구강내 작열감 증후군은 객관적 징후없이 구강점막에 작열감을 나타내는 만성동통장애이다. 다양한 원인요소들이 제시되어 있지만, 이러한 요소들의 관련성에 대해서는 아직 분명하지 않은 실정이다. 그러므로, 이러한 구강내 기능이상의 근본적이고 효과적인 치료를 위해서는 다양한 임상적 관찰과 원인요소의 분석등이 계속 연구 조사되어져야 할 것이다. 저자는 구강내 작열감 증후군의 증상을 호소하는 112명의 환자의 임상적 특징에 대해 조사하고자, 환자군과 대조군에 대해 구강내 작열감 증후군에 관한 설문조사 및 구강검사와 혈액학적 검사를 시행하였으며, 점도계를 사용하여 구강내 작열감 증후군 환자의 자극이 전타액의 점도를 측정하였다. 또한, 환자의 심리적 요인을 파악하고자 간이정신진단검사를 실시한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 구강내 작열감 증후군은 주로 페경기 전후의 여성에서 많이 나타났으며, 호발부위는 혀, 치주 및 치조점막, 구개, 협점막의 순이었다. 2. 구강내 작열감 증후군 환자에게서 대조군 비해 구강건조감, 미각 및 수면장애, 빈혈, 소화기 장애, 두통과 기타 다른 신체불편감의 호소 등이 더 많이 나타났다. 3. 혈액학적 검사결과, 구강내 작열감 증후군 환자중의 26%와 12%에서 각각 혈중 엽산농도와 철분농도의 저하를 나타냇다. 4. 자극시 분비된 전타액의 점도는 40대와 50대이상의 연령군에서 구강내 작열감 증후군 환자가 정상인에 비해 높았다.(p<0.01). 5. 구강내 작열감 증후군 환자군의 간이정신진단검사의 각 증상차원 및 전체지표의 T점수의 평균치는 정상범위내에 있었으며, 신체화(SOD)와 우울 (DEP)차원의 평균치가 가장 높았다.

The light-transmission technique has been applied to a slit rheometer for measuring red blood cell aggregation as well as blood viscosity over a range of shear rates. For measurement of blood viscosity and aggregation, instantaneous pressure and transmit-light intensity are measured with time. Using a precision pressure measurement, one can determine the shear stress and shear rate. In addition, a transmitted light through a blood sample indicates degree of RBC aggregation. With abruptly flowing with high shear rate, RBCs rapidly disaggregate and the intensity of the transmitted light becomes low. When continuously flowing with decreasing shear rate, RBCs tend to re-aggregate and the corresponding transmit-intensity gradually increases with time. The light intensity as a degree of RBC aggregation is plotted against shear rate and compared with blood viscosity. The advantages of this design are dual measurement at a time, simplicity, i.e., ease of operation and no moving parts, low cost, short operating time, and the disposable kit which is contacted with blood sample.

Reports on a potential relationship between sensory neural hearing loss(SNHL) and cardiovascular or hematologic factor show that the results are controversial. A detailed analysis of risk factors in the development of SNHL was carried out in 3,050 non-noise exposed healthy worker. The mean hearing threshold of both ears at 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000Hz was measured and the effect of age, possible cardiovascular risk factor and hematologic factor (blood viscosity and hemostatic factors) on SNHL were evaluated. first, each of these were associated with loss of hearing sensitivity when univariately and multivariatively analysed. In a multiple regression model, age, sex, body mass index, WBC and total cholesterol level were independently associated with the mean of hearing sensitivity decrease at 4000 and 8000Hz. Second, study subjects were divided into two group (normal vs SNHL) and we compare the possible risk between both groups, and analysed univariate and multivariative logistic model. In a multiple logistic regression model, age, sex, body mass index, WBC and total cholesterol level, total protein, platelet were independently associated with SNHL. Our results show that we have some reliable indices of susceptibility to SNHL using cardiovascular measures or biochemical factor, but future, more extensive studies are required.

Increase of blood viscosity significantly changes the flow resistance and wall shear stress which are related with cardiovascular diseases. For measurement of blood viscosity, microfluidic method has proposed by monitoring pressure between sample and reference flows in the downstream of a microchannel with two inlets. However, it is difficult to apply this method to unknown flow conditions. To measure blood viscosity under unknown flow conditions, a microfluidic method based on micro particle image velocimetry(PIV) is proposed in this study. Flow rate in the microchannel was estimated by assuming velocity profiles represent mean value along channel depth. To demonstrate the measurement accuracy of flow rate, the flow rates measured at the upstream and downstream of a T-shaped microchannel were compared with injection flow rate. The present results indicate that blood viscosity could be reasonably estimated according to shear rate by measuring the interfacial width and flow rate of blood flow. This method would be useful for understanding the effects of hemorheological features on the cardiovascular diseases.

This study was performed to investigate the changes of oral diet intake during the admission period and identify the factors related with nutritional status in discharging of leukemia patients. This is a retrospective cross sectional study on 46 leukemia patients receiving chemotherapy at the Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary's Hospital from July to September 2009. The patients' charts were surveyed on the general characteristics and factors relating chemotherapy. The calorie count method was used to investigate diet intake during admission period. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify possible confounding factors. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The mean age was $42.8\;{\pm}\;14.6$ years and the average length of stay was $30.4\;{\pm}\;7.0$ days. The incidence of malnourished patients was 60.9% in discharging. There was a significant difference in chemotherapy sessions and chemotherapy period between well-nourished and malnourished patients. The average energy intake was 1,525.9 kcal in well-nourished patients and 1,143 kcal in malnourished patients, which was significant different. From repeated measures ANOVA test, the changes of oral intake during admission period were significant by groups. In addition, there were significant differences in oral intake according to each period between well-nourished and malnourished patients. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, both the ratio of total oral energy intake to recommended energy intake and chemotherapy sessions were significantly associated with nutritional status in discharging. The results of this study could be used to establish a protocol of nutritional management for leukemia patients receiving chemotherapy.

