Facial diplegia (FD) rarely occurs as a regional Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) variant. A 70-year-old male presented with bifacial weakness that had started on the left side and extended to the right after several days. He was then treated using steroids and gradually improved. Serum antiganglioside antibody testing revealed positivity for anti-GM1 IgG antibodies. FD can be idiopathic, but it is an uncommon GBS variant. The ganglioside antibody test may increase the possibility of diagnosing isolated FD.

1984년 1월부터 1986년 6월까지 30개월간, 확진된 뇌 유구낭미충증 환자 69명에 대하여 혈청학적 추적검사를 실시하였다. 환자는 모두 치료전에 뇌전산화 단층 촬영을 실시하였고 효소면역측정법에 의하여 혈청 및 뇌척수액의 특이 IgG 항체가를 측정하였다. 프라지콴텔에 의한 약물 치료는 $3{\times}25mg/kg$의 용량으로 $4{\sim}14$일간 실시하였다. 추적기간 및 회수는 환자마다 달랐으며 최대 추적기간은 22개월이었다. 추적검사용 혈청 및 뇌척수액은 $-40^{\circ}C$에 보관한 후 낭액항원, 낭벽항원 및 두절항원에 대한 IgG 항체가를 일시에 측정하였다. 프라지콴텔 투여후 $1{\sim}4$개월 사이에 환자의 대부분에서 혈청 및 뇌척수내 특이 IgG 항체가는 일시적으로 상승하였다. 치료 직후부터 항체가가 저하하는 환자가 있었으나 소수이었다. 프라지콴델 투여시의 부작용을 줄이기 위해 덱사메타손을 투여하면 항체가 상승은 억제되었다. 프라지콴텔 치료후 혈청내 항체가 평균치의 변동이 뇌척수액내 항체가 평균치의 변동보다 심하였고, 항체가의 변화율은 낭벽항원이나 두절항원에 대한 항체에서 낭액항원에 대한 항체에서 보다 컸으나 항체가 변동폭은 낭액항원에 대한 항체가 더 컸다. 대상 환자 69명중 혈청학적으로 음성이었던 6명중 1명은 치료후 뇌척수액내 낭액항원에 대한 항체가가 양성범위로 전환하였다. 프라지콴텔 투여후 항체가의 상승은 뇌 유구낭미충증의 혈청학적 진단에서 보조적으로 이용할 수 있다고 생각하였으며 추적기간으로는 투여후 1개월이 적합하다고 생각하였다. 치료후 6개월내지 22개월까지 추적검사한 환자 15명중 혈청과 뇌척수액에서 모두 음성으로 전환한 예는 1례뿐이었고 혈청이나 뇌척수액 어느 하나에서라도 음성으로 전환한 예도 3례에 불과하였다. 만성 경과를 취한 심한 뇌 유구낭미충증 환자에서의 혈청학적 음성전환은 관찰 기간중 없었다. 추적 검사증 급성 뇌염증상이 나타난 만성환자에서는 일시적으로 두절항원에 대한 항체가가 상승하고 있었다. 이상의 결과에서 뇌 유구낭미충증 환자를 프란지콴텔로 치료한 다음 면역효소측정 법으로 혈청학적 추적검사를 실시할 경우 투약후 매 1년에 한번씩 실시하면 완치된 환자를 감별할 수 있을 것으로 생각하였다.

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of dietary zinc level on growth performance and immune function in normal (Experiment 1) and immunologically challenged (Experiment 2) weanling pigs. Treatments consisted of the following: i) a corn-soybean meal basal diet containing 36.75 mg/kg total Zn, ii) basal diet+60 mg/kg added Zn as $ZnSO_{4}$, iii) basal diet+120 mg/kg added Zn as $ZnSO_{4}$. Each diet was fed to six pens of four pigs per pen (Exp. 1) or six pens of three pigs per pen (Exp. 2). In Exp. 1, the dietary zinc level had no effect on average daily growth (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), or feed conversion ratio (FCR). Concentrations of tissue and serum zinc were not affected. Peripheral blood lymphocyte proliferation (PBLP) was not affected by dietary treatments. Supplementation of 120 mg/kg Zn decreased (p<0.05) the antibody response to bovine serum albumin (BSA) on d 7 compared with pigs fed the basal diet, but not on d 14. In Exp. 2, LPS challenge had no effect on ADG, ADFI and FCR in the entire trial (from d 0 to 21). LPS challenge significantly decreased ADG and ADFI (p<0.01) from d 7 to 14, but FCR was not affected. LPS challenge increased PBLP (p<0.05) and serum concentration of interleukin-1 (IL-1) (p<0.01), whereas the antibody response to BSA and serum concentration of interleukin-2 (IL-2) were not affected. Supplementation of Zn did not affect ADFI and FCR from d 7 to 14, but there was a trend for ADG to be enhanced with Zn supplementation (p<0.10). Supplementation of Zn tended to increase PBLP (p<0.10). Dietary treatment had no effect on the antibody response to BSA or concentrations of serum IL-1 and IL-2. Results indicate that the level of Zn recommended by NRC (1998) for weanling pigs was sufficient for optimal growth performance and immune responses. Zn requirements may be higher for pigs experiencing an acute phase response than for healthy pigs.

