수온변화에 따른 심맥관계 및 신장기능의 변화와 생체실험을 통한 온도에 의한 adrenoceptor의 변형을 알아보기 위해, 무마취 자라에서 $18^{\circ}C$에서 $25^{\circ}C$로 수온을 증가시 나타나는 혈압, 심박동수 및 신장기능의 변화를 관찰하고, epinephrine 1 ug/kg과 10 ug/kg을 상이한 온도에 노출된 자라의 정맥내 투여하여 나타나는 효과를 비교하였다. 1) $18^{\circ}C$에서 $25^{\circ}C$로 수온을 증가시킴에 따라 심박동수는 현저히 증가하여 일정하게 유지되었으나, 혈압 및 혈장 renin 활성도는 변화하지 않았다. 온도증가에 의해 뇨량, 사구체여과율 및 전해질 배설량의 현저한 증가를 보였으나 90분부터는 서서히 감소하기 시작하였다. 2) 수온 $18^{\circ}C$에 노출된 자라에서 epinephrine은 dose-dependent한 양상으로 혈압 및 심박동수를 증가시켰으며, 다량의 epinephrine 투여시 작용시간은 현저히 연장되어 있었다. $25^{\circ}C$에 노출된 자라에서는 epinephrine에 의한 혈압상승 효과 및 심박동수 증가는 나타났으나, dose dependency나 작용시간의 차이는 발견할 수 없었다. 3) 동량의 epinephrine에 의한 혈압 및 심박동수의 증가효과는 $18^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$에 노출된 자라에서 유의한 차이를 발견할 수 없었으나, $18^{\circ}C$에 노출된 자라에서 epinephrine의 작용시간 및 반감기가 현저히 연장되어 있었다. 4) Epinephrine 투여에 의해 뇨량, 사구체여과율 및 전해질 배설량의 증가를 관찰하였으며, 이는 dose-dependent 양상이었다. 그러나, 신장효과의 유의한 차이는 상이한 온도에 노출된 두 군에서 발견할 수 없었다. 이상의 결과로, 온도증가에 의한 이뇨 및 sodium 배설효과는 혈관이완에 의한 사구체여과율의 증가에 기인한 것으로 사료되며, 상이한 온도에 노출된 자라에서 epinephrine 효과의 차이를 발견할 수 없었던 것은 본 실험에서 가한 좁은 범위의 온도의 변화 내에서는 adrenoceptor의 변형이 나타나지 않을 것이라고 추론하였다. 그러나 저온에서의 epinephrine의 작용시간의 연장은 아마도 epinephrine의 파괴 효소의 활성도의 감소인 것으로 사료된다.

The rheological prouerties of dough were evaluated the dough added whole wheat flour during breadmaking. From the farinogram, water absorption of the dough was decreased as the amount of coarse whole wheat flour was increased. While water absorption of the dough was increased as the amount of fine whole wheat flour was increased. Arrival time and development time of the dough with coarse whole wheat flour were longer than those of fine whole wheat flour. As the amount of whole wheat flour was increased, the weakness was increased. Weakness of coarse whole wheat flour was higher than that of fine whole wheat flour. From the extensograph, extension and resistance to extension were decreased with increasing the amount of whole wheat flour. Resistance to extension of coarse whole wheat flour was higher than that of fine whole wheat flour. From the amylograph, as the amount of whole wheat flour increased, maximum viscosity was decreased gradually. Though the amount of coarse whole wheat flour and fine whole wheat flour was increased up to 30% and 50%, respectively, external characteristics of bread was remained in normal. As the amount of whole wheat flour was increased, the value of whiteness was decreased.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to verify renal inflammation following Kawasaki disease (KD) using single photon emission computed tomography along with Technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy (DMSA renal SPECT). Methods: From March 2011 to October 2011, 15 patients diagnosed with KD at the National Health Insurance System Ilsan Hospital were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent DMSA renal SPECT to evaluate renal involvement during the acute phase of KD. Urine ${\beta}2$-microglobulin (${\beta}2$-MG), a marker of renal proximal tubular dysfunction, was also measured to assess renal damage. Results: All 15 patients had normal renal function test results. However, microscopic hematuria and pyuria were observed in 13% and 33% of the patients, respectively. Moreover, urine ${\beta}2$-MG was elevated in 46% of the patients. In addition, patients were divided into two groups based on ${\beta}2$-MG level: those with an increased ${\beta}2$-MG level, and those with a normal ${\beta}2$-MG level. No significant differences were found between these two groups in clinical characteristics, laboratory, sonography, and echocardiography findings. All patients' DMSA renal SPECT scans were normal. Conclusion: Our study showed that mild abnormalities in the urinalysis and elevated urine ${\beta}2$-MG were the only findings of renal involvement in KD. However, no aggressive renal manifestations were detected on DMSA renal SPECT.

