옻나무에서 극성이 큰 물과 에탄올로 추출한 물질을 생쥐 뇌세포를 배양하여 glucose oxidase에 의해 생성되는 hydroxyl radical에 대한 항산화 효과와 암세포에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 먼저 항산화 효과에 있어서, $7{\sim}10$일 정도 배양된 생쥐 뇌세포에 20 mU/mL GO system을 처리한 후 물 및 에탄올 추출물 (30 mg/mL)을 일정량 첨가하여 hydroxyl radical에 대한 옻나무 추출물의 항산화 효과를 측정하였다. 그 결과 GO 20 mU/mL만을 처리한 구에서는 생쥐 뇌세포의 생존률이 52.0%인데 반하여, 옻나무 물 추출물을 1, 2, 4, 7, $10\;{\mu}L$ 첨가시 각각 60.0, 66.0, 72.0, 84.0 및 90.1%로서 첨가량이 증가할수록 매우 높은 생존률을 보였다. 이러한 경향은 에탄올 추출물의 첨가시에도 유사하였는데, $1\;{\mu}L$과 $2\;{\mu}L$ 첨가시 생존률은 55.0%와 64.0% 였고, 4, 7, $10\;{\mu}L$에서는 각각 70.0, 79.0, 91.0%로서 나타났다. 항산화력을 비교하기 위하여 잘 알려진 항산화제인 ascorbic acid를 50, $100\;{\mu}M$ 첨가시 쥐의 뇌세포의 생존률은 대조군에 대해 각각 87.0%와 90.0%이었는데 이것은 각각의 옻나무 추출물 10% $(10\;{\mu}L/well)$ 첨가시 나타났던 항산화 효과와 비슷한 결과였다. 따라서 이러한 항산화 효과에 관여하는 주요 성분을 전기영동과 작용기 분석을 통해 알아본 결과 laccase라는 물질이 주성분이라는 것과 그것은 구리를 함유한 당단백질로서 크기는 약 210 KDa과 230 KDa으로서 dimer로 되어 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한편 옻나무 추출물의 HeLa cell에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해 in vitro 방법으로서 HeLa cell에 대해 물 및 에탄올 추출물(30 mg/mL)을 최고 10% 농도까지 첨가하여 시간별로 측정한 결과 $10\;{\mu}L$(10%) 첨가 후 12시간에는 40.0%가, 48시간에는 60.0% 정도의 HeLa cell이 사멸되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 암세포 성장 억제 효과에 대한 결과는 in vivo 방법에 있어서도 유사한 결과를 얻었다. 즉 BALB/c의 복강에 CT-26 $(1{\times}10^6\;cells/mL)$을 접종한 후 종양을 발생케 한 후 옻나무 추출물을 주입시 주입 7일 후 대조군에 비해 종양크기가 현저하게 작아지는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

The biological effects of the water extracts of Rhus Verniciflua Stokes (RVS) were evaluated by protection against hydroxyl radicals. Antioxidative activities were measured using both 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and thiocyanate method. Also we used the Glucose oxidase (GO) 20 mU/$\textrm{m}{\ell}$ hydroxyl radical generating system in mouse forebrain cell culture. Water was used for ex-traction from RVS as a solvent which has high polarity especially. In DPPH method, the antioxidative activities of the crude water extract were stronger than any other extracts of low polar-solvents. In the antioxidative effects of mouse forebrain culture using 20 mU/$\textrm{m}{\ell}$ GO, cell viabilities were evaluated 65.6%, 68.8% at 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$. 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$ addition of crude water extracts (30 mg/$\textrm{m}{\ell}$) respectively. 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$ addition of crude water extracts had more than 86.1% cell viabilities, P<0.0l significantly, compared with the group treated with GO alone. In comparison with the antioxidative activities of several commercial antioxidants (ascorbic acid, $\alpha$-tocopherol, catalase, serum), 273 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$\textrm{m}{\ell}$ addition of crude water extracts (300 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$\textrm{m}{\ell}$) showed equivalent antioxidative effect to 25 uM ascorbic acid.

