  • Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of precocious puberty and elucidate the distinct characteristics of each type of perception related to precocious puberty among school-aged children who had undergone treatment for the condition. Methods: This study applied the Q methodology to identify and classify the perceptions of precocious puberty among school-aged children who had undergone treatment for the condition. The analysis involved 34 questions from the Q sample and data from 35 individuals in the P sample, using the PC-QUANL Program for analysis. Results: The perceptions of precocious puberty among school-aged children who had undergone precocious puberty treatment were classified into the following four types: "shyness - passive self-management," "resentment - suppression," "anxiety - fear," and "adaptation - acceptance." Conclusion: This study investigated the experiences and perceptions of children who have undergone treatment for precocious puberty. Through the identification of four types of perceptions, we can see that there is a need to develop an intervention program for nursing that is tailored to the specific type of precocious puberty.

  • 목 적 : 중추성 성조숙증 또는 조기 사춘기 소아에서 사춘기 진행의 억제를 위하여 사용하는 GnRH agonist의 적절한 용량에 대하여 논란이 많다. 따라서 치료의 표준화가 힘들고 치료에 대한 반응도 다양할 수밖에 없다. 본 연구는 중추성 성조숙증 또는 조기 사춘기 여아에서 GnRH agonist의 용량에 따른 사춘기 억제 효과를 비교하여 적당한 용량을 추정해보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2006년 6월부터 2007년 5월까지 경희대학교 동서신의학병원 소아청소년과에서 조기 사춘기 혹은 성조숙증으로 진단받고 GnRH agonist를 투여하기로 한 여아 22명을 임의로 3군으로 나눠서 1군은 leuprolide acetate $70{\mu}g/kg$, 2군은 $90{\mu}g/kg$, 3군은 $110{\mu}g/kg$을 투여하였다. 치료 전, 치료 후 6개월에 채혈하여 황체화 호르몬, 난포자극호르몬, 에스트라디올, 프로게스테론을 검사하였고, 신장, 체중, 골 연령, 성성숙도의 변화를 평가하여 modified puberty suppression score를 구하여 억제된 경우는 2점 이하인 경우로 하였다. 각각의 군에서 역연령과 골연령의 평균은 Kruskal-Wallis test로 차이의 유무를 검정하였고, 억제가 된 경우와 되지 않은 경우의 수를 비교하여 two-by-K 교차분석(카이제곱 검정)을 시행하였다. 결 과 : 1군, 2군, 3군의 치료 전 역연령은 각각 $8.7{\pm}0.9$, $8.8{\pm}1.0$, $8.7{\pm}0.8$세, 골 연령은 $11{\pm}0.8$, $11{\pm}0.9$, $11{\pm}0.8$세, 신장표준편차점수는 $1.1{\pm}0.9$, $1.1{\pm}0.9$, $1.2{\pm}0.9$, 예측 성인키의 신장표준편차점수는 $-1.4{\pm}0.8$, $-1.4{\pm}1.1$, $-1.4{\pm}0.6$으로 의미 있는 차이는 없었다. 1군, 2군, 3군의 치료 전 혈중 황체화 호르몬은 각각 $3.0{\pm}2.9$, $3.0{\pm}2.3$, $3.0{\pm}3.4IU/L$, 에스트라디올은 각각 $1.5{\pm}1.0$, $1.4{\pm}0.9$, $1.6{\pm}1.0ng/dL$로 의미 있는 차이는 없었으며, 난포자극호르몬은 각각 $4.1{\pm}2.6$, $6.3{\pm}0.3$, $3.1{\pm}2.5IU/L$, 프로게스테론은 $33.9{\pm}17.1$, $30.6{\pm}14.7$, $35.8{\pm}14.8mg/dL$로 의미 있는 차이가 있었다(P<0.05). 1군, 2군, 3군 각각의 6개월 치료 후 신장표준편차점수의 변화는 $0.3{\pm}0.4$, $0.2{\pm}0.3$, $0.1{\pm}0.1$로서 1군과 2군 간에는 의미 있는 차이가 없었으나 3군과는 의미 있는 차이가 있었다(P<0.05). 1군, 2군, 3군의 치료 후 각각의 황체화 호르몬은 $0.5{\pm}0.3$, $0.4{\pm}0.3$, $0.3{\pm}0.3IU/L$, 난포자극호르몬은 $2.4{\pm}1.8$, $1.9{\pm}1.6$, $1.3{\pm}0.9IU/L$, 에스트라디올은 $0.9{\pm}0.8$, $0.9{\pm}0.8$, $0.9{\pm}0.9ng/dL$, 프로게스테론은 $19.5{\pm}8.7$, $18.0{\pm}7.7$, $16.9{\pm}7.2ng/dL$ 로서 치료 전과 비교하여 세 군에서 모두 의미 있게 감소하였으며 특히 난포자극호르몬과 프로게스테론은 다른 군에 비하여 3군에서 더욱 의미 있게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 사춘기 억제가 된 경우는 1군 7명중 4명, 2군 7명중 5명, 3군 8명중 8명이었고, 억제가 안 된 경우는 1군과 2군에서 각각 2명씩으로 3군에서 의미 있게 억제되는 경우가 많았다(P<0.05). 3군의 2명에서 치료 초기 주사 부위의 경미한 동통 외에 특이한 부작용은 없었다. 결 론 : 조기 사춘기 여아에서 사춘기의 진행을 막기 위해서는 성선 자극 호르몬이 보다 억제 될 수 있도록 고용량의 GnRH agonist의 투여가 필요하며, 적절한 용량에 대한 보다 많은 수의 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

