Objective : This study was performed to evaluate the effects of Hap-Kok(LI4) and Jok-Sam-Lee(ST36) acupuncture on blood flow in In-Young(ST9). Method : Monitoring of TCD was examined in each 25's healthy men and wemen in 20s before and after acupucture on both(right and left) Hap-kok(LI4) and was done on both(right and left) Jok-Sam-Lee(ST36) by different group with same condition. Mean velocity and Pulsatility index analyzed from TCD at both In-Young(ST9). Both group was acupuctured for 15-20 minutes laying at bed. Results : The results showed a significant($p{\le}0.05:$ Paired T-test) decrease in mean velocity and increase in pulsatility index at both group. Conclusion : These results suggest that acupuncture could have a specific effect on blood flow called In-Young acupoint.

Objectives : This study was performed to change of blood flow in In-Young(ST9) after treatment on chronic daily headache patients. Methods : Monitoring of TCD was examined in 10' s chronic daily headache patients before and after treatment. Mean velocity flow, systolic velocity and pulsatility index were analyzed from TCD at In-Young(ST9). The patients was laid for 20 minutes before treatment and also for treatment. Results : The results showed a significant(p<0.05: Paired T-test) decrease in mean velocity flow and systolic velocity. but there were no significant differences in pulsatility index. Conclusions : These results suggest that there were significant change on blood flow in In-young of chronic daily headache patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out the normal angles of the talus-1st metatarsal angle, the talo-horizontal angle and calcaneal pitch angle for diagnosis of foot deformity in Korea. This would be helpful as it would provide a basic angular measurement of flat and cavus foot that indicates the need for operation. Materials and Methods: Within a period of four months from January 2007 to April 2007, We have established 600 feet of 300 males without trauma history of foot. The source to image distance is 40 inches and erect weight bearing radiographs are obtained in anteroposterior and lateral projections. The significant angular measurements that define flat or cavus foot are the talus-1st metatarsal angle, the talo-horizontal angle and calcaneal pitch angle. Results: The mean age was 21 years (19-22 years) old. The mean talus-1st metatarsal angle was $0{\pm}6.9{^{\circ}}$, the mean talo-horizontal angle was $25.8{\pm}4.5{^{\circ}}$ and the mean calcaneal pitch angle was $23.9{\pm}5.1{^{\circ}}$. Conclusion: We can consider that mean talus-1st metatarsal angle, talo-horizontal angle and calcaneal pitch angle are $0{\pm}6.9{^{\circ}}$, $25.8{\pm}4.5{^{\circ}}$ and $23.9{\pm}5.1{^{\circ}}$ as an normal angle limit of young age in Korea.

Sialic acids are key determinants for biological processes, such as cell-cell interaction and differentiation. Sialyltransferases contribute to the diversity in carbohydrate structure through their attachment of sialic acid in various terminal positions on glycolipid and glycoprotein (N-linked and O-linked) carbohydrate groups. Gal$\beta$ 1,3(4)GlcNAc $\alpha$2,3-sialyltransferase (ST3Gal III) is involved in the biosynthesis of $sLe^{X}$ and sLe^{a}$ known as selection ligands and tumor-associated carbohydrate structures. The appearance and differential distribution of ST3Gal III mRNA during mice embryogenesis [embryonic (E) days; E9, E11, E13, E15] were investigated by in situ hybridization with digoxigenin-labeled RNA probes coupled with alkaline phosphatase detection. On E9, all tissues were positive for ST3Gal III mRNA expression whereas ST3Gal III mRNA on E11 was not detected throughout all tissues. On E13, ST3GAl III mRNA was expressed in different manner in various tissues. In this stage, ST3Gal III mRNA was positive only in the liver, pancreas and bladder. On E15, specific signal for ST3GAl III was detected in the liver, lung and forebrain. These results indicate that ST3Gal III is differently expressed at developmental stages of mice embryo, and this may be importantly related with regulation of organogenesis in mice.

급성심근경색증 환자에서 약물 용출 스텐트(drug-eluting stents, DES)는 일반 금속 스텐트(bare-metal stents, BMS)에 비해 재협착은 감소하지만 구조적인 특성으로 스텐트 혈전증(stent thrombosis, ST)이 증가한다고 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 ST의 발생빈도, 임상양상, 그리고 1년간 예후를 알아보고자 하였다. 대학병원 심혈관센터에서 급성심근경색증으로 관상동맥 중재술을 받은 2,667명에서 스텐트 혈전증이 발생한 환자 80명을 대상으로 DES-ST를 I군(n=57), BMS-ST(n=23)를 II군으로 분류하여 양군 간의 특징을 분석하였다. 양군간의 ST는 I군에서 57명(2.7%)과 II군에서 23명(4.3%)로 양군 간에 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.064). ST의 유형으로는 acute ST는 I군5(8.8%), II군3(2.3%), subacute ST는 I군 29(50.9%), II군14(60.9%), late ST 는 I군11(19.3%), II군2(8.7%), very late ST는 I군12(21.1%), II군 4(17.4%)로 양군간의 차이는 없었다(p>0.605). DES와 BMS를 삽입 후 1년 예후에 미치는 인자로는 ST(OR 8.166 95% CI 2.825-23.608 p<0.001), 좌심실구혈율(<40) (OR 6.409 95% CI 2.422-16.955 p<0.001), 나이(${\geq}$75세) (OR 4.979 95% CI 1.946-12.744 p=0.001) 이었다. ST의 발생율은 양군 사이에 차이가 없었고, 1년 예후에 미치는 인자로는 ST의 발생, 좌심실 구혈률의 저하 및 환자의 연령 등 이었다.

