This study was carried out to investigate the protective effects of GaMiHyangSaYukGunJaTang on gastric mucosal lesions caused by indomethacin in rats.The test group was injected with indomethacin after the oral administration of GaMiHyangSaYukGunJaTang, while the control group was injected only with indomethacin. The lipid peroxidation level increased considerably in the control group, but superoxide disnurtase(SOD), catalase and glutathione(GSH) levels remarkably decreased. The following effects induced by indomethacin were observed in the stomach of the control group; mucosa hemoIThagic infarct, mucosa cell necrosis, leukocyte appearance, mucosa hemorrhagic erosion and gastric pit disawearance. In the test group, lipid peroxides level was significantly reduced compared with the control group While SOD, catalase and GSH levels considerably increased. The following effects were also observed in the stomach of the test group; mucosa hemorrhagic infarct, mucosa cell necrosis, leukocyte appearance and mucosa hemorrhagic erosion occured far less and gastric pit disappearance was not observed at all. This results suggest that GaMiHyangSaYukGunJaTang is effective in the remedy of gastric mucosal lesions as GaMiHyangSaYukGunJaTang suppresses the production of the lipid peroxides and free radicals induced by indomethacin and activates SOD, catalase and GSH.

Tendency of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) detection from 2001 to 2016 in Korea was studied based on 15 reported cases. Since the VHSV was first detected from cultured olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in Pohang in 2001, it has been continuously reported from olive flounder farms in various regions of the Korean coastal area. So far, the virus has been detected from 2 farmed fishes, 12 wild marine fishes and 2 marine bivalves. All the 67 isolates were belong to VHSV genotype IVa. The predisposing factor analysis from different olive flounder farms revealed that the VHSV were highly detected from the juveniles under 40 g in body weight, in the temperature range from 9.5 to $17^{\circ}C$ and during the period of March to June. Therefore, we recommend that farmers, need to exercise caution against VHSV infection in Spring.

We report 17 patients with human granulocytic anaplasmosis between January 2015 and September 2018 at two tertiary university hospitals in Korea. Monthly incidence peaked in May and June. Among these patients, we identified three who were co-infected with scrub typhus, and one patient with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is an inflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in the inflammatory response through the activation of neutrophil cells. The expression of IL-8 was investigated in early developmental stages of the olive flounder and in tissues of 8-month-old individuals. The expression of IL-8 increased after the initiation of the immune system rather than at the early stage of development, and high expression was observed in the gills and spleen, the organs associated with immunity and metabolism. In addition, IL-8 expression after infection by viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus significantly increased in the fin, gill, muscles, and spleen. These results suggest that IL-8 is closely related to inflammation and immune regulation in the immune response of the olive flounder and may be used as a basis for studies on the immune systems of other fish.

Objective : Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) can be occurred after acute cerebral infarction. HT can worse symptoms in severe cases and adversely affect long-term prognosis. As bone and vascular smooth muscle are composed of type 1 collagen, we aimed to identify a potential relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and HT after acute cardioembolic stroke. Methods : As an indicator of BMD, we used mean frontal skull Hounsfield unit (HU) values on brain computed tomography (CT). Multivariative hazard ratios were calculated using Cox regression analysis to identify whether the osteoporotic condition was an independent predictor of HT after acute cardioembolic stroke. Results : This 11-year analysis enrolled 506 patients who diagnosed as acute cardioembolic infarction. The first tertile of skull HU value was an independent predictor of HT development compared to the third tertile (hazard ratio, 2.12; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-3.98; p=0.020). We observed no interactions between age and skull HU with respect to HT statistically. Conclusion : The results of this study revealed an association between osteoporotic conditions and HT development after acute cardioembolic stroke. A convenient method to measure the cancellous bone HU value of the frontal skull using brain CT images may be useful for predicting HT in patients with acute cerebral infarction.

Objectives : This Study was prepared for investigating the safety of oriental medicine and continuous intravenous urokinase combined therapy in acute cerebral infarction. Methods : We prospectively estimate safety of hemorrhagic transformation occurred in oriental medical therapy and continuous intravenous urokinase combined therapy. We estimate National Institute of Health Stroke Scale Score and Modified Barthel Index. Results : Hemorrhagic transformation was not noted. and Others are not fatal complication. Conclusions : oriental medical therapy and continuous intravenous urokinase combined therapy are safety method in treatment of acute cerebral infarction. We think this can be a good model of Oriental and western cooperative therapy.

Polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) mediates the transfer of polymeric immunoglobulin to protect organisms and is one of the most important mucosal effectors. In this study, the developmental stage- and tissue-specific expression of pIgR were observed before virus inoculation in olive flounder. pIgR was gradually expressed until the formation of immune tissue, exhibiting high expression in the late juvenile period; thereafter, pIgR expression gradually decreased and exhibited high expression in the spleen and skin. Moreover, pIgR expression after viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus infection was high in the kidney and spleen tissues at high density and low at low density. The results of this study can provide a basis for future studies on breeding density, virus expression, and immune system studies in fish.

영아기 급성 출혈성 부종(acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy, AHEI)은 주로 영아에서 발생하는 드문 혈관염으로 호흡기 바이러스 감염과 연관되어 발생할 수 있다. 저자들은 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) 감염 후 발생한 AHEI 단일 사례를 보고한다. 재태주수 38주에 3.5kg으로 출생한 건강했던 생후 47일된 환아는 동반증상 없는 발열을 주소로 내원하였고 COVID-19 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction 검사결과 양성이 확인되었다. 입원 이틀째부터 손과 발에 비창백성(non-blanching) 홍반성 반점(macule)과 반(patch)이 발생했고 압통을 동반한 부종이 관찰되었다. 발열은 호전되었고 전신 컨디션과 경구 섭취는 정상적인 모습을 보였다. 정맥 덱사메타손 투약 후 발진과 부종은 호전되었다. AHEI를 적시에 진단하는 것은 불필요한 검사나 치료를 피하고 드물지만 발생 가능한 심각한 합병증을 신속하게 발견하는데 중요하다.

본 연구에서는 넙치(Paralichthys olivaceus)로부터 분리한 바이러스성출혈성패혈증바이러스(viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus, VHSV, genotype IVa)에 대한 단클론 항체(monoclonal antibody, MAb)를 개발하였다. VHSV에 대한 항체를 생산하는 총 5개의 hybridoma clone을 생산하였다. 4개의 MAbs (2C10, 18H4, 23H6, 30B7)는 glycoprotein을 인식하였고, MAb 15E10은 nucleocapsid protein을 인식하였다. 5개의 MAbs는 western blot 상에서 VHSV에 감염된 세포와 넙치시료에 반응하였으나, 정상 세포와 넙치시료에는 반응하지 않았다. 또한 ELISA상에서 VHSV에만 반응하였고 6종의 어류바이러스(IHNV, HIRRV, SVCV, IPNV, MABV, NNV)에는 반응하지 않았다. 이상의 결과, 본 연구에서 제작된 MAbs는 VHSV에만 특이적으로 반응하는 것이 확인되어 VHSV를 검사하는데 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

전 세계적으로 상해로 인한 사망자 중 1/3의 직접적인 사망 원인은 출혈성 쇼크이다. 그러나 초기 쇼크에서 이를 정확히 예측할 수 있다면 신속한 치료가 가능하여 그 피해를 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 흰쥐의 대퇴부정맥을 통해 일정량의 출혈을 시키면서 변화하는 생리적 변수인 심박수, 수축기 혈압, 평균 동맥압, 호흡수, 체온 데이터로 최적의 생존 예측 모델을 제시하여 출혈성 쇼크를 조기 진단하는 것이다. 예측 모델로는 최근 많이 연구되는 인공신경망과 지원벡터기계 방법을 사용하였다. 과대적합을 피하고 최적의 모델을 선정하기 위해 10-fold cross validation을 수행하였을 때, 인공신경망의 경우 은닉노드 수가 3개인 모델이 가장 우수한 성능을 보였고, 지원벡터기계에서는 가우시안 커널함수를 이용한 모델이 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다. 평가 데이터 세트를 이용하여 각각의 생존 예측 모델을 평가한 결과 인공신경망의 경우 민감도 88.9 %, 특이도 96.7 %와 정확도 92.0 %를 보였고, 지원벡터기계의 경우 민감도 97.8 %, 특이도 95.0 %와 정확도 96.7 %를 보였다. 따라서 출혈에 따른 흰쥐의 생존 예측에서 지원벡터기계가 인공신경망보다 더 우수한 성능을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.
