  • Thai Jasmine rice (Oryza sativa, long grain Indica var.) is popular in southeastern Asia and China due to its non-glutinous, fluffy texture and fragrant smell. However it has a high starch digestibility, which leads to an increased glycemic index (GI). Therefore it may require modified cooking methods for diabetes patients. The objectives of this study were to optimize the ratio of Thai Jasmine rice, sea tangle, and olive oil (CLTR) based on consumers' acceptance. The GI of plain cooked Thai Jasmine rice (CLR) was measured as a control. Sensory evaluation and response surface methodology were used to determine the optimal ratio. Texture analysis and nutritional evaluation were also performed on the optimal recipe of cooked Jasmine rice with sea tangle. A multiple regression equation was developed in quadratic canonical polynomial models. We used 26 trained Chinese panelists in their forties to rate color, flavor, adhesiveness, and glossiness, which we determined were highly correlated with overall acceptability. The optimal CLTR formula was 34.8% rice, 2.8% sea tangle, 61.9% water, and 0.5% olive oil. Compared to CLR, CLTR had a lower hardness, but a higher springiness and cohesiveness. However, CLR and CLTR had the same adhesiveness and chewiness. The addition of sea tangle and olive oil delayed retro-gradation of starch in CLTR and increased total dietary fiber, and protein and ash contents. The degree of gelatinization, and in vitro protein and starch digestibility of CLTR were lower than those of CLR. Based on Wolver' method, the GI of CLTR (52.9, incremental area under the glycemic-response curve, ignoring the area below fasting, as used for calculating the GI [Inc]) was lower compared with that of CLR (70.94, Inc), which indicates that CLTR is effective in decreasing and stabilizing blood glucose level, owing to its lower degree of gelatinization and starch digestibility. Our results show that CLTR can contribute to the development of a healthier meal for families and the fast food industry.

  • The protease-activated receptor (PAR)-2 is highly expressed in endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. It plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure via the modulation of peripheral vascular tone. Although several mechanisms have been suggested to explain PAR-2-induced hypotension, the precise mechanism remains to be elucidated. To investigate this possibility, we investigated the effects of PAR-2 activation on N-type $Ca^{2+}$ currents ($I_{Ca-N}$) in isolated neurons of the celiac ganglion (CG), which is involved in the sympathetic regulation of mesenteric artery vascular tone. PAR-2 agonists irreversibly diminished voltage-gated $Ca^{2+}$ currents ($I_{Ca}$), measured using the patch-clamp method, in rat CG neurons, whereas thrombin had little effect on $I_{Ca}$. This PAR-2-induced inhibition was almost completely prevented by ${\omega}$-CgTx, a potent N-type $Ca^{2+}$ channel blocker, suggesting the involvement of N-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels in PAR-2-induced inhibition. In addition, PAR-2 agonists inhibited $I_{Ca-N}$ in a voltage-independent manner in rat CG neurons. Moreover, PAR-2 agonists reduced action potential (AP) firing frequency as measured using the current-clamp method in rat CG neurons. This inhibition of AP firing induced by PAR-2 agonists was almost completely prevented by ${\omega}$-CgTx, indicating that PAR-2 activation may regulate the membrane excitability of peripheral sympathetic neurons through modulation of N-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels. In conclusion, the present findings demonstrate that the activation of PAR-2 suppresses peripheral sympathetic outflow by modulating N-type $Ca^{2+}$ channel activity, which appears to be involved in PAR-2-induced hypotension, in peripheral sympathetic nerve terminals.

  • Objective : Nontraumatic subdural hematoma (SDH) is a common disease, and spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is a possible etiology of unknown significance, which is commonly investigated by several invasive studies. This study demonstrates that heavily T2-weighted magnetic resonance myelography (HT2W-MRM) is a safe and clinically effective imaging modality for detecting CSF leakage in patients with nontraumatic SDH. Methods : All patients who underwent HT2W-MRM for nontraumatic SDH workup at our institution were searched and enrolled in this study. Several parameters were measured and analyzed, including patient demographic data, initial modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score upon presentation, SDH bilaterality, hematoma thickness upon presentation, CSF leakage sites, treatment modalities, follow-up hematoma thickness, and follow-up mRS score. Results : Forty patients were identified, of which 22 (55.0%) had CSF leakage at various spinal locations. Five patients (12.5%) showed no change in mRS score, whereas the remaining (87.5%) showed decreases in follow-up mRS scores. In terms of the overall hematoma thickness, four patients (10.0%) showed increased thickness, two (5.0%) showed no change, 32 (80.0%) showed decreased thickness, and two (5.0%) did not undergo follow-up imaging for hematoma thickness measurement. Conclusion : HT2W-MRM is not only safe but also clinically effective as a primary diagnostic imaging modality to investigate CSF leakage in patients with nontraumatic SDH. Moreover, this study suggests that CSF leakage is a common etiology for nontraumatic SDH, which warrants changes in the diagnosis and treatment strategies.

