This observation was aimed to evaluate the clinical manifestations and clinical incidence of $Beh{\varsigma}et's$ Disease. It was records of patients seen in the period between January 1992 and December 1998 at the Department of Dermatology, Oriental Medical Hospital, Kyung Hee University. $Beh{\varsigma}et's$ Disease is a chronic, systemic disease which manifests itself as recurrent, multiple lesions in many organs, including the skin. The clinical features of $Beh{\varsigma}et's$ Disease are important as there is no reliable method of laboratory diagnosis. The results were summarized as follows; 1. The total number of patients were 34, including $42\%$ male and $52\%# female. 2. The pick incidence of age group was 30 to 39($44\%$). 3. The most frequent duration was from 2 years to 5 years($41\%$). 4. According to Diagnostic Criteria of the $Beh{\varsigma}et's$ Disease Research committee of Japan, there were $41\%\;of\;Incomplete\;type,\;29\%\;of\;Suspected,\;24\%\;of\;Complete,\;6\%$ of Passible. 5. The most common major symtom is a oral u1cer($91\%$), and there were erythema nodosum like lesion($79\%$), genital ulcer($56\%$), problem of the eyes($38\%$). 6.

Beh$\c{c}$et's disease has rarely been reported in association with malignant diseases. In most cases the autoimmune nature of the disease itself or immunosuppressive drug use has been blamed for malignant transformation. Solid tumors in addition to lymphoid and hematological malignancies are also seen during the course of Beh$\c{c}$et's disease. We present here a case of colon cancer in a 40-year-old man with Beh$\c{c}$et's disease. A near total colectomy was performed and postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy was administered to treat visceral peritoneal invasion. Recurrent evidence was not found. We present the clinical details of this rare case of colon cancer with Beh$\c{c}$et's disease.

To elucidate a potential contribution of endotheline-1[ET-1] to the genesis of pulmonary hypertension and postoperative pulmonary hypertensive crisis in the patients with heart disease, we measured plasma levels of the ET-1 during perioperative period of open heart surgery. In addition, we examined changes of ET-1 during perioperative period and correlations between ET-1 levels and hemodynamic variables. 12 patients including 5 acquired heart disease and 7 congenital heart disease patients were selected randomly as a study group, Group A and B, respectively. 6 patients proved not having heart or hemodynamic problem were selected as a control, Group C. 110 blood samples from pulmonary artery[ET-P] and radial artery[ET-S] were taken and assayed by Sep-pak extraction and RIA. ET-1 levels of Group A were ET-P, 3.94$\pm$5.31pg /ml, ET-S, 3.10$\pm$2.90pg/ml[p>0.05], Group B were ET-P, 1.63$\pm$0.62pg/ml, ET-S, 1.99$\pm$2.45pg/ml[p>0.05], Group C were ET-P, 1.97$\pm$2.02pg/ml, ET-S, 1.72$\pm$0.77pg/ml[p>0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences of ET-1 levels among the Group A, B, C[p>0.05]. There was no correlation between pulmonary artery pressure[PAP] and ET-1 level[p>0.05], and ET-1 levels were not increased even in the cases of pulmonary hypertensive criwis or low cardiac output syndrome, whereas significant correlation between ET-S and pulmonary vascular res-istance[Rp] [r=0.36, p<0.05], and negative correlation between ET-S and OS saturation of pulmonary artery[OS-P][r= -0.49, p<0.01] were identified. Another significant finding was peak increase of ET-1 levels in the postoperative period 1 hour[p<0.05] and then gra-dualy decrease through the postoperative period. In conclusion, ET-1 has no correlation with PAP, whereas correlation with Rp, and inverse correlation with OS-P. It is suggested that ET-1 is neither the direct causative substance of pulmonary hypertension nor pulmonary vasospasm but there must be increased production of ET-1 in chronic pulmonary hypertensive state. Counter-regulatory mechanism to ET-1 is speculated during the pulmonary vasospasm.