The effect of rancid perilla oil on the immune response in mice was studied. ICR male mice were divided into 5 groups and were fed on the experimental diets for 4 weeks. Mice were sensitized and challenged with sheep red blood cell. Immune responses were evaluated by antibody production, Arthus reaction, delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH), Rosette forming cell and macrophage activity. Biochemical items were measured by serum protein and serum albumin. The weight of spleen, thymus and liver were measured. The rancid perilla oil diets decreased humoral and cellular immune responses, the number of peripheral circulating white blood cells and total protein and serum albumin. These results showed that the high rancid perilla oil diet decreased more humoral and cellular immune response, the number of peripheral circulating white blood cells, and total protein and serum albumin than the low rancid perilla oil diet did.

A simpled and sensitive microplate enzyme immunoassay(EIA) was developed for the determination of progesterone concentration in serum, based on progesterone monoclonal antibody as anti-progesterone, horseradish peroxidase(HRP) as enzyme-label and tetramethylbenzidine(TMB) as substrate. The assay has a sensitivity of 5 pg-120pg/well and intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation for progesterone standard curve (1.0ng~10.0ng/ml) were ranged 2.5~9.9% and 1.7.8.0%, respectively, determination coefficient of the regressio equation of our standard curve(R2=0.990$\pm$0.007) were high, and this is the same level as that of commercial kit(Hormonost Bio-Lab, Germany, R2=0.98~0.99). The progesterone concentration of serum determined by both kits (Work & Bio-Lab) were significantly correlated (r=0.95, P<0.01) although a little higher value were resulted in our kit than that of commercial kit. It generally is these results indicated that the microplate-EIA can be cused for the determination of progesterone in serum, as well as, for the determination of the early pregnancy diagnosis.

A considerably high rate of abnormal deliveries of unknown etiology was observed among dairy cattles from November 1988 to February 1989 and Korean native tattles from January to April 1990. The abnormal deliveries consisted of abortions, stillbirths and calf deformities refers to as congenital arthrogryposis hydranencephaly (AH )syndrome. In order to know the level of Akabane antibody of dairy cattle raised in Kyungbuk province, serum neutralization test was conducted with Akabane virus(OBE-1 strain) and HmLu(Hamster lung) cell line. The results were summarized as follows. 1. During 4 months(Nov. 1988-Feb. 1989), abortion (3 heads), stillbirth(1 head) and congenital abnormalities(13 heads) of newborn were occurred in 17 dairy cattles raised in Kyungbuk province. 2. During 4 months(Jan.-Apr.1990), stillbirth(2 heads) and congenital deformities (13 heads) of newborn were occurred in 15 Korean native tattles raised in Kyungbuk province. 3. In Fev, and Apr. 1990, 1,005 dairy cattles at 99 farms were investigated on the actual condition of possessing Akabane antibody. The result was that 1,000 heads (99.9%) in 1,005 dairy cattles reacted as positive condition in Akahane antibody. The antibody titer was from 4 to over 256. 4. 189 heads (18.8%) of 1,005 dairy cattles werw below antibody titer 8 and 816 heads (81.2%) were over 16. 5. Akabane antibody titer of east coast legions(Pohang Yeongil etc) was all over 16, that of internal legions (Yeongiu, Andong. etc) was relatively low, The result suggest that the vaccination for Akabane disease will be unnecessary for the time being because of possessing higher antibody titer reaction except the newly introduced cattle and Akabane virus was widely disseminated in kyungbuk province during the summer months in 1987 or 1988.

적혈구 동종면역은 수혈자와 공여자간의 적혈구 항원의 차이이다. 수혈을 위해서는 혈구형과 혈청형이 일치하지 않으면 적혈구 항체 선별 검사가 필요하며 불일치의 원인을 해명하는 것이 필수적이다. 적혈구 항체 선별검사는 임상적으로 유의한 항체를 검출하고, 신속 정확하며, 신뢰할 수 있는 방법으로 수혈에 앞서 우선적으로 하는 것을 권장한다. 본 연구자들은 다빈도로 검출된 E, D, M, E+c, C+e 항체에 대한 선별검사를 보고하였다. 따라서 이러한 결과로 항-D, 항-E의 항체가 신생아 용혈성 질환, 지연형 용혈성 수혈부작용 반응의 위험요인으로 인식하고자 한다. 또한 혈액안전관리를 적용하기 위해 적합한 항체선별검사가 요구되고, 수혈 위험요인의 선별에 있어 더 나은 효율성을 제공할 것이며 향후에 각 국가에 따라 실질적인 검출빈도를 찾는 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Thirty-eight patients with metastatic well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma treated with 200mCi $^{131}I$ were studied. There were false negative serum thyroglobulin values during TSH suppression or at anti-thyroglobulin antibody(+) and discrepancies between findings of whole body scan and serum thyroglobulin level. After one to five cycles of 200mCi $^{131}I$ therapy, complete remission and partial remission were achieved at 5.3% and 57.9%, respectively. We concluded that all of serum thyroglobulin, TSH, anti-thyroglobulin antibody, $^{131}I$ or $^{123}I$ whole body scan were necessary in follow up of metastatic well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Also, if there was no response after repetitive 200mCi $^{131}I$ therapy, higher doses of $^{131}I$ therapy should be considered.