  • Six cases of congenital heart disease were operated on by means of cardiopulmonary bypass between December, 1975 and April, 1976. Two cases of ventricular septal defects (VSD), two cases of VSD, associated with ruptured aneurysm of sinus Valsalva, two cases of atrial septal defects (ASD) and one case of pulmonic stenosis with patent ductus arteriosus were operated. Sarns roller pumps and Bentley Temptrol oxygenators were used for extracorporeal circulation. Pump oxygenator was primed with Ringer's lactate solution, 5% dextrose in water, mannitol, and ACD blood. Flow rate ranged from 2.0 to $2.4L/M^2/min$. Bicarbonate was added to the oxygenator with estimated amount as 15 mEq/L/hr. Venous catheters were introduced into superior and inferior vena cava, and oxygenated blood was returned to the body through aortic cannula inserted into ascending aorta. Moderate hypothermia ($30^{\circ}C$) was induced by core cooling. Aorta was cross clamped for 15 minutes and released for 3 minutes, and repeated clamping when necessary. Atrial and ventricular septal efects were closed by direct sutures. Aneurysms of sinus Valsalva ruptured into the right ventricle were repaired through right ventriculotomy by d:rect closure with Dacron patch reinforcement. Cardiopulmonary bypass time varied from 66 to 209 minutes, and aorta cross clamping time ranged from 13 to 56 minutes. Postoperative bleeding was minimal except one case who needed for evacuation of substernal hematoma. Intra- and postoperative urinary output was satisfactory. Acid-base balance, partial pressure of $O_2$, electrolytes, and hematological changes during intra- and post-perfusion period remained at the acceptable ranges. No mortality was experienced.

  • For years, physicians and anatomists have been interested in the heart that has one functioning ventricle. Various terms have been suggested for this entity including single ventricle, common ventricle, double-inlet left ventricle, cor biatriatum triloculare, and primitive ventricle. In this report, the term "single ventricle" is utilized as suggested by Van Praagh, and is defined as that congenital cardiac anomaly in which a common or separate atrioventricular valves open into a ventricular chamber from which both great arterial trunks emerge. An outlet chamber, or infundibulum, may or may not be present and give rise to the origin of either of the great arteries. This definition excludes the entity of mitral and tricuspid atresia. An 11 year old cyanotic boy was admitted chief complaints of exertional dyspnea and frequent upper respiratory infection since 2 weeks after birth. He was diagnosed as inoperable cyanotic congenital heart disease, and remained without any corrective treatment up to his age of 11 year