사람 신경모세포종 세포주 SH-SY5Y에서 Fenretinide (FenR)에 의한 GD3합성효소(hST8Sia I)의 발현증가기작을 규명하게 위하여 hST8Sia I의 프로모터 활성을 조사해 본 결과 -1146에서 -646영역에서 FenR에 의한 활성증가를 나타내었다. 또한 부위특이적 변이의 분석은 -731에서 -722영역에 위치한 전사인자 NF-kB 결합부위가 hST8Sia I의 FenR에 의한 활성증가에 중요하게 관여하고 있음을 나타내었다. FenR에 의한 hST8Sia I 유전자의 발현유도에 포함된 신호전달기작을 전사인자 단백질의 항체를 이용하여 조사해 본 결과 FenR처리에 의해 세포질에서는 인산화된 AKT단백질 수준의 증가가 관찰되었고 핵내에서는 NF-kB의 p65단백질의 증가가 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과들은 FenR에 의한 hST8Sia I 유전자의 발현증가는 AKT신호전달경로에 의해 활성화된 NF-kB의 핵내로 이동하여 hST8Sia I 유전자의 프로모터에 결합함으로서 전사가 촉진되어 일어난다는 것을 나타낸다.

충남 보령시의 웅천천에 설치된 댐(어도 설치)과 대형 보(어도 미설치), 그리고 상류지역의 인근 폐광이 어류군집에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보기 위하여 2011년 4월부터 10월까지 4회에 걸쳐 10개 지점의 어류상을 조사하였다. 총 12과 36종의 어류가 채집되었으며 우점종은 Zacco platypus(23.4%), 아우점종은 Zacco koreanus(20.5%) 였다. 고유종은 10종(27.8%)이었으며, 외래도입종인 Micropterus salmoides가 출현하였다. 유사도분석 결과 상류인 St.1, St.2, St.3, 중류인 St.4, St.5, St.6, St.7 하류인 St.8, St.9, St.10의 세 그룹으로 구분되었다. 어도가 설치된 보령댐의 상하류 지점간(St.6-St.7)의 군집유사도는 높았으나, 어도가 설치되지 않은 대형보의 상하류 지점간(St.7-St.8)의 유사도는 매우 낮아 어도의 설치가 필요하였다. 정준상관분석 결과, 웅천천의 환경조건은 일반적인 하천과는 달리 상류에서 전기전도도와 염도가 높게 나타났으며 이러한 환경에서 Misgurnus mizolepis 외에 고유종인 Silurus microdorsalis, Coreoleuciscus splendidus, Iksookimia koreensis 등이 서식하고 있었다. 하폭이 크고 유속이 느린 하류역에는 외래도입종인 M. salmoides 외에 고유종인 Squalidus gracilis majimae 이 동소적으로 출현하고 있어 이들을 위한 보호 대책이 필요하였다.

Salt tolerance was evaluated at the young seedling stage of rice (Oryza sativa L.) using recombinant inbred lines (MG RILs) from a cross between Milyang 23 (japonica/indica) and Gihobyeo (japonica). 22 of 164 MG RILs were classified as tolerant with visual scores of 3.5-5.0 in 0.7% NaCl. Interval mapping of QTLs related to salt tolerance was conducted on the basis of the visual scores at the young seedling stage. Two QTLs, qST1 and qST3, conferring salt tolerance, were detected on chromosome 1 and 3, respectively, and the total phenotypic variance explained by the two QTLs was 36.9% in the MG RIL population. qST1 was the major QTL explaining 27.8% of the total phenotypic variation. qST1 was flanked by Est12~RZ569A, and qST3 was flanked by RG179~RZ596. The detection of new QTLs associated with salt tolerance will provide important information for the functional analysis of rice salt tolerance.

Purpose: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been introduced for small-sized single and oligo-metastases in the brain. The aim of this study is to assess treatment outcome, efficacy, and prognostic variables associated with survival and intracranial recurrence. Materials and Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 123 targets in 64 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with SRS between January 2006 and December 2012. Treatment responses were evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging. Overall survival (OS) and intracranial progression-free survival (IPFS) were determined. Results: The median follow-up was 13.9 months. The median OS and IPFS were 14.1 and 8.9 months, respectively. Fifty-seven patients died during the follow-up period. The 5-year local control rate was achieved in 85% of 108 evaluated targets. The 1- and 2-year OS rates were 55% and 28%, respectively. On univariate analysis, primary disease control (p < 0.001), the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (0-1 vs. 2; p = 0.002), recursive partitioning analysis class (1 vs. 2; p = 0.001), and age (<65 vs. ${\geq}65$ years; p = 0.036) were significant predictive factors for OS. Primary disease control (p = 0.041) and ECOG status (p = 0.017) were the significant prognostic factors for IPFS. Four patients experienced radiation necrosis. Conclusion: SRS is a safe and effective local treatment for brain metastases in patients with NSCLC. Uncontrolled primary lung disease and ECOG status were significant predictors of OS and intracranial failure. SRS might be a tailored treatment option along with careful follow-up of the intracranial and primary lung disease status.
