This study was conducted to investigate the infectious arthritis on pigs slaughter in eastern Kangweon. During the period of between Feb. and Nov. 1992, 459 pigs were sampled at six abattoirs. Bacterial isolation and identification were perfomed from the arthritic lesions. In addition, drug susceptibility for the major isolated microoganisms were examined. The results obtained were summarized as follows : 1. From arthritic lesions bacteria were most frequently isolated, isolation rate being 21.1%. 2. The bacteria isolated from arthritic lesion, Staphylococcus spp. (33.9%), Coli form(39.3%) were most frequently isolated, while the genera of Mycoplasma were detected less frequently. 3. Antimicrobial drug susceptibility of the major organisms showed that all the isolated bacteria were susceptible to SXT(91.0%), cephalothin(82.5%), but resisted to penicillin and streptomycin.

Lamotrigine is a newer anti-epileptic drug for adjunctive treatment of refractory epilepsy, partial seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and bipolar disorder. Lamotrigine overdose causes serious central nervous and cardiovascular problems, but reports are uncommon. Few lamotrigine overdoses have been described because anti-epileptic drug use is limited and usually used with combination of other anti-epileptic drugs. In addition, most patients visit emergency departments with multi-drug overdoses, so few cases of lamotrigine poisoning alone exist. We had a female patient visit our emergency department a couple of hours after a lamotrigine overdose treated with intravenous hydration and urine alkalization by NaHCO3. She recovered successfully without any evidence of renal injury. However, she developed profound rhabdomyolysis, a previously unreported complication of this medication. We suggest that serial creatine kinase levels should be measured after lamotrigine poisoning.

Background: Interest in subcellular organelle-targeting theranostics is substantially increasing due to the significance of subcellular organelle-targeting drug delivery for maximizing therapeutic effects and minimizing side effects, as well as the significance of theranostics for delivering therapeutics at the correct locations and doses for diseases throughout diagnosis. Among organelles, mitochondria have received substantial attention due to their significant controlling functions in cells. Main body: With the necessity of subcellular organelle-targeting drug delivery and theranostics, examples of mitochondria-targeting moieties and types of mitochondria-targeting theranostics were introduced. In addition, the current studies of mitochondria-targeting theranostic chemicals, chemical conjugates, and nanosystems were summarized. Conclusion: With the current issues of mitochondria-targeting theranostic chemicals, chemical conjugates, and nanosystems, their potentials and alternatives are discussed.

Scars can cause great psychological stress among patients. Currently, there are numerous topical agents, laser and surgical treatments available for skin rejuvenation and scar minimization. Laser-assisted drug delivery (LADD) is a treatment method that increases drug delivery by stimulating the skin physically and chemically to enhance the penetration of topical agents. This is one of the areas of great interest in the treatment of various skin diseases in addition to its use for cosmetic purposes. In particular, LADD is relatively non-invasive and has advantages in terms of accessibility and stability. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a collagen stimulator known to gradually restore skin volume by inducing inflammation and fibroplasia. Herein, we report a case of treatment of an atrophic scar with fractional carbon dioxide laser-assisted PLLA delivery.

본 연구는 국내외에서 생산되는 다양한 식용유지에 대한 탄소 안정동위원소 비율 및 지방산 조성을 분석하고, 국내 유통 식용유지의 순수 여부 등 과학적 관리 방안을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 수행되었다. 본 연구에 수집된 식용유지의 탄소 안정동위원소 비율은 참기름 등 $C_3$ 식물군, $C_4$ 식물군인 옥수수유, 유의적인 차이가 인정되는 미강유 등 총 3개 그룹으로 구분이 가능하였다. 수거된 식용유지의 지방산 조성은 각각의 지방산 마다 식용유지별로 유의성을 나타내었다. 또한, 탄소 안정동위원소 비율만으로 구분이 어려웠던 $C_3$ 식물 기원의 식용유지는 지방산을 동시 활용한 산점도 분포 분석을 통해 대표적인 저가 식용유지인 콩기름과 고가 식용유지인 참기름의 구분이 가능하였다. 따라서 탄소 안정동위원소 비율과 지방산 조성을 동시 활용하여 식용유지의 판별이 부분적으로 가능하였으며, 이는 추후 식용유지류 관리 방안으로 검토할 예정이다.

