the specificity of amplicon. Results: The expression levels of GAPDH were significantly different between AT- and BM-derived MSCs (p < 0.05). Differences in expression level of ${\beta}$-actin (P < 0.001) and B2M (P < 0.006.) between MSCs derived from AT and BM were substantially higher than GAPDH. In addition, the fold change in expression levels of GAPDH, ${\beta}$-actin and B2M in AT-derived MSCs compared to BM-derived MSCs were 2.38, 6.76 and 7.76, respectively. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that GAPDH and especially ${\beta}$-actin and B2M express in different levels in equine AT- and BM-derived MSCs. Thus they cannot be considered as reliable reference genes for comparative quantitative gene expression analysis in MSCs derived from equine bone marrow and adipose tissue.

본 논문에서는 기존의 분포궤환형 레이저 다이오드와 광흡수 변조기(DFB-LD/EA­ MOD.)가 집적된 소자의 낮은 광효율과 수율의 문제점을 해결하고, 동시에 우수한 chirp특성을 나타내는 분포반사기 레이저 다이오드와 광흡수 변조기 (DR-LD/EA­MOD.)가 집적된 소자를 제안하였다. DR-LD/EA­MOD. 집적소자는 제작상으로 DR-LD/EA­MOD. 소자와 비교해서 선택 MOVPE성장시 SiO2 마스크 폭만 조절하는 것 외엔 거의 동일하므로 실용적 측면에서도 우수한다. 집적소자의 정특성 및 동특성을 해석하기 위하여 시간의존성을 갖는 전달 메트릭스방법, 활성층내의 비율 방정식, 변조기의 QCSE효과를 고려한 Schrodinger 방정식을 동시에 풀이하였다. 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$ DR-LD/EA­MOD. 집적소자와 종래 사용중인 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$ DR-LD/EA­MOD. 집적소자의 성능을 비교 분석하여, LD에 동일전류를 주입할 경우 광변조기의 on상태의 광출력이 약 30%이상 향상되고, 동일 광변조기의 잔류단면반사율에 대해 광출력의 ripple이 적고, 동적파장 천이량이 약 50%이상 줄어듦을 알 수 있었다. 또한 DR-LD/EA­MOD. 소자는 시분할 파장특성은 광 펄스의 leading edge에서 blue-shift, falling edge에서 red-shift 특성이 기대되었다. 이는 일반적인 단일모드 광섬유를 사용하여 광 펄스를 전송할 경우 전송시 펄스 폭이 좁아지는 효과를 주어 이로 인해 전송대역폭을 크게 향상시킬 수 있음을 의미한다.

Purpose: Nasal bone fracture is the most common type of facial bone fracture and most of nasal bone fracture is combined with septal fracture frequently. Nasal septum is important to support the distal nose and to maintain the nasal airway. But nasal septal fractures are usually unrecognized and untreated at the time of operation. Recently, various materials were using for nasal packing after closed reduction, however these materials are not focused on the correction of nasal bone and nasal septal fracture and many patients are suffered from nasal packing materials. Thus, the purpose of this study is to compare routine packing materials and rolled silastic sheet with respect to postoperative effect of correction of nasal bone fracture and discomfort of nasal packing materials. Methods: We examined 320 patients treated nasal bone fracture from January 2008 to December 2010. For Group I (n=92), $Merocel^{(R)}$ was used for nasal packing, for Group II (n=152) vaseline gauze was used, and Rolled silastic sheet (RSS) with vaseline gauze packing (VGP) was used for Group III (n=76). Under the general anesthesia, all patients were operated by closed reduction and nasal packing was done using three kinds of packing materials. At the time of postoperative 7 days, packing material was removed and studied for pt's satisfaction and postop. complications. Results: In patients with RSS with VGP, the complaints (nasal obstruction, foreign compressive sensation and discomfort during food ingestion) of keeping the nasal packing were decreased ($p$ <0.05) and the postoperative complication (deviation) were decreased comparing to vaseline gauze packing and $Merocel^{(R)}$ packing, however, these differences were not statistically significant ($p$ >0.05). Conclusion: Postoperative nasal packing with RSS with VGP was more comfortable to the patients and it was more effective method to correct the nasal bone fracture and nasal septal fracture.

