This study was conducted to investigate cryopreservation of pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata martensii larvae. Four cooling rates (-0.25, -0.5, -0.75 and -1.0$^{\circ}C$/min.) were used to examine a proper cooling rate during cryopreservation of trochophores before seeding temperature (-12$^{\circ}C$). Seven developmental stages (early and late trochophores, early and late D-shaped larvae and early, middle and late umbo stage larvae) and different sugars (fructose, glucose and sucrose) were used to investigate optimal larval stage and effective sugar in cryopreservation of larvae. The survival rates of frozen-thawed trochophores increased at cooling rate of -1.0$^{\circ}C$/min. As larval developing, survival rate of frozen-thawed larvae increased, except umbo stage larvae, and especially late D-shaped larvae highly survived as 91%. Addition of sugar revealed positive effect on cryopreservation in this experiment and 0.2 M glucose and sucrose mixed with 2.0 M dimethyl sulfoxide significantly enhanced survival rate of larvae (P<0.05). The results of our study indicate that desirable cooling rate, developmental stages of larvae and effective sugar far cryopreservation of pearl oyster, P. fucata martensii larvae are -1$^{\circ}C$/min, late D-shaped larvae and 0.2 M glucose and sucrose, respectively.

Until March 1991, 435 St. Jude Medical valves and 330 CarboMedics valves were implanted in 358 and 251 patients, respectively. 300 patients were male and 309 were female with the mean age of 35.6 years[from 2 month to 68 years]. 458 valves were implanted in the mitral, 272 in the aortic, 25 in the tricuspid, and 10 in the pulmonic position. Postoperatively, all patients except for very young patients were given coumadin with or without dipyridamole for anticogulation Operative mortality was 7.3%[45 deaths per 618 operations]. A total follow-up of 1244.8 patient-years was achieved for the operative survivors with a follow-up rate of 96.8%, [mean follow-up period=26.3 months /patient, ranging from 1 to 80 months]. Functional improvement was evident; 66.7% of these patients were in NYHA functional class III or IV preopratively, whereas 98.4% are in class I or II pos-toperatively. There occurred 13 late deaths[7 valve-related] and 55 valve-related complications. Linearized rates of late death and valve-related complications were 1.0%/ patient-year, 4.42%/patient-year, respectively. Rates of thromboembolism, anticoagluation-related hemorrhage were 1.12%/patient-year, 1.69% /patient-year, respectively. Actuarial survival at 5 years is 96.0% and complication-free survival at 5 years is 83.9%. No difference in survival and incidence of complications was found between the St. Jude and CarboMedics valves. On the basis of this experience, we believe that the pyrolytic carbon bileaflet mechanical valves are safe and preferable choice among current valve prostheses.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the partial split-flap technique with a K-incision on vertical guided bone regeneration (vGBR) and to retrospectively analyze the clinical and radiographic outcomes of dental implantation using this approach. Methods: In total, 78 patients who received 104 dental implants with vGBR, categorized as (1) pre-GBR and post-implantation and (2) simultaneous GBR and implantation, were enrolled. Data analysis was based on periapical radiographs, clinical photos, and dental records. The 2-sample t-test was used to compare the 2 surgical procedures. Results: The baseline vertical bone level, augmented bone height (ABH), and treatment duration were significantly higher in the pre-GBR procedure group. The survival rates of the implants were 96.1% and 94.8% in implant- and patient-based analyses, respectively. In Cox regression analysis, high rates of implant failure were found in the presence of ABH of ≥4 mm, smoking, and diabetes. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this retrospective study, the partial split-flap technique using a K-incision for vGBR showed stable clinical outcomes and favorable dental implant survival.

Background: Socioeconomic factors are associated with screening in terms of reducing the risk of cervical cancer. This study aimed to clearly establish the effect of screening on variation in socio-economic factor-specific survival estimates. Materials and Methods: Survival estimates were calculated using the life table method for 165 women from the routine care control arm and 67 from the visual inspection with acetic acid screening arm diagnosed with cervical cancer during 2000-2006 in rural south India. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to compare the variation in survival by socioeconomic factors. Results: Whereas there was a significant variation in survival estimates of the different categories of age at diagnosis among the screen-detected cancers with women aged<50 years having an improved survival, no significant variation was noted among women diagnosed with cervical cancer from the control arm. Compared to the variation among the cancer cases detected in the unscreened control group, screening widened the variation in survival estimates by age and type of house, and reduced the variation by education. The direction of the magnitude of the survival estimates was reversed within the different categories of occupation, marital status and household income in the screen-detected cancer cases compared to control group cancer cases. Also, women diagnosed with stage 1 disease had a very good survival. Conclusions: Screening changed the pattern of survival by socio-economic factors. We found improved survival rates in screened women aged <50 years, with no formal education, manual workers and married women.

Background Cutaneous malignant melanoma has a poor prognosis. The detrimental effect of incisional biopsies on the outcome of malignant melanoma has been debated. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the presence and type of biopsy on the prognosis of malignant melanoma. Methods The medical records of 109 malignant melanoma patients treated at Tokushima University Hospital from 1983 to 2007 were reviewed. After excluding 28 cases with stage 0 disease or incomplete data, 81 cases were analyzed in detail with respect to patient sex, age, tumor site, clinical stage at diagnosis, presence of ulceration or lymph node metastasis, and prognosis. The five-year survival and five-year disease-free survival rates of patients who underwent incisional or excisional biopsies were compared with those who did not undergo a biopsy. Results The male-to-female ratio was 1:1.19. The mean age was 61.3 years (range, 19-93 years). The most common site was a lower extremity, and the most common clinical stage was stage II. No significant differences in clinicopathological features, five-year survival rates, and five-year disease-free survival rates were observed among the three groups. Conclusions The presence and type of biopsy neither affected the metastatic rate nor the prognosis of malignant melanoma. The use of incisional biopsies is not encouraged because tumor thickness cannot be measured accurately. However, they may be helpful for confirming the diagnosis if an excisional biopsy cannot be performed.