Objectives: Advanced malignant melanoma (MM) has a poor prognosis, with an expected 2-year survival rate of 10 to 20%. It has long been recognized as an immunogenic tumor, and is worse for elderly patients. Many studies have suggested that herbal treatments improve immune functions, but few clinical studies have reported on this topic. Patients and History: We present two cases of female patients (72 and 77 years old, respectively) with advanced MM. The 72-year-old female patient was, at first, diagnosed with MM with multiple bone metastases. She received resection of the primary lesion, but refused further chemotherapy. The 77-year-old female patient was diagnosed with cutaneous MM of the left heel, with suspicion of sentinel node lymphadenopathy; however, she also refused any conventional treatment due to old age. Course of Therapy and Results: Both patients were exclusively treated with standardized allergen-removed Rhus verniciflua stokes (aRVS) extract combined with Bojungikki-tang (BT, Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang in Chinese or Hochu-ekki-to in Japanese). Both patients are still alive and doing well (Feb. 2014), demonstrating that the 72-year-old patient has lived for 27 months and the 77-year-old patient has lived for 31 months without disease progression since the aRVS and BT administration. Conclusion: We suggest that the combination of aRVS extract and BT could be a candidate for overcoming the cancer's immunoediting process especially for elderly MM patients intolerant of conventional treatment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to perform an operating room nursing activities analysis and estimate nursing intensity of each nursing activity based on the Relative Value Scale (RVS). Methods: The methodology for this study of RVS was based on the work of Hsiao et al. The first stage was to identify nursing activities and the second to measure intensity of nursing activities including technical skill, mental effort, and stress. Results: Calculation of the RVS for 99 nursing practices showed a score range from 300.00 to 1337.78. CS operation assistant, OS operation assistant, and obtaining certification had high nursing intensity. Surgical hand washing, putting on surgical gowns, surgical gloves and surgical caps and mask had low nursing intensity. Conclusion: The activities of operating room are not compensated separately but reimbursement is usually included in physician fees. In the future, an estimation of nursing cost should show the nursing contribution rate to total operation revenue.

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality and overall treatment outcomes for lung cancer are still to be considered disappointing despite of development of new medical therapeutics on cancer. Cytostatic agents are considered as novel medication in the treatment of cancer though its benefit is most appropriately assessed through survival end points rather than the objective-response end points. We present a case of a lung adenocarcinoma patient who showed tumor lesion in patient's two different lung sites. From the day of diagnosis, the tumor lesion stayed with the almost same size with more than 1 year of Allergen-Removed Rhus Verniciflua Stokes (A-RVS) based Traditional Korean Medicine treatment without any western conventional treatment. No significant side effect was noted and the patient maintained good performance status throughout the treatment period. We assume A-RVS may have cytostatic effect on NSCLC patient and our observation justifies further investigation.

As the occurrence rate of terror and hazard is increasing throughout the world, GSA, DoD, and FEMA are proceeding a study about mitigating the damage of terror. Korea is no more a safe place from the terrorist's threat, so we need to make measures against them. In this study we developed modified RVS System by revising some items to adjust the system to the domestic condition and conducted a risk assessment on several tall buildings in Korea. By using IRVS system which is developed by DHS, we also carried out the risk assessment. Comparing the results between RVS with IRVS, we performed terror risk evaluation of tall buildings. Through risk assessment of several tall buildings, we analyzed key factors of each scenarios and suggested the mean value of each items, so we would like to help the counter-terrorism in the design phase.

The optimal structure of 1-3 piezocomposites has been determined by controlling polymer properties, ceramic volume fraction, thickness of composite and aspect ratio of the composite to maximize the TVR (transmitting voltage response), RVS (receiving voltage sensitivity) and FBW (fractional bandwidth) of underwater acoustic transducers. Influence of the design variables on the transducer performance was analyzed with equivalent circuits and the finite element method. When the piezocomposite is vibrating in a pure thickness mode, inter-pillar resonant modes are likely to occur between lattice-structured piezoceramic pillars and polymer matrix, which significantly deteriorate the performance of the piezocomposite. In this work, a new method to design the structure of the 1~3 type piezocomposite was proposed to maximize the TVR, RVS and FBW while preventing the occurrence of the inter-pillar modes. Genetic algorithm was used in the optimal design.

양식넙치의 병원바이러스인 HRV 및 FBV, 연어과 유래 바이러스이면서 해산어에 병원성을 나타내는 RVS를 대상으로 넙치사육해수, 2차증류수 및 Hanks' BSS중에서의 바이러스 감염가의 변화를 관찰하고 사육해수중에 존재하는 미생물과의 상호작용을 검토하였다. HRV, FBV, RVS의 감염가는 2차증류수 및 Hanks' BSS중에서 21일간 안정적이었으나, 사육해수 중에서 HRV는 $0^{\circ}C$를 제외한 5, 10, 15, $20^{\circ}C$의 실험구에서 바이러스 현탁후 7일째 부터 감염가의 저하를 확인할 수 있었고, RVS에서도 감염가의 하락이 확인되었다. HRV 및 RVS를 고압멸균, 여과처리 및 무처리 사육해수에 현탁시켜 본 결과 무처리 사육해수에서 바이러스감염가의 하락을 나타내는데 비하여 고압멸균 및 여과 처리한 사육해수중의 바이러스 감염가는 비교적 안정적이었다. 사육해수에 1% MEM10을 첨가하여 $15^{\circ}C$에서 7일간 배양한 후 여과 처리하여 얻은 여과액에 HRV를 현탁시켜 감염가의 변화를 관찰한 결과 1일에서 3일째에 감염가가 검출한계 이하로 하락하였으며, 해수배양액내의 세균 수는 $8.1{\times}10^8$ cells/ml이었고, Pseudomonas, Achromobacter, Flavobacterium 및 Vibrio속 세균이 분리되었다. 분리된 Pseudomonas 및 Vibrio속의 대표주에서 항바이러스작용 물질의 생산이 확인되었다.
