  • 연구배경 : 중증 지역사회획득 폐렴은 진단방법의 향상, 항생제의 개발, 조기진단 및 치료에도 불구하고 여전히 높은 사망률을 보이는 질환으로 알려져 있다. 중증 지역사회획득 폐렴의 임상적 특정을 분석하고 예후에 영향을 미치는 인자를 규명하여 치료 및 예후 판정에 도움을 주고자 한다. 방 법 : 1989년 1월부터 1996년 7월까지 한림대학교 의료원에 내원한 40명의 중증 지역사회획득 폐렴환자를 대상으로 후향적으로 분석하였다. 원인균 동정을 위해 객담배양, 혈액배양, 기관지폐포세척액배양 및 Mycoplasma pneumoniae에 대한 항체검사를 시행하였고, 초치료로 2세대 혹은 3세대 cephalosporin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 등이 사용되었으며 aminoglycoside와 macrolide가 상황에 따라 병용 투여되었다. 대상군을 생존군과 사망군으로 분류하여 연령, 흡연 및 알콜중독 유무, 기저질환 유무, 저산소 혈중, 기계적 환기의 필요, 흉부 방사선상 양측성 폐 침윤 소견, 분당 호흡수, 쇼크의 유무, 혈중요소질소 및 알부민 농도 등을 비교 분석하였다. 결 과 : 남자가 2.07 : 1의 비율로 많았고 평균 연령은 $63.1{\pm}17.5$세(범위 : 25~90세)였으며 60세 이상이 65%로 다수를 차지하였다. 흡연자가 62.5%, 알콜중독자가 30%였고, 60%에서 기저질환이 발견되었으며 종류별로는 과거의 폐결핵 병변(12.5%), 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환(7.5%), 기관지 천식(5%), 기관지 확장증(2.5%), 당뇨병(22.5%) 등이었다. 가장 흔한 원인균은 S. Pneumoniae로 17.5%였으며 S. aureus 15%, K. pneumoniae 13.5%, Mycobacterium tuberculosis 7.5%였고 그 외에 coagulase negative staphylococcus, H. influenzae, P. aeruginosa, E. cloaceae, E. coli가 각각 2.5%씩 동정되어 65%의 동정율을 나타내었다. 단독 및 병용요법에서 흔히 사용된 항생제는 aminoglycoside계(75% : 30/40), 2세대 및 3세대 cephalosporin계(40% : 16/40, 27.5% : 11/40), macrolide계(27.5% : 11/4), amoxicillin/clavulanic acid(22.5% : 9/40)의 순이었다. 사망률은 37.5%였으며 사망환자의 50%가 입원후 72시간 내에 사망하였다. 예후에 영향을 미치는 인자로는 기계적 환기의 필요, 흉부 방사선 소견상 양측성 폐침윤, 혈중 알부민 농도의 저하(3.0g/dl 이하) 등이 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 결 론 : 본 연구에서 나타난 중중 지역사회획득 폐렴의 임상적 특징과 예후인자를 바탕으로 적절한 항생제의 선택과 초기에 적극적인 진료로 치료성적을 향상시킬 것으로 기대된다.

  • IL-10-producing B (Breg) cells regulate various immune responses. However, their phenotype remains unclear. CD40 expression was significantly increased in B cells by LPS, and the Breg cells were also enriched in $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ B cells. Furthermore, CD40 expression on Breg cells was increased by IL-10, CD40 ligand, and B cell-activating factor, suggesting that $CD40^{hi}$ is a common phenotype of Breg cells. LPS-induced CD40 expression was largely suppressed by an anti-IL-10 receptor antibody and in IL-$10^{-/-}CD5^+CD19^+$ B cells. The autocrine effect of IL-10 on the CD40 expression was largely suppressed by an inhibitor of JAK/STAT3. In vivo, the LPS treatment increased the population of $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ Breg cells in mice. However, the population of $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ B cells was minimal in IL-$10^{-/-}$ mice by LPS. Altogether, our findings show that Breg cells are largely enriched in $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ B cells and the autocrine effect of IL-10 is critical to the formation of $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ Breg cells.

  • Recently a B cell surface molecule, CD40, has emerged as a receptor mediating a co-stimulatory signal for B cell proliferation and differentiation. To investigate the mechanism of synergy between interleukin-4 (IL-4) and CD40 ligation in B cell activation, we have examined the effect of CE40 cross-linking on the IL-4 receptor expression in human B cells using anti-CE40 antibody. We observed that IL-4 and anti-CD40 both induce IL-4 receptor gene expression with a rapid kinetics resulting in a noticeable accumulation of IL-4 receptor mRNA within 4 h. While IL-4 caused a dose-dependent induction of surface IL-4 receptor expression, the inclusion of anti-CD40 in the IL-4-treated culture, further up-regulated the IL-4-induced IL-4 receptor expression as analyzed by flow cytometry. Pretreatment of B cells with inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) resulted in a significant inhibition of both the IL-4- and anti-CD40-induced IL-4 receptor mRNA levels, while protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors had no effects. These results suggest that IL-4 and CD40 ligation generate B cell signals, which via PTK-dependent pathways, lead to the synergistic induction of IL-4 receptor gene expression. The rapid induction of IL-4 receptor gene expression through the tyrosine kinase-mediated signal transduction by B cell activating stimuli, would provide cells capacity for an efficient response to IL-4 in the early phase of IL-4 action, and may in part constitute the molecular basis of the reported anti-CD40 co-stimulatory effect on the IL-4-induced response.

