Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers.

배경: 폐장의 허혈-재관류 손상은 폐이식에서 발생하는 조기 이식장기 실패의 주요 원인의 하나로 알려져 있다. 최근 갑상선 호르몬의 활성형인 삼요드티로닌 (T3)이 심장을 비롯한 여러 장기의 허혈 손상을 줄여주는 효과가 있음을 시사하는 보고가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 T3의 허혈-재관류 손상에 대한 효과가 폐장의 허혈 손상에도 효과가 있을 것으로 기대하고 덱스트란을 주성분으로 하는 세포외액성 폐보존액에 T3를 추가한 새로운 폐보존액을 제조하여 그 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 12마리의 황견을 6마리씩 두 군으로 나누어 제 1군에서는 새로 개발한 폐보존액을 사용하고, 제 2군에서는 유로콜린스 용액을 사용하여 폐를 적출 하였다. 적출한 폐장은 각각의 보존액에 담그어 섭씨 4도에서 20시간 보관한 후, 각 군에 6마리씩 총 12례의 좌측 폐이식을 시행하였다. 이식된 좌측폐만의 기능을 관찰하기 위해서 폐이식 후 재관류를 15분시킨 후에 우측 주폐동맥과 우측 주기관지를 결찰하고, 2시간 동안 혈역학적 변수와 가스분석을 시행하고, 측정이 종료된 후 바로 희생하여 폐조직 일부를 떼어내어 조직검사와 수분 함량 및 MDA양을 측정 비교하였다. 결과: 동맥혈 산소분압은 제 1군에서 재관류 후 60분, 90분 120분에 각각 147$\pm$25 mmHg, 148$\pm$22 mmHg, 159$\pm$21 mmHg, 제 2군에서는 각각 133$\pm$26 mmHg, 132$\pm$29 mmHg, 135$\pm$30 mmHg로 제 1군에서 조금 높은 경향을 보였으나 통계적으로 유의성은 없었다. 각 시간에서의 최대 흡기압은 제 1군에서 14.0$\pm$0.5 cmH2O, 14.2$\pm$0.6 cmH2O, 15.7$\pm$0.8 cmH2O, 제 2군에서는 17.8$\pm$2.0 cmH2O, 18.0$\pm$1.9 cmH2O, 19.3$\pm$2.7 cmH2O으로 제 1군에서 조금 낮은 경향을 보였으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 동맥혈 이산화탄소 분압은 제 1군에서 각 시간에 27.9$\pm$2.2 mmHg, 27.7$\pm$2.4 mmHg, 28.0$\pm$3.0 mmHg, 제 2군에서는 36.8$\pm$6.0 mmHg, 43.2$\pm$8.1 mmHg, 53.1$\pm$17.4 mmHg로 제 1군에서 유의하게 낮았다 (p<0.05). 폐혈관 저항 및 조직 MDA양은 두 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 폐 조직 수분 함량은 제 1군에서 유의하게 낮았고, 조직학 검사상 폐조직 손상의 정도도 제 1군에서 적었다. 결론: 이상의 결과에서 T3를 포함한 새로 개발한 폐보존액이 유로콜린스 용액과 비교하여 폐보존능이 우수함을 확인할 수 있었고, 이는 T3가 폐이식시 폐장의 효과적 보존에 유용한 역할을 함을 시사하였다.

Chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) was isolated from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces sp. M-20 and purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography, and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. No exochitinase activity was found in the culture filtrate. The molecular mass of the purified chitinase was 20 kDa, estimated by a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and was confirmed by activity staining with Calcofluor White M2R. Chitinase was optimally active at pH of 5.0 and at $30^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was stable from pH 4 to 8, and up to $40^{\circ}C$. Among the metals and inhibitors that were tested, the $Hg^+$, $Hg^{2+}$, and p-chloromercuribenzoic acid completely inhibited the enzyme activity. The chitinase activity was high on colloidal chitin, chitotriose, and chitooligosaccharide. The purified chitinase showed antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea, and lysozyme activity against the cell wall of Botrytis cinerea.