대추 추출액의 첨가량을 달리하여 제조한 식빵의 제빵적성에 요구되는 빵의 품질특성을 조사하였다. 빵의 내부색도에서 L값은 대추 추출액 첨가량이 증가할수록 유의적으로 감소하였고 a값과 b값은 증가하였다. 빵의 텍스쳐를 측정한 결과 대추 추출액 70% 첨가구까지는 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으나 100% 첨가구에서는 경도, 저작성, 검성에서 유의적인 증가를 보였다. 관능검사에서는 빵의 색상, 향미, 맛, 전반적인 기호도에서 대조구와 비교하여 대추 추출액 50% 이상 첨가구는 첨가량에 따른 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않고 높은 점수를 얻었고 조직감에서도 대추 추출액 첨가량이 증가할수록 높은 관능점수를 보였으며 70% 이상 첨가구는 더 높은 점수를 얻었다. 따라서 식빵 제조에 있어서 대추 추출액을 물 대용으로 50-70% 수준으로 첨가했을 때 빵의 품질향상에 도움을 줄 것으로 생각되며 대추의 기능성물질을 함유한 천연소재로서의 활용 가능성을 확인하였다.

In the present study, chitosan-glycerophosphate sodium salt solution as a thermosensitive system (TSS) was used to formulate a temperature-sensitive drug delivery system (TSDDS) containing acetaminophen (AAP). The optimized TSS was prepared by measuring gelation temperature, gelation time and rheological properties of TSS. The optimized gelation temperature and time of TSS were $36^{\circ}C$ and 100 seconds, respectively. The viscosity of TSS was also suitable for maintaining gel structure at $37.2^{\circ}C$. The release profiles of TSDDS in PBS/pH 7.4 with various apparatuses and mass loss of TSDDS were investigated. The time required to release 50% of AAP from TSDDS ($t_{50%}$) was 120 min with the formation of pore on the surfaces, which was 2 times longer than that from AAP-chitosan gel. In addition, TSDDS was degraded approximately 80% within 4 hr and then degraded slowly for 20 hrs. In conclusion, AAP-TSS (TSDDS) formulated in this study might be suitable for some specific uses such as subcutaneous injection and rectal formulation.

The effects of ionic strength and pH on the binding of cefazolin to bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied by UV difference spectrophotometry. As ionic strength at constant pH and temperature increases, the apparent bining constant decreased but the number of binding sites remained almost constant at 2. The constancy of the number of binding sites with increasing the ionic strength suggests that purely electrostatic forces between BSA and drug do not have great importance in the drug binding, even though there is a decrease in the apparent binding constant. Thus, the effect of ionic strength on the interaction between drug and BSA may be explained by the changes in ionic atmosphere of the aggregated BSA molecules and competitive inhibition by phosphate ions. In addition, the higher apparent binding constant at high ionic strength is explained by conformational changes of BSA from its aggregate forms into subunits. The pH effects on the afinity of interactions indicated that the binding affinity of cefazoline is higher in the neutral region than in the alkaline region. An d at high pH value, the number of binding sites decreased from 2 to 1 because of the conformational change of BSA in the alkaline region.

In the current study, a drug-eluting stent coated with biodegradable polymers and sirolimus was developed by using an ultrasonic nanocoater and characterized in aspects of surface smoothness and coating thickness. In addition, in vitro release profiles of sirolimus by changing top coating layer with different biodegradable polymers were investigated. Smooth surfaces with variable thickness could be fabricated by optimizing polymer concentration, flow rate, nozzle-tip distance, gas pressure, various solvents and ultrasonic power. Smooth surface could be generated by using volatile solvents (acetone, chloroform, and methylene chloride) or post-treating with solvent vapor. Coating thickness could be controlled by varying injection volume or polymer concentration, and higher concentration could reduce the coating time while obtaining the same thickness. The thickness measurement was the most effectively performed by a conventional cutting method among three different methods that were investigated in this study. Release profiles of sirolimus were effectively controlled by changing polymers for top layer. PLGA made the release rate 3 times faster than PDLLA and PLLA and all top layers prevented burst release at the initial phase of profiles. Our results will provide useful and informative knowledge for developing drug-eluting stents, especially coated with biodegradable polymers.
