  • Pseudin is a naturally occurring 24 amino-acid-residue antimicrobial peptide derived from the skin of paradoxical frog Pseud's paradoxa. It shows potency against the bacteria and antibiotic-resistant bacteria strain, but has high cytotoxicity against mammalian cell. In our previous study, substitution of $Pro^{11}$ for Gly (Ps-P) increased bacterial cell selectivity but decreased the antibacterial activity of pseudin. In this study, we designed pseudin analogue, Ps-4K-P with increased cationicity up to +7 in Ps-P by substituting Glu14, Gln10, Gln24, and Leu18 with Lys. Ps-4K-P showed improved potent antibacterial activity with high bacterial cell selectivity. We determined the tertiary structure of Ps-4K-P in the presence of DPC micelles by NMR spectroscopy and it has a hinge structure at $Pro^{11}$ followed by three turn helices from $Pro^{11}$ to $Val^{23}$ at the C-terminus. Amphipathicity with increased cationicity as well as helix-hinge-helix structural motif provided by introduction of a Pro at position $Gly^{11}$ are the crucial factors which confer antibacterial activity with bacterial cell selectivity to Ps-4K-P.

  • Aesthetic values reflecting the phases of the time are well represented in the clothing styles in paintings. Especially, modern German romantic artists' ideologies on the essence of nature and life are reflected in the figures of paintings. This paper aims at finding out how the sublime beauty of German romantic clothing styles is represented in the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich. The research is summarized as follows. First, the German romanticism led the modern romanticism and was especially enthusiastic about the sublime beauty of arts. Second, the sublime means the exaltation of passionately soaring souls and has the mysterious transcendence that unpleasant feeling is elevated to pleasant feeling inside men who are so feeble compared with vast nature. Third, the male and female clothing styles in his paintings represent the religious, contemplative, paradoxical, transcendental, liberating sublime beauties of the German romanticism. Accordingly, a study on the sublime beauty of the German romantic clothing styles will renew the interpretation and aesthetic values of early modern clothing.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the Depaysement techniques in a new perspective, which are applicable to fashion window display. It was investigated by studying the case of Depaysement expressed in contemporary fashion window display. The analysis object of this study was limited to window displays shown at the world's most famous department stores in the last five years. The data was collected through related specialty publications and each department store's websites. The framework for analysis of this study is established by relevant precedent studies. The results of this study were drawn form comparative quantitative analysis from an expert group. Through the study, the characteristics of Depaysement in the contemporary fashion window display were classified into 'Change of forms and materials', 'Heterogeneous combination of objects', 'Location change of an object', 'Conversion of recognition on an object' and 'Change of spatial awareness'. The expression approaches were 'Change of scale', 'Change of materials', 'Combination of heterogeneous objects', 'Heterogeneous combination', 'Arrangement of object in a strange space', 'Change of display method', 'Overlapped object', 'Paradoxical image', 'Variable awareness of boundary' and 'Reorganization of interior space and change of materials'.

  • Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify and describe illness experiences of men with myocardial infarction. Methods: Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews with 10 male patients. Analysis was done using phenomenological analysis. Results: Five theme clusters including 11 themes emerged. 1) "Unexpected grave disease instantly dividing life and death" describes the great ignorance of symptoms and experience as a survivor narrowly escaping death. 2) "A disease still not considered a disease" illustrates the paradoxical and confusing situation between low level of awareness of the severity of the disease and high level of reflection on their unhealthy lifestyles. 3) "Fighting against me for health" illustrates their resolution and action to maintain health while experiencing helplessness. 4) "Relationships in a no-win situation" contains defensive posture due to social stigma and the dilemma of family breadwinners. And 5) "Introspection of past and future life" describes positive turnings in life through enlightenment in addition to remorseful feeling about the past and persistent worry of death. Conclusion: Health professionals need to support men with myocardial infarction by providing family-oriented and empowerment-based self-management interventions to lead to success in their illness journey and to improve their quality of life.

  • Coarctation of aorta, a well known congenital cardiovascular defect, can be recognized in the most instances by simple finding of physical examination. This condition shortens life if untreated, but it can be corrected surgically to render the patient functionally normal. It seems relatively rare in Asian. During Six-Year period from January, 1982 through June, 1988, twenty four consecutive operations for the coarctation of the aorta were performed at Yonsei Medical Center. The patients included 14 males and 10 females in the range, 2 months and 34 years old. Associated Cardiac anomalies were patient ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, mitral valve regurgitation, aortic stenosis, double outlet right ventricle, corrected transposition of great vessel, etc. The preoperative main symptoms were frequent URI and dyspnea. Congestive heart failure was the most common symptom at the group younger than 2 year olds. Operative techniques for the coarctation of the aorta were prosthetic patch aortoplasty in 18 patients, resection & vascular graft interposition in 4, resection and end to-end anastomosis in 2. There was no operative death. Four patients had persistent or paradoxical hypertension, and one had postoperative paraplegia.