This study was carried out to discover the effects of eating habits and health-related life style on blood pressure, $\gamma$-Glutamic acid Peptide Transferase($\gamma$-GPT), blood glucose and High Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol(HDL-C). 185 subjects(85 male, 100 female) were selected, who were living in the Cheonju area aged 40#s to 60#s. The mean systollic blood pressure(SBP), diastollic blood pressure (DBP), $\gamma$-GPT, fasting blood sugar(FBS) and HDL-C for all the subjects were 118mmHg, 77mmHg, 281U/l, 90mg/dl and 45mg/dl, respectively. The SBP and DBP for subuects over 60 years old were 126mmHg and 81mmHg and were significantly higher than subjects in their 40#s and 50#s(p<0.001, p<0.005). The HDL-C of the group that rarely ate breakfast was 57mg/dl and that was significantly higher than the 44mg/dl scored by those who ate breakfast everyday(p<0.05). The SBP for subjects having a snack 2-3 times/week was 125mmHg and that was significantly higher than the 114mmHg of those having a snack everyday(p<0.05). The $\gamma$-GPT for subjects consuming alcohol everyday was 44IU/L and that was significantly higher than 18IU/I of the non-drinking group(p<0.001). The $\gamma$-GPT of light smokers was 53IU/I and that was significantly higher than the 22IU/I for non-smoking participants(p<0.001). The DBP, SBP, $\gamma$-GPT, FBS and HDL-C related to exercise not significantly different. The SBP(p<0.001) and DBP(p-0.01) between age group was positively correlated. The $\gamma$-GPT between drinking frequency(p<0.001), drinking quantity(p<0.05), and smoking(p<0.05) was also positively correlated. The FBS between exercises had a negative correlation(p<0.05), and the HDL-C between breakfast had a negative correlation(p<0.05). These results indicate that decreasing drinking and smoking, when combined with appropriate exercise, will decrease the $\gamma$-GPT and fasting blood sugar level, and help preventing adult diseases.

The mean perfusion pressure produced by 20 different design and size of disposable aortic perfusion cannulas [size range: 18F to 20F] at flow rates of 1 to 5 L/min was compared. A roller pump with perfusion tubing 10mm in inner diameter was used with a mixture of 0.9% normal saline and 100% glycerin [mixing ratio of 6.72:13.28] to make the viscosity as normal blood in 20oC as the test solution. Line pressure in these cannulas at a flow rate of 3L/min ranged from 13.2$\pm$4.47 to 157$\pm$1 34 mmHg in a case of absence of resistance, and from 11.4$\pm$1.14 to 227.2$\pm$4.47 mmHg in a case of presence of resistances 14 cannulas had gradients of less than 100Hg at a flow rate of 3L/min and 9 cannulas less than 100mmHg at 4L/min. The following results were obtained from this experimental study: .1] A wide range of line pressure was observed in disposable aortic perfusion cannulas currently in clinical use; 2] Some cannulas currently used for cardiopulmonary bypass in adults generated excessive line pressure; 3] Both the material and design affect function, with some designs safer than others. Cardiac surgeons should base the choice of aortic perfusion cannula on the best performance and safest design available to avoid cannula-related problems during operation.

PdOx 전극, Pd전극에서의 전기화학적 수소산화반응 특성을 30% KOH용액에서 온도와 수소농도를 변화시키면서 조사하였다. PdOx전극에서는 -0.8~-0.5V(vs. Hg/HgO)에서 전극 표면에 흡착된 수소의 산화반응이 주로 나타났고, Pd전극에서는 전극 표면에 흡착된 수소의 산화반응 뿐만 아니라 -0.5~0.0V(vs. Hg/HgO)에서 Pd과 수소가 직접 반응하여 형성된 금속수소화물이 산화되는 반응이 나타냈다. 두 전극 모두 수소농도의 증가에 따라 전하전달저항은 감소하였고, 교환전류는 증가하였다. PdOx 전극과 Pd전극의 경우 전달계수는 각각 0.78과 0.72로 Pd전극에서의 반응성이 우수하였다. 활성화에너지는 과전압이 증가할때 감소하였으며 PdOx 전극인 경우 23.9~20.3 KJ/mole, Pd전극인 경우 7.2~3.0KJ/mole로 나타났다.