when he suffered from aggravation of symptoms and signs of congestive heart failure for 2 months before this admission. On 22nd of May 1979, he was admitted for total corrective operation under the impression of tricuspid atresia suggested by a pediatrician. Physical check revealed deep cyanosis with finger and toe clubbing, and grade V systolic ejection murmur with single second heart sound was audible at the left 3rd intercostal space. Development was moderate in height [135 cm] and weight[28Kg]. Routine lab findings were normal except increased hemoglobin [21.1gm%], hematocrit [64 %], and left axis deviation with left ventricular hypertrophy on EKG. Cardiac catheterization and angiography revealed 1-transposition of aorta, pulmonic valvular stenosis, double inlet of a single ventricle with d-loop, and normal atriovisceral relationship [Type III C solitus according to the classification of Van Praagh]. At operation, longitudinal incision at the outflow tract of right ventricle in between the right coronary artery and its branch [LAD from RCA] revealed high far anterior aortic valve which had fibrous continuity with mitral annulus, and pulmonic valve was stenotic up to 4 mm in diameter positioned posterolaterally to the aorta. Ventricular septum was totally defective, and one markedly hypertrophied moderator band originated from crista supraventricularis was connected down to the imaginary septum of the ventricular cavity as a pseudoseptum of the ventricle. Size of the defect was 3X3 cm2 in total. Patch closure of the defect with a Teflon felt of 3.5 x 4 cm2 was done with interrupted multiple sutures after cut off of the moderator band, which was resutured to the artificial septum after reconstruction of the ventricular septum. Pulmonic valvotomy was done from 4 mm to 11 mm in diameter thru another pulmonary arteriotomy incision, and right ventriculotomy wound was closed reconstructing the right ventricular outflow tract with pericardial autograft of 3 x 4 cm2. Atrial septal defect of 2 cm in diameter was closed with 3-0 Erdeck suture, and atrial wall was sutured also when rectal temperature reached from 24`C to 35.5`C. Complete A-V block was managed with temporary external pacemaker with a pacing rate of 110/min. thru myocardial wire, and arterial blood pressure of 80/50 mmHg was maintained with Isuprel or Dopamine dripping under the CVP of 25-cm saline. Consciousness was recovered one hour after the operation when his blood pressure reached 100 /70 mmHg, but vital signs were not stable, and bleeding from the pericardial drainage and complete anuria were persisted until his heart could not capture the pacemaker impulse, and patient died of low output syndrome 320 min after the operation.