Essential tremor(ET) is the most common movement disorder however there has been little agreement in the neurologic literature regarding diagnostic criteria for ET. Familial ET is an autosomal dominant disorder presenting as an isolated postural tremor. The main feature of ET is postural tremor of the arms with later involvement of the head, voice, or legs. In previous studies, it was reported that ET susceptibility was inherited in an autosomal dominant inheritance. As with previous results, it would suggest that ET might be associated with defect of mitochondrial or nuclear DNA. Recent studies are focusing molecular genetic detection of movement disorders, such as essential tremor and restless legs syndrome. Parkinson's disease(PD) is a neurodegenerative disease involving mainly the loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra by several factors. The cause of dopaminergic cell death is unknown. Recently, it has been suggested that Parkinson's disease many result from mitochondrial dysfunction. The authors have analysed mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) from the blood cell of PD and ET patients via long and accurate polymerase chain reaction(LA PCR). Blood samples were collected from 9 PD and 9 ET patients. Total DNA was extracted twice with phenol followed by chloroform : isoamylalcohol. For the analysis of mtDNA, LA PCR was performed by mitochondrial specific primers. With LA PCR, 1/3 16s rRNA~1/3 ATPase 6/8 and COI~3/4 ND5 regions were observed in different patterns. But, in the COI~1/3 ATPase 6/8 region, the data of PCR were observed in same pattern. This study supports the data that ET and PD are genentic disorders with deficiency of mitochondrial DNA multicomplexes.

Discrimination of Parkinson's disease (PD) from Essential tremor (ET) is often misdiagnosed in clinical practice. Since tremor is time-varying signal, and dominant and harmonic frequencies are shown in tremor only with moderate or severe symptom, there are some limitations to use frequency related features. Moreover, patients with PD or ET can suffer from both resting tremor and postural tremor. In this study, 28 patients with PD and 17 patients with ET were enrolled. Tremor was measured with accelerations on the more affected hand during resting and postural conditions. The ratio of root mean square (RMS) of resting tremor to RMS of postural tremor, the mean coefficients of autocorrelation function (ACF), and the mean of differences of two adjacent coefficients of ACF at resting and postural were calculated and compared between PD and ET. The performance showed 98% accuracy with support vector machine and leave-one-out cross validation. In addition, the method accurately differentiated the patients with tremor-dominant PD from patients with ET, with 100% accuracy. Therefore, the developed algorithm can assist clinicians in diagnosing and categorizing patients with tremor, especially, patients with mild symptom or the early stage of a disease, for proper treatment.

시상은 체감각 정보를 처리하는데 있어서 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 부위이다. 본 연구는 운동장애 환자의 시상에서 뉴론의 활동 특성을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 그 결과 체감각으로서의 운동자극에 반응하는 뉴론이 essential tremor (ET) 환자의 nucleus ventralis intermedius (VIM)에서 발견되었다. ET 환자 뉴론의 평균 활동율(firing rate)은 Parkinson's disease (PD) 환자 보다 높았다. 또한 ET 환자의 VIM에서 운동자극에 반응하는 뉴론의 평균 활동율은 PD 환자 보다 높았다. 하지만 촉각자극(touch)에 반응하는 nucleus ventralis caudalis (VC) 뉴론의 활동율은 ET와 PD 집단간에 차가 없었다. Bursting activity를 나타내는 뉴론은 nucleus ventralis oralis anterior (VOP)에서 ET집단이 PD 집단보다 적었다. tremor cell은 VIM에서 PD 보다 ET집단이 더 적었다. 이러한 결과는 체감각 자극에 반응하는 시상 뉴론의 특성이 운동장애의 유형에 따라 서로 다르다는 것을 시사한다.

