cis-Dichlorodiammineplatinum (II) (cis-Platin), a metallic compound, has widely been used as an effective anticancer chemotherapeutic agent. The precise mechanism of action of this agent is still unknown, but it is postulated that cis-Platin may act on the cancer cell like bifunctional alkylating agents. Although this agent is very beneficial to the patients with cervical cancer, germinoma of testis, neuroblastoma and others, it may also damage to the normal cell so that many side effects; severe hemorrhagic enterocolitis, bone marrow depression, renal damage and liver damage will develope. This experiment has been undertaken to pursue the cytotoxic effects of the cis-Platin on the ultrastructures of the interalveolar septum in the mouse lung. A total of 55 healthy male mice of ICR strain were used as experimental animals and divided into 5 mice of normal control group and 50 mice of cis-Platin treated group. The mice of cis-Platin treated group were sacrificed by carotid exsanguination at 6, 12, 24 hours, 3 days and 7 days after intraperitoneal injection of 6.0 mg of cis-Platin ($Abiplatin^R$ Abic Co. Ltd.) per kg of mouse body weight. The specimen obtained from the lower lobe of left lung were sliced into $1mm^3$ and prefixed with 2% glutaraldehyde -2.5% paraformaldehyde solution prepared with Millonig's phosphatae buffer solution (pH 7.4) at $4^{\circ}C$ for 3-4 hours. After postfixation with 1% osmium tetroxide solution all specimens were embedded in Epon 812. Ultrathin sections about $600-800{\AA}$ in thickness were stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate and observed with Hitachi-600 electron microscope. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Local swellings with increase of electron density and number of pinocytic vesicles in the cytoplasms of the type I pneumocyte and endothelial cell of the blood air barrier in interalveolar septum of cis-platin treated mice were observed. 2. Cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum were dilated and sacculated in association with detachment of membrane bound ribosomes of the type II pneumocyte in interalveolar septum of cis-Platin treated mice. 3. Swollon mitochondria with uneven electron density of their matrix were observed in the type II pneumocyte of interalveolar septum in the cis-Platin treated mice. 4. The lamellae of lammelar bodies in type II pneumocyte of interalveolar septum in cis-Platin treated mice were devoided or transformed into homogeneous electron dense material. It is consequently suggested that cis-Platin would induce the cellular edema of type I pneumocyte and endothelial cell, and degenerative changes of cytoplasmic organelles of the type II pneumocyte in the interalveolar septum of the mouse lung.

목 적: 항산화 효소인 peroxiredoxin (Prx) I과 II가 유해자극에 의해서 유발되는 세포내 반응성 산소족(reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 방어기전에 관여하는지 알아보고자 이 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: SK-N-BE2C (신경아세포종세포)와 Rat2 (섬유모세포)에서 PrxI과 PrxII 발현을 보기 위하여 방사선조사, cisplatin 단독투여 및 cisplatin-방사선조사병합투여 후에 PrxI과 PrxII에 대한 western blot을 시행하였다. 또한 N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC)에 의하여 PrxI과 PrxII 발현에 미치는 영향과 세포생존율을 함께 조사하였다. 두 종류 세포에 방사선조사, 다양한 농도의 cisplatin을 단독투여 및 방사선조사와 병합투여 시 생존율을 각각 분석하였고 SK-N-BE2C의 각 군에서 시간별 생존율을 관찰하였다. 결 과: PrxI의 발현은 SK-N-BE2C에서 방사선조사 후 60분까지 증가하였으나 NAC 전처치한 경우 방사선조사 후 60분에서는 대조군에 비하여 약간 증가하였다. Rat2에서는 방사선조사 후 NAC 전처치 여부에 관계없이 증가하지 않았다. PrxII의 발현은 두 가지 세포 모두에서 방사선조사와 NAC 전처치 여부에 관계없이 증가하지 않았다. SK-N-BE2C와 Rat2에서 다양한 농도의 cisplatin 단독투여나 cisplatin-방사선조사병합시에는 PrxI 및 PrxII의 발현은 증가하지 않았다. SK-N-BE2C와 Rat2에서 NAC 전처치 여부에 따른 방사선조사군 및 cisplatin-방사선조사병합군의 생존율을 각각 비교한 결과 PrxI의 발현이 증가되었고, NAC 전처치하였으며 cisplatin의 농도가 낮을수록 유의하게 생존율이 높았다. SK-N-BE2C에서 NAC를 전처치한 방사선조사군의 생존율이 NAC 전처치 안한 방사선조사군에 비하여 높은 경향만 보였으나, Rat2에서는 유의한 차이로 NAC를 전처치한 방사선조사군의 생존율이 높았다. SK-N-BE2C에서 시간별 생존율을 측정한 결과는 방사선조사군과 cisplatin-방사선조사병합군을 비교하면 방사선조사군이 빠른 세포생존율의 감소를 보였으며 12시간 때에 최대의 차이를 보였으나 48시간에서는 cisplatin-방사선조사병합군의 세포생존율이 유의하게 낮았다. 결 론: 방사선조사로 반응성 산소족이 증가되면 PrxI 발현이 증가되었으며 반응성 산소족 청소제인 NAC의 전처치에 의하여 PrxI의 발현이 감소되었다. Cisplatin은 PrxI의 발현을 억제하여 반응성 산소족에 의한 세포손상을 증가시키며 방사선으로 인한 세포치사효과를 증가시켰다고 판단된다. 이상의 결과로 PrxI의 발현여부가 방사선조사나 cisplatin의 세포치사기전에 부분적으로 관여하고 있을 것이라고 생각한다.