  • Sibutramine is an anorectic that has been banned since 2010 due to cardiovascular safety issues. However, counterfeit drugs or slimming products that include sibutramine are still available in the market. It has been reported that illegal sibutramine-contained pharmaceutical products induce cardiovascular crisis. However, the mechanism underlying sibutramine-induced cardiovascular adverse effect has not been fully evaluated yet. In this study, we performed cardiovascular safety pharmacology studies of sibutramine systemically using by hERG channel inhibition, action potential duration, and telemetry assays. Sibutramine inhibited hERG channel current of HEK293 cells with an $IC_{50}$ of $3.92{\mu}M$ in patch clamp assay and increased the heart rate and blood pressure ($76{\Delta}bpm$ in heart rate and $51{\Delta}mmHg$ in blood pressure) in beagle dogs at a dose of 30 mg/kg (per oral), while it shortened action potential duration (at $10{\mu}M$ and $30{\mu}M$, resulted in 15% and 29% decreases in $APD_{50}$, and 9% and 17% decreases in $APD_{90}$, respectively) in the Purkinje fibers of rabbits and had no effects on the QTc interval in beagle dogs. These results suggest that sibutramine has a considerable adverse effect on the cardiovascular system and may contribute to accurate drug safety regulation.

  • 좌주관상동맥 협착증은 관상동맥 협착증 환자의 약 7%에서 발생될 정도로 관상동맥 협착증 중에서는 드문 질환이며, 특히 좌주관상동맥 협착증이 독립적으로 나타나는 경우는 1% 미만으로 매우 드물다. 그러나 독립된 좌주관상동맥 협착증이 있는 경우에 보편적인 관상동맥 우회로조성술로는 완전한 재관류를 기대할 수 없다. 따라서 이를 극복하기 위해 좌주관상동맥 혈관성형술이 새로이 시도되고 있다. 연세대학교 심장혈관센터에서는 1994년 5월부터 1996년 2월까지 독립된 좌주관상동맥 협착증을 가진 11명에게 혈관성형술을 시행하여 얻은 결과를 평가하고자 한다. 대상환자의 연령은 34세에서 62세 사이로 평균 44.1 $\pm$ 9.3세였다. 이중 남자가 3명, 여자가 8명 (73%)으로 대부분이 여자였다. 수술전 관상동맥 협착증의 위험요소는 당뇨가 1례, 고혈압이 3례, 흡연이 2례, 과체중이 3례 및 가족력이 1례 있었다. 평균 콜레스테롤 치는 196.5 $\pm$ 33.6 mg/dL였으며, 이중 4례에서 200 mg/dL가 넘었다. 수술전 흉통의 정도는 Class II가 6명, Class III가 5명이었으며, 심전도상에서 T inversion이나, ST elevation이 있으면서 심초음파검사에서 좌심실 운동장애를 보인 예가 4례 있었으나 심근경색증을 보인 예는 없었다. 수술전 좌심실 박출계수는 61.1 $\pm$ 5.9%였다. 수술후 좌심실 박출계수는 65.2 $\pm$ 9.1이었고, 좌심실 운동장애를 보인 예는 없었다. 진단은 좌주관상동맥 입구의 협착증이 8명, 근위부 협착이 3명이었으며, 협착정도는 전례에서 60% 이상이었고 이중 5례는 80% 이상이었다. 수술시 접근방법은 모든 예에서 좌주관상동맥의 전방접근을 시도하였으며, 혈관성형술에 사용한 첨포는 소심낭 (bovine pericardium) 을 사용하였다. 동반수술은 전례에서 좌전하행지에 우회로조성술을 시행하였다 (10례 : 좌내유동맥, 1례 : 대복재정맥). 수술시 측정한 협착부위의 직경은 1례가 1 mm, 나머지 10례는 2 mm였으며, 혈관성형술 후에 측정한 직경은 9례가 4 mm, 2례가 5 mm 였다. 수술후 합병증은 하지의 창상감염이 1례 있었으며, 수술사망은 없었다. 추적조사는 100%가 가능하였으며, 추적조사 기간은 평균 15.5$\pm$5.8 개월이었다. 이 기간 중 흉통이 발생한 예는 없었으며, 심전도상 이상소견을 보인 예도 없었다. 수술후 평균 14.4$\pm$3.3 개월에 관상동맥 조영술을 5례에서 시행하였으며, 5례 모두 좌주관상동맥 혈관성형술 부위는 광범위한 개통이 있었으나, 좌전하행지에 이식한 이식편 중 2례에서 중등도의 협착이 있었으며, 나머지 3례도 혈류량이 상당히 줄어든 소견을 보였다. 이상과 같은 결과로 미루어 독립된 좌주관상동맥 협착증이 있는 경우에 비적응증이 되지 않는다면 혈관성형술이 완전한 재관류를 위하여 이상적인 방법으로 생각되며, 단지 좌전하행지에 시행하는 우회로술은 의미가 없을 것으로 생각된다.