Purpose: Heterotopic calcification is a pathological event in which deposits of calcium salts build up, usually in the joint area or soft tissues. It can occur under many conditions and in some rare cases may develop in burn scars. In particular, ulcerations in burn scars accompanied by heterotopic calcification are difficult to treat through conservative treatment. This study reports methods for accurate diagnosis and adequate treatment of ulceration in burn scars accompanied by heterotopic calcification. Methods: Fourteen patients who visited our hospital from March 2008 to January 2010 were subjected to this study. Their sex, age, modes of burn, degree, TBSA (%), ulcerated area, the time of occurrence of the ulcerations in the burn scars were investigated. In addition, radiological examination and biopsy was performed to diagnose heterotopic calcification. Results: Among the 14 cases, 6 were male and 8 were female. The average age of the patients was 48.2 (27 - 69 yrs). As for the mode of burn, 11 were flame burns and 3 were scalding burns. The average time of occurrence of the ulcerations in the burn scars was 4.5 months. The ulcerated areas were situated in the legs in 12 cases, arms in 1 case, and torso in 1 case. The diagnosis was confirmed through X-ray and biopsy, and skin graft was performed after wide excision. Conclusion: Diagnosis of the ulceration in burn scars accompanied by heterotopic calcification is possible through radiological and pathologic studies. Surgical treatment is the most reliable method of treatment, and we chose to perform skin graft after wide excision. Also, we learned that the complete removal of the calcified tissue and the inflammatory fibrotic tissues is crucial in preventing recurrence. Also, in contrast to Marjolin's ulcer, heterotopic calcification had a small size, little or no granulation tissue, and lacked fungating type ulceration. Therefore, favorable prognosis could be achieved through adequate treatment.

Purpose: Double - eyelid operation is one of the most common cosmetic operations among Korean patients. In such operations, however, the complexity of and individual differences in the patients' anatomical structures may cause various complications, such as asymmetry, retraction of the eyelid, and the occurrence of a high fold. A high fold occurs frequently, and its correction is not very simple. Many methods have been developed to correct it, and among these, the operation involving the excision of the skin between the previous double - eyelid line and the new double - eyelid line is usually selected by plastic surgeons. In many cases, however, patients have insufficient eyelid skins for this operation. In this study, the authors introduce an operation procedure for high - fold correction that does not involve skin excision Methods: From June 2005 to June 2009, 246 cases were treated with this procedure. After the incision of the new double - eyelid line, dissection was done between the previous scar tissue and the levator aponeurosis. Then the orbital septum, orbital fat or the retro - orbicularis oculi fat was slid down and sutured with a tarsal plate. Such sutures were repeated at four to five points, including the lateral and medial limbus, to prevent the reattachment of the previous scar and to create a new double - eyelid line at the end of the orbital septum. Results: Most of the high - fold patients were satisfied with the procedure described above. Their previous scar was hidden under the new double - eyelid line after the operation. In the six cases, the scar was visible in the patients who had a very high and deep inner line. As such, scar revision was undertaken three months after the operation. It is known that scar revision is also required after an operation involving skin excision in the case of a very high inner - eyelid line. Conclusion: This method is an appropriative procedure for high - fold correction for patients who have insufficient upper - eyelid skin.