The objective of this study was to examine the psychological distress in women with breast cancer. Subjects were 25 women with breast cancer and 25 healthy women, who were recruited from January 2005 to September 2006 at Dunsan oriental hospital of Daejeon university. Psychological distress were assessed using SCL-90-R(Symptom-Check-List-90-Revised), and diagnosis of sasang constitution was done by QSCCII (Ousestionnare for Sasang Constitution Classification II). Psychological distress were significantly showed in breast cancer patients compared with healthy women. They are associated with unmarried or divorced women, lower level of education, and longer time lapse after diagnosis. Especially, phobic anxiety was significantly higher in Soeumin than Taeumin and Soyangin. These results lead us to the conclusion that it is necessary to psychological stabilization by various method in care program of breast cancer.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the relative radiopacities of cavity lining materials (Resin-modified Glass Ionomer cement, Compomer and Plowable resin) for posterior composite resin restoration. Material & Methods: Resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Fuji II LC, Vitrebond/sup TM/), Compomers (Dyract /sup (R)/ Compoglass, F2,000, Dyract/sup (R)/ flow Compoglass Flow) and Flowable resins (Tetric/sup (R)/ flow, Aeliteflo/sup TM/ Revolution/sup TM/) were used. Five specimens of 5 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick were fabricated with each material. Human molars were horizontally sectioned 2 mm thick to include both enamel and dentin. The radiopacities of enamel, dentin, cavity lining materials, aluminum step wedge were obtainded from conventional radiograph and NIH image program. Results: All the tested lining materials showed levels of radiopacity the same as or greater than that of dentin. All compomer tested (Dyract, Compoglass, F2,000, Dyract flow, Compoglass Flow) and Vitrebond/sup TM/, Tetric/sup (R)/ flow were more radiopaque than enamel. The radiopacities of Fuji II LC and Revolution/sup TM/ were between enamel and dentin and resin-modified glass ionomer cement, Compomer and Tetric/sup (R)/ flow were greater than those of Revolution/sup TM/, Aeliteflo/sup TM/ or dentin. The level of radiopacity of the tested materials was variable; those with low radiopacity should be avoided in class II restorations, where a clear determination of recurrent caries by the examining clinician could be compromised. Conclusion: Clinician should be able to distinguish these cavity lining materials radiographically from recurrent decay, voids, gaps, or other defects that lead to clinical failure. Utilization of materials ranked more radiopaque than enamel would enable clinicians to distinguish the lining material from tooth structure.

