  • 지난 최대빙하기 이후 형성된 대륙붕 퇴적체의 퇴적환경 변화를 연구하기 위해 동중국해 북부(북동중국해) 대륙붕에서 채취된 코아 퇴적물에 대한 탄소동위원소(AMS $^{14}C$) 연대측정과 함께 저서유공충 군집 변화를 분석하였다. 코아퇴적물은 최하부에서 약 16,000yr B.P.이며, 최상부 30cm에서는 약 3,000yr B.P.로 지난 최대빙하기에서 최근까지 순차적으로 발달한 퇴적충으로 구성된다. 코아 퇴적물에서 산출되는 저서유공충 분석 결과, 군집조성, 종수(S) 그리고 종다양도(H(S)) 등이 약 240cm를 기준으로 상부와 하부에서 뚜렷하게 구분된다. 퇴적물 깊이 240cm 이하의 하부 퇴적층(Zone I)에서는 Ammonia beccarii와 Elphidium clavatum (s.l.)이 우세하게 출현하며, 부유성 유공충 산출율(P/T ratio, 평균 22%)과 종수(평균 44), 다양도(평균 2.9) 등이 상대적으로 낮다. 이러한 저서유공층 군집 특성과 연대측정에 근거할 때 Zone I은 최대빙하기 이후 초기 해수면 상승 동안(16${\sim}$10ka) 수심 약 20${\sim}$30m 내외의 염하구 환경에서 퇴적된 것으로 해석된다. 한편 상부의 Zons II 퇴적층은 Eilohedra nipponica와 Bolivina robusta가 우점하며, 부유성 유공층 산출율(>40%)과 종수(>60) 둥이 크게 증가하는 경향을 보인다. Zone II는 유공충 군집 구성 특성에 따라 두 개의 구간(Zone IIa와 IIb)으로 세분되며, Zone IIa는 약 9,000 yr B.P. 이후 해수면이 빠르게 상승하는 현세 해침 동안 연구해역에 형성된 내-중대륙붕 환경에서, 그리고 Zone IIb는 약 6,000 yr B.P. 이후 해수면이 현재와 같은 수심 80m 내외의 외대륙붕 환경에서 퇴적된 것으로 해석된다. 결론적으로 코아 퇴적물의 저서유공충 군집 변화 특성은 최대빙하기 이후해수면 상승과 함께 형성된 대륙붕 퇴적체의 퇴적환경 변화를 잘 반영한다.

  • Koh(袴) was a type of dress worn on the lower part of the body which was commonly used in the Northeast Asia. It was originally used by the Northern race for the need of nomadism or hunting. The origin of the Koh which appeared in the area would be found from the trousers of the Huns who influenced in the Northeast Asia, and became in the part of the Scythian culture. The Scythians are the nomadizing race inhabited in the Northern Caucasas on the wast of the Black Sea and influenced on the inland Eurasian steppe as the first typical horse-riding race. The objectives of Koh which had been worn in the Scythian, Mongolia, Korea as well as Japan as a part of Dongho dress and ornaments and to contemplate the transmission process by cultural exchange among different races for the period from 4th century to 7th century. 1. The Origination of the Koh The Koh was originated by the environmental factor to protect the cold in the North but also from the heat in the South, and was changed and developed as gradually satisfying to the needs of the times. In the Northeast Asia the Koh was in the class of the Northern Chinese garment, and was used widely by the horse riding Scythians who moved widely from the Eurasian inland to Japan. The oldest original which could reflect the type of the Northern clothes was a pair of trousers discovered in the Huns remains of Noin Ula. This showed the exact form of hunting clothes and had a similar form with the Korean female tro-users. Since the same form of trousers drawn on the wall painting of which was excavated 4-5th century ancient Koguryo(高句麗) tomb was the same form the trousers of Noin Ula seemed to be the original form of Koh in the Northeast Asia. 2. The Chinese Trousers It was the time of the King Mooryung(武靈王) in the Cho(趙) Dynasty B.C. 3th century that the trousers used regularly in China. However, the Koh had been used as undergarment which functioned for the protection of the cold not the horseriding garment. The trousers seemed to be not very obviously shown off since the Poh (袍) was long, but mainly used by the people from lower class. As people learned the adapted the trousers. It was essential for the times of war and quarrel. The king himself started wearing the Koh. The Chinese trousers were influenced by the Huns, the Northern clothes of the Scythian culture, and similar to the Korean clothes. 3. The Korean Trousers Korean was a race bared from the Eastern foreign group. It was obvious that the clothes was Baji-Jeogori(바지 저고리), the garment of the Northern people. This had the same form of the Scythian dress and ornaments which was excavated from the Mongolian Noin Ula. The Scythian dress and ornaments were influenced from the Ancient West Asia Empire and transmitted to the Northeast Koguryu by the horseriding Scythian. The trousers were kept in the traditional style by the common people in Korea were transmitted to Japan which were for behind in cultural aspect, as well as got used to the Chinese as the efficient clothes though active cultural exchange. 4. The Japanese Trousers The ancient Japanese clothes were influenced by the Southern factor but not the form of the Koh. As the Korean people group was moving towards Japan and conquer the Japanese in the 4-5th century, however, North Altaic culture was formed and at the same time the clothes were also developed. The most influenced clothes at this time were those of Baekge(百濟) and the trousers form called Euigon became the main form. Because of the climatic regional factor, it was tied not at the ankle but under the knee. From the view the ancient Japanese clothes disappeard about that time, it could be due to the conquest of the culturally superior race but not the transmission of the culture. In the latest 7th century both the Chinese and Japanese dress forms were present, but the Dongho(東胡) dress and its ornament from Korea was still the basic of the Japanese dress form.