Metabolic syndrome (MS) was defined as condition in which the subjects have two or more abnormalities among obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and hyperglycemia. To develop a nutritional education program for MS, this study was performed to compare the dietary habits and nutrients intake of complex symptoms of MS with obesity or hyper-glycemia. The participants in this study were 84 normal adults,62 MS with obesity, 33 MS with hyperglycemia and 54 MS with obesity and hyperglycemia (OB + HG). A dietary survey was conducted using 24-hour recall method. Total cholesterol level of MS with obesity group was significantly higher than other groups. WHR and systolic blood pressure showed no significant difference among MS with obesity, hyperglycemia and OB+HG groups. Dietary intakes of energy, Fe, Vit A, Vit $B_2$ and Ca were less than $75\%$ of 7th Korean RDA in the all groups. Especially, dietary intakes of Vit $B_2$, Vit A and Ca were less than $50\%$ of RDA in MS with hyperglycemia and OB+HG groups. The other nutrient intakes of each group were also below the RDA level except for P, Vit C. It appeared that most of the nutrient intakes in MS with hyperglycemia and OB + HG groups were significantly lower than normal group. In MS with obesity group, each consumption of sweet, organ meat and soup was higher than other groups. Each consumption of garlic and onion in MS with obesity, hyperglycemia and OB + HG groups was lower than normal group. Also, each consumption of soup in MS with hyperglycemia and OB + HG groups was higher than normal group. Indices of nutritional quality (INQ) for Ca, Vit A and Vit $B_2$ were below 1 in all the groups. Food composition group score of MS with hyperglycemia group was significantly lower than normal and MS with obesity groups. Our results indicated that nutritional education program for MS with obesity or hyperglycemia should include specific strategies to modify unsound dietary habits and inappropriate food intake for health.

The experimental study for extracorporeal preservation of the heart-lung preparation by autoperfusion system was performed in 10 dogs. Under intravenous Pentothal endotracheal anesthesia bilateral thoracotomies were performed. A 24F cannula connected to a plastic reservoir bag located 100 cm above the level of the heart was introduced into the aortic arch. Left subclavian, innominate artery, and descending aorta were ligated and divided. Both vena cavae were ligated and divided after the bag was half filled with blood. A 24F catheter inserted into right atrium and connected to the plastic bag in order to keep constant the preload. The thoracic trachea was intubated and the lungs were ventilated. The heart-lung preparations were removed en bloc and floated in a $34^{\circ}C$ bath of Hartmann solution. The preparations were observed for from 2 hours to 8 hours, with the average of 5.2 hours. Hemodynamic and hematologic variables were measured during preharvest and autoperfusion. The pH revealed severe respiratory alkalosis due to very low $PaCO_2$ during autoperfusion ; $PaO_2$ remained constant for 130-140 mmHg; $A-aDO_2$ increased markedly. The static inspiratory pressure [SIP] at late autoperfusion [6hr] increased significantly as compared with at early autoperfusion [2hr]. There was no difference between white blood cell counts from right atrium and those of left atrium. Heart rates remained constant for 110-120/min; cardiac outputs maintained to approximately 0.6L/min; mean aortic pressures, 75 mmHg; mean pulmonary arterial pressures, 15-18 mmHg; mean right atrial pressures, 9-13 mmHg; mean left atrial pressures, 12 mmHg lower than those of right atrium. Serum Na maintained with normal range during autoperfusion; K increased significantly; Ca decreased progressively. Hemoglobin and hematocrit decreased significantly during autoperfusion. The study demonstrated that stable hemodynamics could be maintained throughout the experiment and the preparation of the lung seemed to be inadequate, especially after 3-4 hours, such as high $A-aDO_2$, increased SIP, and scattered atelectasis and edema in their gross appearances.