While atherosclerosis is a major killer, there is now concern that mortality from the disease will increase due to the rising incidence of type II diabetes. Because diet can potentially influence both diseases, it is important to elucidate the role of diet in the progression of atherosclerosis. In addition, the mechanisms involved in dietary-related alterations of the disease need to be defined to guide public health recommendations to reduce athero-sclerosis incidence and limiting unwanted side effects. Since diet is thought to play a role in atherosclerosis even without added complications due to type II diabetes, reducing the incidence of that metabolic disease will not be enough. While evidence is increasing that high intake of carbohydrate can lead to type II diabetes and atherosclerosis, the preponderance of existing evidence indicates that intake of specific fats as a major dietary causal factor. It has recently been hypothesized that a dietary fat link to atherosclerosis may depend partly on the activity of a transcriptional regulator, the peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPAR). Thusfar, PPAR $\alpha$, $\beta$/$\delta$ and ${\gamma}$, have been shown to play a major role in metabolism, inflammation, and cancer. Furthermore, PPAR may regulate specific processes associated with atherosclerosis such as triglyceride and low density lipoprotein (LDL) metabolism; the reverse cholesterol transport pathway; lipid accumulation within plaques; the local inflammatory response and plaque stability. Synthetic ligands for PPAR have been developed; however, natural ligands include specific fatty acids and their metabolites. Though the role of PPAR in atherosclerosis has been reported with respect to synthetic ligands, additional studies need to be done with established and possible natural ligands. In this review, we will focus on the relation of dietary fat to PPAR alteration of atherosclerosis.

This is the review of vegetational history of the post-glacial period in Korea. most of studies for vegetational changes are located in the lowland alluvial plain, especially below the hilly zone of western and eastern coastal regions of Korea. A couple of methods, pollen analysis and radiocarbon dating, have been employed in these studies. These results lead us to establish the pollen zonation in Korea as the followings. Yasuda et al.(1980) classified six period in Yongrang lake of sokcho. These are as follow I. 17,000-15,000yr B.P.: Picea, Abies, Pinus(Haploxylon), Larix stage, II.15,000-10,000yr B.P:Herb, Pteridophyta stage, III.10.000-6,700yr BP.:Quercus stage, IV.6,700-4,500yr B.P.:Pinus, Quercus, Carpinus stage, V.4,500-1,400yr B.P.:Quercus. Pinus stage, VI.1,400yr B.P.-present: Pinus, Herbs stage. Jo(1979) also divided the period into two stages from the outcomes of analysis done in Jumoonjin and other sites I.10,000-6,000yr B.P.:Quercus stage, II.6,000-present: Pinus-Quercus stage, and three substages: IIa.6,000-3,400 yr B.P.:lower Pinus stage, IIb.3,400-2,000yr B.P.:Pinus-Quercus stage, IIc.2,000-present: Pinus stage. Choi(1993, 1996) divided the period into three stages: I.6,000-5,000yr B.P.:Alnus, Quercus stage, II.5,000-4,000yr B.P.: Alnus, Quercus, Pinus stage, III.4,500-2,600yr B.P.: Alnus, Pinus stage. In the period around 6,000yr B.P. distinct dominant species clearly occupied the lowland of the eastern and western coasts. Thus, this strongly supports the fact that even if Korea experienced its warm and wet climate after the lateglacial, it underwent a different environmental change, dry climate, compared to the regions of Japan.

We have synthesized novel platinum (II) coordination complex containing cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DACH) as a carrier ligand and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (DPPE) as leaving group. Furthermore, nitrate was added to improve the water-solubility. A new series of [Pt(cis-DACH)(DPPE)] $2NO_3(PC)$ was evaluated its antitumor activity on various MKN-45 human gastric adenocarcinoma cell-lines and normal primary cultured kidney cells. The new platinum complex demonstrated high efficacy in the cytotoxicity on MKN-45 cell-lines as well as adriamycin-resistant (MKN-45/ADR) and cisplatin-resistant (MKN-45/CDDP) cells. The cytotoxicities of PC were found quite less than those of cisplatin in rabbit proximal renal tubular cells, human renal cortical cells and human renal cortical tissues using MTT assay, $[^3H]-thymidine$ uptake and glucose consumption tests. Based on these results, this novel platinum (II) coordination complex, was considered as better a valuable lead for improving antitumor activities with low nephrotoxicities in the development of a new clinically available anticancer chemotherapeutic agents.