본 연구는 최근 한국에서 퇴적물 독성 실험생물로 개발되고 있는 저서 단각류 Mandibulophoxus mai와 Monocorophium acherusicum의 생존과 성장 및 민감도(sensitivity)에 대한 온도의 영향를 평가하기 위한 일련의 실험으로 수행되었다. 본 연구에 사용된 각 실험 단각류의 생물학적 영향으로 각기 다른 수온 조건에서의 생존과 성장률을 통해 결정하였다. 표준 독성물질인 카트뮴(Cd)을 평가하는데 있어서 독성 민감도에 대한 온도의 영향은 각기 다른 온도에서 카드뮴이 첨가되지 않은 해수와 카드뮴이 첨가된 해수에 노출된 단각류의 생존률을 비교하여 결정하였다. 연구결과, 온도는 두 실험 단각규 모두의 생존, 성장 및 카드뮴 민감도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 평가되었다(p<0.05). 두 실험종 모두 80％이상의 생존율을 보인 온도범위는 13-22℃인 것으로 확인되었다. 두 실험종의 일일 성장률은 M. mai의 경우 20℃, M. acherusicum의 경우 25℃에서 다른 온도 조건에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 반면, Cd 민감노에 대한 영향은 M. mai는 20℃, M. acherusicum은 15℃가 다른 온도 조건에 비해 상대적으로 큰 것으로 평가되었다. 이상의 연구 결과에 근거할 때, 온도는 단각규를 이용한 치사 및 반치사 생물 검정 연구에 있어 매우 중요한 변수인 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서, 독성평가에 활용되는 생물종에 대한 적절한 실험 온도 범위를 결정하는 것은 표준 독성시험법을 개발하는데 우선적으로 고려되어야 학 사항인 것으로 사료된다.

연구배경 : Interleukin-5(IL-5)는 호산구 보이는 여러 질환들과 관련이 있으며 특히 알레르기성 천식에서 호산구의 침윤정도와 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 IL-2도 증상있는 천식환자의 기도에서 상승됨이 관찰되어 호산구 침윤정도와 상관관계가 있는 것이 밝혀졌다. IL-2가 호산구의 생존을 증가시키는 기전이 IL-5의 표현을 증가시킴으로써인지 또는 다른 경로를 통하여 작용하는 것인지 알기위해 다음과 같은 방법으로 호산구 생존에 미치는 IL-2의 영향을 관찰하였다. 방법 : 호산구증다증을 보인 환자의 말초혈액으로부터 호산구를 분리하여 trypan blue dye exclusion test를 이용하여 생존율을 측정하였으며 Randolp 용액을 이용하여 호산구를 계수하였다. 1) IL-2, IL-5 존재하의 호산구 생존율 및 IL-2와 anti IL-5 존재하의 호산구 생존율을 측정하였다. 2) IL-2 존재하의 말초혈액단핵구에서 IL-5 m-RNA 표현을 Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction(RT-PCR) 방법을 통하여 관찰하였다. 3) IL-2로 자극한 호산구의 IL-2 수용체 발현 증가를 유세포분석기(Flow cytometer)로 측정하였다. 결과 : 1) 호산구의 생존율은 IL-2 및 IL-5에 대한 농도의존성을 보이며 증가하였다. 2) IL-2에 의해 증가된 호산구의 생존율은 anti IL-5에 의해 억제되지 않았다. 3) IL-2로 자극된 말초혈액단핵구는 IL-5 m-RNA를 표현하지 않았다. 4) IL-2는 호산구에서 IL-$2{\alpha}$ 수용체의 표현을 증가시키며 IL-$2{\beta}$ 수용체의 표현은 변화가 없었다. 결론 : 사람에서는 IL-2는 IL-5 형성증가를 통하지 않고 호산구에 IL-2 수용체를 증가시킴으로써 호산구의 생존율을 증가시킨다.

The studies were carried out to investigate the effects of bisection method and with and without-zona pellucida of embryos on in vitro developmental rate bisected embryos by micromanipulator, micropipette and pipetting. The ovaries were obtained from slaughtered Korean native cows. The follicular oocytes were cultured in TCM-199 mediurn containing 10 IU /ml의 PMSG(Sigma, USA), 10 IU /ml의 hCG, 1$\mu$g /ml의 $\beta$-estradiol(Sigma, USA) and 10% FCS for 24~48 hrs in incubator with 5% $CO_2$ in air at 38.5$^{\circ}C$ and then, matured oocytes were again cultured for 12~ 18 hrs with motile capacitated sperm by preincubation of heparin. Bisected embryos cultured for 1~5 days in 20% FCS + TCM-199 medium. Survival rate was defined as developmental rate on in vitro culture or FDA-test. The results are summarized as follows :1. The survival rates of bisected bovine embryos by micromanipulator and micropipett were 29.2% and 19.1%, respectively. The rates of non-bisection embryos(46.7%) were significantly higher than those of bisection embryos. 2. The in vitro developmental rates of bisected bovine embryos by micromanipulator, micropipett and pipetting method were 32.4%, 19.4% and 25.6%, respectively.3. The in vitro developmental rates of with and without-zona pellucida of bisected bovine embryos by raicromanipulator were 30.8% and 25.0%, respectively. The rates of nonbisection embryos(53.1%) were significantly higher than those of bisection embryos.