  • 고체산 촉매인 헤테로폴리산 촉매를 이용하여 대기오염 방지를 위한 옥탄가 향상제인 TAME, ETBE 및 MTBE 합성반응에 대한 실험을 고정층 상압유통식 반응장치에서 수행하였다. 일반적으로 TAME, ETBE 및 MTBE 합성반응에서 헤테로폴리산에 hetero원자와 poly원자를 치환시켜 비교한 결과, 배위된 poly원자가 W, hetero원자가 Si인 $H_4SiW_{12}O_{40}$ 촉매의 활성이 가장 우수하였고, 또한 치환된 금속에 따라 촉매의 활성이 달랐으며 이는 촉매의 산성질과 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 헤테로폴리산 촉매를 이용한 합성반응에서 TAME 경우는 $FeHPW_{12}O_{40}$$K_3PM_{o12}O_{40}$이 비교적 활성이 좋았으나, ETBE나 MTBE 경우에 비해서는 다소 활성이 낮았다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 활성이 좋은 헤테로폴리산 촉매들을 선정하여 각각에 대하여 1:1로 다음과 같이 혼합하여 $H_4SiW_{12}O_{40}$ : $Sr_2SiW_{12}O_{40}$, $H_4SiW_{12}O_{40}$ : $NaH_2PW_{12}O_{40}$, $Fe_{1.5}PW_{12}O_{40}$ : $Mg_2SiW_{12}O_{40}$$Mg_2SiW_{12}O_{40}$ : $Ba_2SiW_{12}O_{40}$ 실험한 결과, 혼합촉매들이 각각의 단일성분 촉매때보다 TBA의 전화율과 ETBE나 MTBE의 선택율이 더욱 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다.

  • 본 연구는 LVEF값이 40% 미만인 환자와 정상인 환자의 심장 박동 수를 비교 분석하여 CCTA 검사 프로토콜의 최적화를 통한 양질의 영상, 환자피폭과 재 검률을 최소화시키기 위함이다. 각 심장박동수와 LVEF에 관계에서 LVEF가 40%이하가 될 때 true 100HU에 도달하는 시간이 오래 걸림을 알 수 있다. 그러므로, 40% 미만인 환자들에서 Premonitoring deay를 설정 할 때 5초정도 더 주어도 됨을 알 수 있었다. 조영제는 Scan time ${\times}$ 4cc + 30cc의 용량을 4cc/sec속도로 주입한 후 이어서 Saline은 모든 환자에게 40cc를 4cc/sec속도로 추가 주입하였으며, 40% 미만에서는 HR이 80이상을 제외하고는 큰 차이를 보이는 것 을 알 수 있다. 또한, 40% 미만에서는 조영제가 true 100HU에 도달하여 Scan을 시작 할 때 시간 차이가 커 조영제가 이미 Left ventricle에서 Wash-out 됐음을 예측 할 수 있었다. 40%이상의 LVEF와 정상 이하의 LVEF는 검사 도중 많은 차이를 가지고 있다. 낮은 LVEF 환자에게서 검사를 시작할 경우 따라서, 조영제 주입 프로토콜은 LVEF에 따라서 CCTA에 결정되어져야 한다. 그리고 우리가 낮은 LVEF에 따라 검사 실패를 감소시켜야 하기 때문에 낮은 LVEF의 경우에는 일반적 Pitch 보다 낮은 Pitch가 사용되어져야 한다.

  • Background: We studied the role for expression of CD40 and CD40L by CD4 and CD8 T cells in the generation of CD8 T cell response to minor histocompatibility antigen, H60. H60 is a cellular antigen to which CD8 responses require CD4 T cell help. Methods: CD40- or CD40L-deficient mice were adoptively transferred with normal CD4 or CD8 T cells or with memory CD4 or CD8 T cells, and were immunized with male H60 congenic splenocytes to induce CD8 T cell response to H60. Peripheral blood CD8 T cell from the immunized mice were stained with the H60 tetramer. Results: CD8 T cell response to H60 was not induced in both CD40- and CD40L-deficient mice. Adoptive transfer of $CD40^{+/+}$ CD8 T cells into CD40-deficient mice did not compensate the defect in inducing CD8 T cell response to H60, while the H60-specific CD8 T cells were activated in the CD40-deficient mice that were adoptively transferred with $CD40^{+/+}$ CD4 T cells. Adoptive transfer of $CD40L^{+/+}$ CD4 T cells into CD40L-deficient mice induced primary CD8 T cell response for H60 and the presence of $CD40L^{+/+}$ CD4 T cells was required even for memory CD8 T cells response to H60. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the CD40-CD40L interaction mediates the delivery of CD4 T cell help to naive and memory H60-specific CD8 T cells. While the expression of CD40L by CD4 T cells is essential, signaling through CD40 on CD8 T cells is not required for the induction of CD8 T cell response to H60.