This paper presents a polynomial time algorithm to the minimum cardinality feedback edge set and minimum weight feedback edge set problems. The algorithm makes use of the property wherein the sum of the minimum spanning tree edge set and the minimum feedback edge set equals a given graph's edge set. In other words, the minimum feedback edge set is inherently a complementary set of the former. The proposed algorithm, in pursuit of the optimal solution, modifies the minimum spanning tree finding Kruskal's algorithm so as to arrange the weight of edges in a descending order and to assign cycle-deficient edges to the maximum spanning tree edge set MXST and cycle-containing edges to the feedback edge set FES. This algorithm runs with linear time complexity, whose execution time corresponds to the number of edges of the graph. When extensively tested on various undirected graphs both with and without the weighed edge, the proposed algorithm has obtained the optimal solutions with 100% success and accuracy.

Renal myxomas are very rare benign tumors. To date, a few cases have been reported in English literature, mostly in pathology and urology journals. Thus, there are few reports on the radiological findings associated with renal myxomas. We report on the imaging findings in a case of renal myxoma in a 62-year-old male. MRI demonstrated a well-defined mass in the left renal sinus, with intermediate high signal intensity on T2-weighted images and low signal intensity on T1-weighted images. The tumor showed gradual enhancement on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images.

We evaluated diagnostic accuracy of diuretic renal scan with standardization in 45 childrens(107 hydronephrotic kidneys) with 91 diuretic assessments. Sensitivity was 100%, specificity was 78%, and accuracy was 84% in 49 hydronephrotic kidneys with standardization. Diuretic renal scan without standardization, sensitivity was 100%, specificity was 38%, and accuracy was 57 % in 58 hydronephrotic kidneys. The false-positive results were observed in 25 cases without standardization, and in 8 cases with standardization. In diuretic renal scans without standardization, the causes of false-positive results were 10 early injection of lasix before mixing of radioactivity in pelvocalyceal system, 4 full bladder, 2 markedly dilated pelvocalyceal systems postpyeloplsty, 6 extrarenal pelvis, and 3 immature kidneys of neonates. In diuretic renal scans with standardization the causes of false-positive results were 2 markedly dilated systems postpyeloplsty, 2 extrarenal pelvis, 1 immature kidney of neonate, and 2 severe venal dysfunction, 1 vesicoureteral reflux. In diuretic renal scan without standardization the false-positive results by inadequate study were common, but false-positive results by inadequate study were not found after standardization. The false-positive results by dilated pelvocalyceal systems postpyeloplsty, extrarenal pelvis, and immature kidneys of neonates were not dissolved after standardization. In conclusion, diagnostic accuracy of diuretic renal scan with standardization was useful in children with renal outflow tract obstruction by improving specificity significantly.