  • The purpose of this report is to evaluate effect of Korean medical treatment on idiopathic gonadotropin-dependent precocious puberty (G-DPP) patient received herbal medicine. We administered Aesopjiyoun-tang remedy to idiopathic G-DPP and analyzed the delay effect by hormonal value and radiographs; the height growth effect by measurement of height. After Korean medical treatment, suppression effect to peak-Luteinizing Hormone level (LHL) is 14.39IU/L to 10.9IU/L for 13month, growth effect to height value is 11cm/13month; and change of mean growth velocity (MGV) is 6.08cm/year to 10.06cm/year. The gain in height by treatment is 3.98cm/year. The result suggests Aesopjiyoun-tang can be an effective treatment for G-DPP. Herbal medicine can be used as an alternative treatment in place of the GnRH treatment.

  • In the age of puberty or 20-30th young people who are sensitive to outward appearance, acne is serious problem at beauty and has social and psychological influence on that people. So this experiment is carried out for test whether the addition temperament drugs of Yungyopaedock-san(YP) have an anti-inflammatory effect and have suppression effect on immunocyte in the state of inflammation which induced by acne. The results was as follows. 1. YP has suppress inflammatory reaction induced by carageenan. 2. YP has suppress increasing activation of abdominal cavity macrophage in the carageen and zymosan induced inflammation. 3. YP has suppress increasing activation of spleen cell in the carageenan and zymosan induced inflammation. Based on the above result, YP was improved its suppression effect to the inflammatory reaction through the suppression of spleen cell and macrophage activation. So we concluded that YP is prospected as a anti-inflammatory agent to cure inflammation induced by ance.

  • Kisspeptins (KPs) encoded by the KiSS-1 gene are C-terminally amidated peptide products, including KP-10, KP-13, KP-14 and KP-54, which are endogenous agonists for the G-protein coupled receptor-54 (GPR54). Functional analyses have demonstrated fundamental roles of KiSS-1 in whole body homeostasis including sexual differentiation of brain, action on sex steroids and metabolic regulation of fertility essential for human puberty and maintenance of adult reproduction. In addition, intensive recent investigations have provided substantial evidence suggesting roles of Kisspeptin signalling via its receptor GPR54 in the suppression of metastasis with a variety of cancers. The present review highlights the latest studies regarding the role of Kisspeptins and the KiSS-1 gene in tumor progression and also suggests targeting the KiSS-1/GPR54 system may represent a novel therapeutic approach for cancers. Further investigations are essential to elucidate the complex pathways regulated by the Kisspeptins and how these pathways might be involved in the suppression of metastasis across a range of cancers.

  • Mullerian inhibiting substance (MIS) is a member of the TGF-${\beta}$ (transforming growth factor-${\beta}$) family whose members play key roles in development, suppression of tumour growth, and feedback control of the pituitary-gonadal hormone axis. MIS is expressed in a highly tissue-specific manner in which it is restricted to male Sertoli cells and female granulose cells. The serum levels of MIS in prenatal and postnatal ICR mice were measured using the enzyme-linked immuno-solvent assay (ELISA) using the MIS/AMH antibody. Mice were grouped by age: the significant periods were at the onset of development. During sex organ differentiation, no remarkable difference between female and male foetus MIS serum levels (both<0.1 ng/ml) was observed. However, MIS serum levels in pregnant mice markedly changed (4.5~12.2 ng/ml). After birth, postnatal female and male mice serum MIS levels changed considerably (male: <0.1~138.5 ng/ml, female: 5.3~103.4 ng/ml), and the changing phase were diametrically opposed (male: decreasing, female: fluctuating). These findings suggest that MIS may have strong associations with not only develop-ment but also puberty. For further studies, establishing the standard MIS serum levels is of importance. Our study provides the basic information for the study of MIS interactions with reproductive organ disability, cancer, and the effect of other hormone or menopause. We hypothesise that if MIS is regularly injected into middle-age women, meno-pause will be delayed. We detected that serum MIS concentration curves change with age. The changing phase is different between males and females, and this difference is significant after birth. Moreover, MIS mRNA is expressed during the developmental period (prenatal) and also in the postnatal period. This finding indicates that MIS may play a significant role in the developmental stage and in growth after birth.