  • 다른 분율의 Cs이 포함된 Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ 촉매를 제조하여 셀룰로우스의 폴리올로의 수소화분해반응를 수행하였다. 촉매의 비표면적과 Pt의 분산도는 Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ 촉매의 Cs 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 그러나 Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ 촉매의 Cs의 함량이 변함에도 불구하고 비슷한 폴리올 수득률을 보였다. Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ 촉매의 반응 활성은 Ni/W/SBA-15와 두 가지의 복합촉매(Pt/AC+$H_3PW_{12}O_{40}$과 Pt/AC+$Cs_{3.0}PW_{12}O_{40}$)와 비슷하였다. 이 반응을 진행하는 동안 Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ 촉매로부터 헤테로폴리 음이온이 침출되는 것을 확인하였다.

  • Background: Our previous study showed that purified protein derivative (PPD)-stimulated pleural mononuclear cells (PMC) from tuberculous pleurisy (Tbp) produced significantly more $IFN-{\gamma}$ (10- to 70-fold) after in vitro PPD stimulation than freshly isolated pleural cells from malignant pleurisy. The present study was designed to determine whether blocking the CD40-CD40 ligand (CD40L) interaction decreases $IFN-{\gamma}$ production by altering IL-12 levels. Methods: IL-12 and $IFN-{\gamma}$ production after neutralizing anti-CD40L antibody treatment was compared to the efficacy of anti-CD80, anti-CD86, and a combination of anti-CD80 and CD86 (CD80+86) monoclonal antibodies (mAb). These activities were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), after in vitro stimulation with PPO antigen (Ag). Results: Neutralization of CD80, CD86 and CD80+86 did not decrease $IFN-{\gamma}$ and IL-12 production in Tbp-PMC, whereas neutralization of CD40L significantly depressed IL-12 p40 and $IFN-{\gamma}$. In addition, neutralization of CD40L completely inhibited IL-12 p40 and $IFN-{\gamma}$ mRNA expression. Conclusion: The CD40-CD40L interaction might play a major role in IL-12 and $IFN-{\gamma}$ production in Tbp-PMC, thus contributing to protective immunity in human tuberculosis.

  • Establishment of immortalized human dermal papilla cells (DPCs) retaining the characteristics of DPCs would be a great help for hair researchers. We recently established a simian virus 40T (SV40T)-transformed human DP cell line (SV40TDPC). However, the cell line senesced around passage 25 and ceased proliferation. In this study, we introduced the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene into SV40T-DPC and established an immortalized human DP cell line. The cell line, SV40T-hTERT-DPC, did not induce tumors when inoculated into nude mice. SV40T-hTERT-DPC maintained morphology of early passage DPCs, expressed markers of DPCs, and retained responses to Wnt/${\beta}$-catenin and bone morphogenic protein (BMP) signaling pathways known to be required for hair-inducing activity of DPCs. The data strongly suggest that SV40T-hTERT-DPC retains many characteristics of human DPCs in vivo without malignant transformation.

  • The effects of various autonomic blocking agents to perivascular nerve stimulation were investigated on isolated coronary artery of pig. 1. The magnitude of contractile response to perivascular nerve stimulation increased with increasing frequency(280Hz) of stimulation. 2. The contractions to perivascular nerve stimulation(40V, 40Hz, 0.5msec, 1min) were increased by pretreatment of the cholinestrase inhibitor, physostigmine. 3. The contraction to perivascular nerve stimulation(40V, 40Hz, 0.5msec, 1min) was antagonised by the muscarinic antagonist, atropine. 4. The contraction to perivascular nerve stimulation(40V, 40Hz, 0.5msec, 1min) was blocked by the neural blocker, tetrodotoxin. 5. The contractions to perivascular nerve stimulation(40V, 40Hz, 0.5msec, 1min) were not significantly affected by the ${\alpha}$-adrenergic antagonist, phentolamine or ${\beta}$-adrenergic antagonist, propranolol. 6. The contractile response by the acetylcholine was increased by the pretreatment of cholinestrase inhibitor, physostigmine. This findings suggest that the powerful excitatory action by the perivascular nerve stimulation may be linked to muscarinic receptor by cholinergic nerve excitation in coronary artery of pig.