Physicochemical properties of bread dough added with silkpeptide were investigated. Protein content of silkpeptide was 90.83%. In amino acid analysis, glycine content was highest at 18,760.04 mg%. Alanine, serine, and tyrosine contents were much higher in silkpeptide flour than wheat flour. Mixed silkpeptide showed low lightness and redness values and high yellowness. Farinograph water absorption decreased as silkpeptide content increased. Both arrival and development times of silkpeptide-added dough were longer than those of wheat flour, As silkpeptide content increased, degree of weakness increased, Maximum viscosity of amylograph decreased gradually with addition of silkpeptide, while gelatinization temperature was not affected. Extensograph showed extensibility and resistance to extension of dough increased, while ratio of resistence to extensibility highly increased with increasing amount of silkpeptide. Silkpeptide added to bread dough showed oxidation effect, indication that it could be used as natural additive for improving bread dough quality.

This study was carried out to investigate misconception for physique and desire for physique of college women in Taegu(412 subjects) and Fukuoka(423 subjects). The data was collected by questionnaire interview and anthropometric measurement. The results were as follows : The mean age, height, weight, and BMI of Taegu subjects were $19.9{\pm}1.2$ years old, $159.6{\pm}4.9cm,\;51.2{\pm}6.0kg\;and\;20.1{\pm}2.2$, respectively. The mean age, height , weight, and BMI of Fukuoka subjects were $18.3{\pm}0.6$ year old, $157.5{\pm}5.0cm,\;53.3{\pm}6.9kg\;and\;21.5{\pm}2.5$, respectively. The average ideal height desired by subjects in Taegu was higher than their real mean height by 5.1cm ; while the average ideal weight desired by subjects was lower than real mean weight by 2.6kg. The average ideal height desired by subjects in Fukuoka was higher than their real mean height by 3.2cm ; while the average ideal weight desired by subjects was lower than real mean weight by 5.4kg. The percentage of Taegu subjects who desired to be slender, be fatty and maintain weight were 70.1%, 7.3%, and 22.6% respectively. The percentage of Fukuoka subjects who desired to be slender, be fatty and maintain weight were 85.3%,2.6% and 12.1% respectively. The rate of misconception for the actual physique was 56.5% in Taegu subjects, and 57.2% In fukuoka subjects. The over estimation rate was higher in subjects desired for slenderness than in others. The adolescent females having a fatty body image in self-consciousness indicated that they felt high social physique anxiousness. Finally, the rate of misconception and the degree of social physique anxiousness were higher in those who had a desire for slenderness.

Purpose : The use of cyclosporine and mitomycin in various immunologic or neoplastic disorders has been known to cause wide-ranged nephrotoxic effects including thrombotic microangiopathy. However, the mechanism of nephrotoxicity of these drugs has not been studied adequately, so that present experimental study has been undertaken to find out whether these drugs can cause direct damage to the kidney and to clarify the pathogenetic mechanism of nephrotoxic effect of these drugs. Materials and methods : Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 250-300 gm were used for experimental animals and unilateral renal perfusion technique, modified from the method described by Hoyer et al was used. Isolation of left kidney from systemic circulation was made by clamping aorta and left renal vein and a hole was punctured in the anterior wall of the left renal vein. Cyclosporine (2.5 mg in 4 ml solution) and mitomycin (1.6 mg in 4ml solution) were infused through left renal artery and normal saline was used in control rats. Forty-eight hours after infusion of the drugs, animals were sacrificed and left kidney removed and processed for histologic examination. Total ischemic time of left kidney was less than 15 minutes: Results : Cyclosporine-perfused group showed severe swelling of glomerular endothelial ceil along with swelling of glomerular epithelial cell and interstitial vascular endothelial cell. Mitomycin-perfused group also showed severe swelling of glomerular endothelial and epithelial cells. And in addition to these findings, they demonstrated platelets aggregation, swelling and degranulation of platelets and fibrin accumulation in some of the capillaries, indicating occurrance of thrombotic microangiopathy. Conclusion : present experiment indicates that cyclosporine and mitomycin can cause direct toxic injury to renal endothelial cell. And this direct toxic damage to endothelial cell seems to be an important initiating event for the development of thrombotic microangiopathy.