소목추출물을 제조하여 가축질병에 관련이 있는 균에 대한 항균활성을 조사하였다. 소목추출물은 그람양성균에 대해 높은 항균활성을 보였으며 그 중 S. epidermidis에서 가장 높은 항균활성을 보였다. 소목추출물의 최소저해농도는 MeOH추출물은 0.8∼16 mg/ml 범위였으며 EtOH츤출물은 0.8∼10 mg/ml농도에서 항균활성을 보였으며 소목 분회물의 항균활성은 EtOAc층이 가장 높은 활성을 나타냈다. 열에 의한 항균활성 변화에 있어서는 대부분의 균주에서 항균력은 안정적이며 pH에 의한 항균활성의 변화에서 S.aureus와 Sal. typhimurum에서 산 처리 시 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 대부분의 균주에서 안정적이었다. 소목 추출물의 미생물증식억제 효과를 조사하기 위해 증식배지에 0, 100, 300및 500 ppm의 추출물을 첨가하여 균주의 증식 억제효과를 조사하였다. 그람양성균인 S. aureus 와 S. epidermidis는 첨가농도에 관계없이 배양 후 72시간까지 증식이 정지된 상태를 보였으며 그람 음성균에서는 100ppm이상 첨가 시 증식이 저지되거나 억제효과가 있었다. 이런 결과를 종합하면 소목 추출물은 그람음성균에 비해 그람양성균에 더욱 효과적인 항균활성이 있다고 보여 진다.

본 연구는 단삼 분획추출물로부터 in vitro와 in vivo상에서 QR과 GST의 활성 유도와 GSH의 함량변화를 지표로 암예방 효과를 측정하였다. Hepalcla7 세포에 대한 in vitro상에서의 실험결과 QR 활성 유도율은 70% EtOH 추출물 50 ${\mu}g/ml$ 처리군에서 2.5배로 가장 높은 유도율을 나타내었고, GST 활성 측정은 EtOAc추출물 50 ${\mu}g/ml$농도에서 1.4배의 유도율을 나타내었다. GSH 생성변화를 살펴본 결과에서는 $H_2O$추출물, 70% EtOH 추출물 그리고 water layer 추출물 50 ${\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 높은 생성율을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과에서 QR활성과 GSH 함량변화에서 높은 증가효과를 나타낸 70% EtOH 추출물을 관류법으로 마우스에 투여하여 in vivo 상에서의 QR과 GST의 활성 변화와 GSH 함량을 측정한 결과 QR, GST활성과 GSH함량이 250 mg 투여시 각각 1.7배 및 1.5배의 활성 증가와 1.4배 함량증가를 측정할 수 있었음으로 70% EtOH추출물은 암예방효과가 가장 높은 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives: The prevalence of Parkinson's disease is on an upward trend along with an increase in the aging population but there is no available treatment that halts the progression of neurodegeneration. This study reports a numerical analysis on Donguibogam and suggests novel herbal drugs, which have never been researched before but found to be deemed effective in this study. Methods: Referring to 71 Korean medicine symptom terms that represent the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, 4170 prescriptions described in Donguibogam were classified into two groups based on whether their main effects were effective for Parkinson's disease or not. Comparing the two groups, the chi-square test was performed to select statistically significant herbs, while the t-test, Wilcoxon test, and descriptive statistics were performed to determine the appropriate dose. Results: One hundred and twenty-seven prescriptions effective for Parkinson's disease were identified. The chi-square test determined 17 herbs that are effective for symptomatic treatment. Among the medicinal herbs, the authors suggest Osterici seu Notopterygii Radix et Rhizoma, Ephedrae Herba, Aconiti Tuber, Myrrha, Sinomeni Caulis et Rhizoma, and Aconiti Kusnezoffii Tuber as herbal candidates that have never been studied for Parkinson's disease. Through the statistical tests, it was judged that the mean value of the dose of the entire prescription was the appropriate dose for each herb. Conclusions: Seventeen herbs were selected for Parkinson's disease and the appropriate daily dose were calculated. Furthermore, this study presented a new process that applies a statistical method to traditional medical literature and preselecting herbs deemed effective for specific diseases.