  • 연구배경 : 심한 폐기능 장애가 만생 폐질환 환자에서 발생한 기흉은 그 정도가 심하지 않더라도 심한 호흡곤란을 일으켜 환자의 생명을 위협하기도 한다. 우선 공기 천자 및 흉관삽입을 시행한 후에도 공기누출이 지속되는 경우 흉강경을 이용한 수술적 치료로 공가누출을 근원적으로 막는 것이 가장 좋은 방법이다. 그러나 심한 폐 손상으로 흉강경 삽입을 할 수 없는 경우에는 삽입된 흉관을 통하여 흉막유착을 시도하게 된다. 흔히 사용되는 제재는 tetracycline, talc powder, silver nitrate 등이며 때로는 OK-432, 항암제인 bleomycin, mitomycin등이 사용되기도 한다. 한가지 방법으로는 실패한 경우 다른 약제로 재시도 하지만 그래도 공기누출이 지속되는 경우에는 입원기간이 장기화 되면서 경제적 손실이 따르고 호흡기 합병증이 발생가능하며 때로는 사망할 수도 있다. 또한 주로 사용되던 주사용 tetracycline과 doxycycline 마저 최근 국내 생산이 중단되어 새로운 흉막유착물로의 대체가 필요한 실정이다. 한편 외상등으로 발생한 혈흉에서 적절히 배액되지 않으면 섬유흉(fibrothorax)이 발생 하며, 심한 경우 외과적 흉막박피술로 이를 제거하여야 할 정도로 혈관 밖으로 나온 혈액은 흉강내에서는 강력한 자극제로서 조직간에 유착을 일으킨다는 사실이 이미 알려져 있어 이를 이용한 자가혈액 흉막유착술의 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 공기누출이 지속되는 기흉이 합병된 중증 만성 폐질환 환자에서 자가혈액 흉막유착을 시행하였다. 이들은 수술적 치료에 적응증이 되지 않았고 일차적으로 시행한 doxycycline 흉막유착술에 실패한 예이다. 흉관 삽입 후 폐가 충분히 펴진 다음에 정맥에서 채취한 환자의 혈액과 50% dextrose를 같은 비율로 섞은 용액을 흉관 또는 pig-tail 카테터를 통하여 흉강대로 주입하여 흉막유착술을 수회 시행하였다. 이의 효과와 통증의 정도, 합병증 여부를 확인하였고, 기흉 발생 이전과 흉막유착후의 호흡곤란 정도와 폐기능의 변화에 대하여 조사하였다. 결과 : 자가혈액 흉막유착술은 지속적인 공기누출이 있는 기흉을 가진 대부분의 대상환자에서 성공적이었으며 1예에서만 6개월 뒤 재발하였다. 자가혈액 흉막유착술 이전의 공기누출기간은 평균 18.4일 이었고 이후는 5.2일 이었다. 일차로 시행한 doxycycline 흉막유착술에 비하여 통증이 적었으며 시술중 4예에서 미열이 있었고 이외의 다른 합병증은 없었다. 평균 21개월(2~68개월)간 추적검사 하였는데 흉막유착은 8예에서 경도로 있었다. 기흉발생 이전과 흉막유착술 시행 후의 호흡곤란 정도와 폐기능 변화는 없었다. 결론 : 자가혈액은 흉막유착술에 이용될 수 있는 유용한 제재로 생각된다. 지속척인 공기유출이 있는 기흉에서 쉽고 적은 비용으로 효과적으로 사용될 수 있었고 시술중이나 시술후에 큰 합병증도 발견되지 않았으며 무엇 보다도 혈액은 얻기가 쉽다. 기존의 doxycycline을 이용한 흉막유착술에 비하여 환자가 통증을 적게 호소하여 편안할 뿐만 아니라 tetracycline계의 약물과 달리 혈액은 때로는 patch로 작용하여 공기누출을 막는 효과가 더 높으며 추적 관찰 결과 시술후의 늑막유착은 심하지 않았다. 따라서 중증 만성 폐질환 환자에서 지속적인 공기누출이 있는 기흉이 있고 수술적 치료에 의한 적용이 되지 않는 경우 자가혈액을 이용한 흉막유착술은 유용한 치료법이라고 사료된다.

  • 목 적 : 호흡기 감염증으로 입원한 생후 2세 이하의 어린이에서 RSV 항원 검사에서 양성인 어린이의 임상소견을 분석하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1999년 10월부터 2000년 3월까지 호흡기 감염증으로 입원한 2세 이하의 어린이에서 VIDAS $^{(R)}RSV$ kit를 이용하여 enzyme-linked fluorescent immunoassay(ELFA) 방법으로 비강 삼출액에서 RSV 항원을 검출하고 양성인 환아에 대하여 흉부 X-선 소견, 검사 소견을 분석하고 임상양상을 검토하였다. 결 과 : ELFA법에 의한 RSV 항원 검출율은 총 대상 환아 102명 중 48례로 47%였다. 48례의 환아에서 남녀비는 1.2 : 1이었고 대상 환아의 평균 월령은 $10.2{\pm}5.9$개월이었다. RSV 항원 검사를 시작한 10월에 12례 25%, 11월에 21례 44%로 11월에 최고의 발생을 보였다. 가장 흔한 증상은 기침으로 전례에서 관찰되었고 30례(60%)에서 청진시 rale을 들을 수 있었으나 호흡곤란과 천명, 늑간 함몰은 각각 11례(23%), 15례(31%), 및 10례(21%)에서 관찰되었다. 말초혈 검사에서 대상 환아의 총 백혈구 수는 평균 $12,608{\pm}4,686/mm^3$이었고 IgA 및 IgE는 각각 $50.8{\pm}20.9$, $72.1{\pm}98.3mg/dL$, CRP는 $16{\pm}18.5mg/L$이었으나 33례에서 정상범위인 5mg/L 이상이었다. 총 5례에서 호흡기 치료를 시행하였으며 입원기간은 36례(75%)에서 7일 미만이었다. 결 론 : RSV 항원 검사는 10월과 11월에 양성율이 높았으며, RSV 항원이 양성인 다수의 어린이에 비해 입원기간이 다소 길었던 예와 호흡기치료가 필요했던 예가 적지 않아서 상당한 비율의 어린이가 심한 경과를 취하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