폴리아닐린(polyaniline, PANI)과 도판트인 camphorsulfonic acid(CSA), dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid(DBSA)와 의몰비 변화에 따라 가상 n형 PANI을 제조하였다. FT-IR측정으로부터 도핑유무를 확인하였고, indium thin oxide(ITO)에 코팅하여 제조한 전극에 대해, 순환전압전류법과 교류임피던스법을 이용하여 도판트의 영향을 조사하였다. FT-IR과 순환전압전류법으로부터, 제조된 전극이 양이온의 도핑-탈도핑이 일어나는 가상 n형의 특성을 가짐을 확인하였다. 순환전압전류법에서 산화-환원 피크전류값은 PANI/DBSA에 비하여 PANI/CSA가 약 5 배정도 더 큰 결과를 보였다. 교류임피던스법으로부터, 두 전극 모두 이상적인 Randles의 등가회로와 유사한 거동을 보였다. 전하이동저항은 PANI/CSA에서 $1.14~1.09 k{\Omega}$으로 거의 일정한 값을 보였고, PANI/DBSA는 DBSA 몰 비에 증가에 따라 $27.73{\sim}8.37K{\Omega}$으로 감소하여 나타났다. 이중층용량 또한 PANI/CSA는 $13.47{\sim}14.59 {\mu}F$으로 거의 일정하였으나, PANI/DBSA는 DBSA 몰 비 증가에 따라 $0.49{\sim}l.20 {\mu}F$으로 증가를 보였다. 결과적으로 PANI/CSA의 전기적 특성이 더 좋았으나, 도판트의 몰 비 증가에 따른 특성은 PANI/CSA 전극은 거의 일정하였고, PANI/DBSA 전극은 전기적 활성이 좋아짐을 알 수 있었다.

기존의 독성평가는 생물의 생존가능성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 이상행동반응에 대한 평가를 거의 하지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 행동학적 이해를 바탕으로 양서류 유생들의 생존가능성과 직결되는 포식자회피반응 행동을 이용하여 fullerene nanowhisker(FNW)와 nanowhisker-silver nanoparticle composites(FNW-Ag복합체)의 독성을 평가해 보았다. 우리는 나노물질에 노출되지 않는 그룹과 5가지 농도에 따른 나노물질에 노출되는 그룹(FNW $10{\mu}g/ml$, $100{\mu}g/ml$, $500{\mu}g/ml$과 FNW-Ag복합체 $10{\mu}g/ml$, $50{\mu}g/ml$)으로 나누어 실험하였다. 그 결과, FNW-Ag복합체 $50{\mu}g/ml$농도에 노출된 유생들을 제외하고는 평소 활동량에는 차이가 없었지만, FNW $10{\mu}g/ml$농도에 노출된 유생들을 제외하고는 모두 포식자인식 반응에 따른 활동변화에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 즉, 나노물질노출 유무는 평소 움직임에는 영향을 주지 않지만, 행동학적 이해를 바탕으로 한 분석결과 포식자회피반응에 영향을 준다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 생물을 대상으로 하는 독성평가연구에 행동학적 분석이 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The relationships between end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide ($P_{ET}CO_2$) and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide ($P_aCO_2$), and between $P_{ET}CO_2$ and blood pH in isoflurane-anesthetized cinereous vultures were evaluated. Nine cinereous vultures (weighing 7.3-9.5 kg) were anesthetized via mask with isoflurane, intubated, and connected to a mechanical ventilator. By mechanical ventilator, respiratory rate was altered to achieve a $P_{ET}CO_2$ randomly selected among 30 to 35 mmHg. $P_aCO_2$ and blood pH were determined in serial arterial samples and compared with concurrent $P_{ET}CO_2$ measured with a sidestream capnography. Thirty six samples, nine cinereous vultures were tested 4 times each, were used to determine correlations coefficients between $P_aCO_2$ and $P_{ET}CO_2$, and between $P_{ET}CO_2$ and blood pH. Strong correlations were observed between $P_aCO_2$ and $P_{ET}CO_2$ (r = 0.951, P = 0.000, y = 1.679x - 30.236, $R^2=0.905$) as well as between $P_{ET}CO_2$ and blood pH (r = -0.728, P = 0.000, y = -0.024x + 8.389, $R^2=0.530$) with Pearson's correlation coefficient and simple linear regression. These results suggest that the capnography used provided a sufficiently accurate estimation of $P_aCO_2$ and blood pH. Thus, the monitoring of $P_{ET}CO_2$ can be useful method to prevent hypoventilation for cinereous vultures receiving mechanical ventilation.