  • The clinical need for agents to modify immune response in the treatment of viral infection has lead to an increased interest in cellular and biochemical mechanisms regulating the immune response and to the development of a variety of biological and chemical substance with immunomodulatory activity. Inosiplex has shown antiviral activity in tissue culture, animal models and huamn studies through augmentation of immune response. However, the effect of inosiplex on immune response in animal has not been extensively analyzed, and the effect of inosiplex on immune response has been paradoxical depending on the time of administration of inosiplex in relation to that of antigen. Therefore, this study was undertaken to assess the effect of inosiplex on the immune response to sheep red blood cells(SRBC) in normal and viral infected mice. Inosiplex increased cellular immune response and plaque forming lymphocyte response to SRBC, decreased the recovery of S. typhimurium from infected mice spleen, and restored the depressed cellular immune response by measle and newcastle disease virus infections. All of the above results were observed only when inosiplex was given after immunization but did not when given before immunization. These results indicate that inosiplex stimulate the efferent are of immune response and may even block the afferent are, and suggest that inosiplex is a very promising drug in therapy of many viral infections.

  • This is a report of 3 cases of tumors, which primarily originated from ribs and the sternum. In the first case of multiple myeloma, the patient was 67 year old male with a tumor located on the middle sternum invading the manubrium and the body of the sternum manifesting symptoms after a contusion of the anterior sternum. The sternum was entirely resected and was replaced by tantalum plate to reconstruct the defective chest wall in order to prevent the paradoxical movement during respiration. In the second case of osteogenic sarcoma, the patient was 43 year old male with a tumor located on the costochondral junction of the left 5th rib for 6 months. The left 5th rib was resected between the middle part and sternochondral junction of it including tumor and adjacent soft tissues. In the third case of chondrosarcoma, the patient was 36 year old male with a tumor located near the posterior angles of the right 7th and 8th ribs manifesting back pain on the area where the tumor was located. Resection of right lower lobe was performed since direct invasion of tumor was seen in the superior segment of right lower lobe. This was followed by the resection of both 7th and 8th ribs at the area between the costovertebral junction and the portion 10 em apart from the tumor including the tumor and intercostal soft tissues. Diagnoses of 3 cases of tumors described above were confirmed by histopathologic examination postoperatively. The postoperative courses were uneventful.

  • Ventricular aneurysm which was first described by John Hunter on 18th century, has been experienced by many surgeons after successful using of cardiopulmonary bypass by Cooley on 1958. According to Gorlin, the definition of ventricular aneyrysm is portion of the ventricle which is not motile at systole (akinesis) or which has paradoxical dilatation at systole(dyskinesis). The ventricular aneurysm is classified to anatomical and functional. The anatomical ventricular aneurysm is devided into true or false again. Average age incidence is ranged from 49 to 60 and male predominance is reported. The cause is ischemic coronary artery disease in almost cases but hypertropoc cardiomyopathy, congenital abscence of myocardium, complication after mitral valvular replacement and trauma may also cause the ventricular aneurysm. Angina pectoris and congestive heart failure are most common clinical manifestations Ventricular tachycardia and systemic embolization are also complained. Using cardiopulmonary bypass, aneurysmectomy alone or combination with coronary artery revasculization are currently done for surgical treatment with steady improvenment of mortality. The first patient was 33 years old man who had true type of ventricular aneurysm on inferior wall the left ventricle near apex with protruded huge organized thrombus. The thromboembolic phenomenon was noted on both lower extremities. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, aneurysmectomy and thrombectomy were done. The aneurysmal orifice was repaired with Teflon buttless suture. The second patient was 30 years old female who had large true type of ventricular aneurysm on inferior wall of the left ventricle. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, aneurysmectomy with repair of aneurysmmal orifice defect by means of double layered Dacron patch was done with reinforce by outer silastic sheet covering. She was discharged from hospoital at post op. 15th day uneventfully.

  • The purpose of study is explaining the Historicism as a result of compromise, historical eclecticism, between historical things and current cultural background instead of regarding it as an imitation from the past. It means that external factors in history help internal esthetic value surface out as costume. Fashion s history is more than the classified thing according to the appearance with the changes of the times. Intrinsic cultural elements should be added in creating new fashion. One of the different features between Modernism and Post-modernism. When coming to the period of Post-modernism, it connected with the historical factors to make something new by fragmenting, magnifying, or minimizing them. This is calles 'Historicism'in the world of art. It revived the past, not the past itself, in new ways : quotation, reuse, metaphor, and mixture. To represent the image, parody, pastiche, or bricolage was usually used. In post-modernism fashion, parody is a technique for imitating the past or the preceding forms with artists'own critical points of view. This technique gives us shock or surprise by using satirical, ironical or paradoxical expressions. pastiche shares the same part with parody in imitating particular or unique style, and it can be renamed empty parody, because it doesn't have any hidden motivation or satirical impulse. bricolage is a mixture of quotations from other works. It contains fragments that deepen the image. Like the techniques uttered above, the revival of history through parody, pastiche or bricolage is historical eclecticism and it is included in Historicism.