Using T-lymphocytes obtained from rat peripheral blood, we found that the 44kD/pI6.8 protein was the major phosphoprotein of T-lymphocytes under basal condition, and that the 44kD/pI6.3 protein was a new phosphoprotein appeared in T-lymphocytes stimulated with ${\beta}-agonist$. The phosphorylation of the 44kD/pI6.3 protein was also induced by forskolin but inhibited by H-8 pretreatment. To clarify the character of the 44kD/pI6.3 protein, we used Con-A and kinase inhibitors, H-7 and W-7. Con-A stimulation induced phosphorylation of 44kD/pI 6.3 protein but that was inhibited by W-7 pretreatment. The phosphorytation of 44kD/pI6.3 protein was not induced by the PKC activator, PMA. Instead, the phosphorylation of 44kD/pI6.8 protein was reduced by H-7, a PKC inhibitor. From the above results,it can be concluded that the 44kD/pI6.3 protein can be a common substrate for A-kinase and CaM kinase. The two dimensional tryptic peptide mapping revealed that the 44kD/pI6.8 and 44kD/pI6.3 proteins are different.

This study investigated action mechanism and biological effect of Jijang-kimch, including its anti-obesity effect and blood lipid-decreasing effect in a high-fat diet-induced obese model animals. There were four treatment groups: CD (chow diet as normal control), HFD (high fat diet as obesity control), HFDCK (HFD plus commercial kimchi extracts), and HFDJK (HFD plus Jijang-kimchi extract). Kimchi extracts were orally administered for 28 days. Body weight, liver, and adipose tissue weight declined in HFDJK compared to those in HFDCK(p<0.05). Blood triglyceride, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and glucose level decreased in CD, HFDJK, and HFDCK compared to those in HFD(p<0.05). Those in HFDJK were lower than those in HFDCK(p<0.05). Sizes of liver and adipose cells increased in HFD, HFDCK, and HFDJ that those in CD(p<0.05). Those in HFDJK were greatly decreased than those in HFDCK(p<0.05). These results indicate that ingestion of Jijang-kimchi in obese model animals has anti-obesity effect by lowering blood lipid and glucose levels and decreasing adipocyte size compared to that of commercial-kimchi.

The health status of three groups of Hanwoo steers (n=157) aged 2-3 years, raised at three different altitudes (600 m, n=50; 200-400 m, n=58; plane land, n=49) and environment with more or less similar management have been evaluated through hematological, biochemical and globulin examinations in order to determine the optimum environment suitable for raising cattle while at the same time minimizing the risk of disease. Five mL of blood samples from each animal were collected by jugular veinipuncture and 2 mL was transferred to a tube containing EDTA for complete blood count (CBC) and 3 mL in lithium heparin for chemistry screening (CS) and immunoassay. Among the CBC parameters a significantly higher white blood cell count (tWBC), total red blood cell count (tRBC), hemoglobin (Hb) and packed cell volume (PCV) were noticed in the high altitude groups, whereas those were lower in the plane land group. In the CS parameters higher levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and total bilirubin (TBL) were found in the plane land group, whereas those were lower in the high altitude groups. The total protein (significantly) and globulins were higher in the 600 m group. The results of this study revealed that the overall health status of the Hanwoo cattle based on the hemato-biochemical indices was superior in the highest altitude and inferior in the plane land group but all the parameters were within the reference range in all the groups. Therefore, for recommendation of a suitable environment at an appropriate altitude for raising cattle there need to be further studied along with the hemato-biochemical parameters; considering, breeding, feeding, management, marketing, waste disposal and other factors.

국소적 소인에 의한 구강내 출혈은 구소적 감염이나 원인 혹은 외상등에 의해 야기되는 것으로 혈액응고에 관여하는 여러인자의 양적, 질적 이상으로 유발되는 출혈성 소인에 의한 출혈과는 구별되어 진다. 대부분의 치과의사가 접할 수 있는 가장 흔한 출혈은 국소적 소인에 의한 것이며, 명심해야 될 사항은 이런 국소적 소인에 전신적 출혈성 소인의 한 요소일 수도 있다는 점이다. 이에 치과의사들은 구강내에서 국소적 원인을 쉽게 발견 치료할 수도 있으나, 전신적 출혈성 소인에 대한 연관성 조사를 항시 염두에 두어야 하겠다. 출혈성 소인에 의한 출혈은 특별한 외상 없이도 되부, 점막, 관절등에 자연히 출혈이 일어나며, 가벼운 외상에 의해서도 쉽게 출혈하는 경향이 있는 점이 국소적 소인에 의한 출혈과의 감별사항이다. 가장 관찰하기 쉬운 곳이 피부 및 점막으로 출혈하여 피가 모인 것을 자반(Purpura)이라 하며, 크기 및 정도에 따라 모세혈관에서의 출혈은 점상출혈(Petechia), 세동맥 및 세정맥에서의 출혈은 반상출혈(Ecchymosis), 좀더 심부에서 출혈하여 촉지되는 혈종(Hematoma)으로 나눌 수 있다. 임상적으로 구별되는 이런 양상을 잘 관찰하고 주의해야 하겠다.