  • 치아우식증 및 치주질환에 이환 여부와 치근단 병소의 존재 유무에 따라 급성 치수염 또는 급성 치근단 농양이라고 진단된 17개 치아의 치관부 치수를 제거하고, 치근에 존재하는 괴사된 치수 및 농양부위의 샘플을 채취하여, 혐기성 상태에서 세균을 배양하고, 이들을 16S rDNA 클로닝 및 핵산염기서열결정법으로 종 수준에서 동정하였다. 그 결과 17개의 치근관감염 병소에서 모두 71개의 세균 군락이 자라났으며, 그 중 계대 배양을 통해서 적응하여 자라난 것이 56 균주였다. 치아우식증에 의한 치근관 감염 병소와 치아우식증이 아닌 다른 원인에 의한 치근관 감염 병소에서 검출되는 세균은 서로 다른 양상을 보였다. 즉, 치아우식증에 의한 치아의 치근관 감염 병소에서 연쇄상구균들이 $72.7\%$(8/11)로 가장 많은 빈도로 검출되었다. 반면에 치아우식증이 없는 치아의 치근관 감염 병소에서는 Actinomyces속의 균주들이 $66.7\%$로 가장 높은 빈도로 검출되었다. 치근단 병소가 있는 경우의 치근관 감염 병소에는 대체로 혐기성 세균인 Clostridia 아문, Bacteroides 문, Fusobacteria 문의 균주들이 검출되었지만, 치근단 병소가 없는 치아에서는 검출되지 않았다 반면에 치근단 병소가 없는 치근관 병소에서는 연쇄상구균($60\%$)과 Actinomyces속($50\%$)의 균주들이 높은 빈도로 검출되었다. 본 연구에서는 아직까지 종 수준에서 동정되지 않은 2 균주(ChDC B639 및 ChDC B631)의 Actinomyces속에 속하는 균주가 분리되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합할 때, 세균배양법에 의한 치수 및 치근단 감염 병소에서는 다양한 세균이 검출되었으며, 이는 치근관 감염이 여러 세균에 의해 발병 및 진행된다는 기존의 연구 결과와 동일함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 본 연구 결과 분리 동정된 균주들은 치근관질환과 이와 관련된 세균간의 역학조사에 중요한 자원으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • DNA barcoding without assessing reliability and validity causes taxonomic errors of species identification, which is responsible for disruptions of their conservation and aquaculture industry. Although DNA barcoding facilitates molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of species, its availability in clariid catfish lineage remains uncertain. In this study, DNA barcoding was developed and validated for clariid catfish. 2,970 barcode sequences from mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) and cytochrome b (Cytb) genes and D-loop sequences were analyzed for 37 clariid catfish species. The highest intraspecific nearest neighbor distances were 85.47%, 98.03%, and 89.10% for COI, Cytb, and D-loop sequences, respectively. This suggests that the Cytb gene is the most appropriate for identifying clariid catfish and can serve as a standard region for DNA barcoding. A positive barcoding gap between interspecific and intraspecific sequence divergence was observed in the Cytb dataset but not in the COI and D-loop datasets. Intraspecific variation was typically less than 4.4%, whereas interspecific variation was generally more than 66.9%. However, a species complex was detected in walking catfish and significant intraspecific sequence divergence was observed in North African catfish. These findings suggest the need to focus on developing a DNA barcoding system for classifying clariid catfish properly and to validate its efficacy for a wider range of clariid catfish. With an enriched database of multiple sequences from a target species and its genus, species identification can be more accurate and biodiversity assessment of the species can be facilitated.

  • Backgrounds/Aims: After pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), an early oral diet is recommended; however, the postoperative nutritional management of PD patients is known to be highly variable, with some centers still routinely providing parenteral nutrition (PN). Some patients who receive PN experience clinically significant complications, underscoring its judicious use. Using a large cohort, this study aimed to determine the proportion of PD patients who received postoperative nutritional support (NS), describe the nature of this support, and investigate whether receiving PN correlated with adverse perioperative outcomes. Methods: Data were extracted from the Recurrence After Whipple's study, a retrospective multicenter study of PD outcomes. Results: In total, 1,323 patients (89%) had data on their postoperative NS status available. Of these, 45% received postoperative NS, which was "enteral only," "parenteral only," and "enteral and parenteral" in 44%, 35%, and 21% of cases, respectively. Body mass index < 18.5 kg/m2 (p = 0.03), absence of preoperative biliary stenting (p = 0.009), and serum albumin < 36 g/L (p = 0.009) all correlated with receiving postoperative NS. Among those who did not develop a serious postoperative complication, i.e., those who had a relatively uneventful recovery, 20% received PN. Conclusions: A considerable number of patients who had an uneventful recovery received PN. PN is not without risk, and should be reserved for those who are unable to take an oral diet. PD patients should undergo pre- and postoperative assessment by nutrition professionals to ensure they are managed appropriately, and to optimize perioperative outcomes.

  • The area studied is a southwestern part of Okcheon geosynclinal zone which streches diagonally across the Korean peninsula in the mid-central parts of South Korea, and is bounded by Charyeong mountain chains in the north and by Sobaek mountain chains in the south. The general trend of the zone is of NE-SW direction known as Sinian direction. Okcheon system of pre-Cambrian age occupies southwestern portion of Okcheon geosynclinal zone, and Choseon and Pyeongan systems of Cambrian to Triassic age in northeastern portion of the zone. It was defined by the writer that the former was called "Okcheon Paleogeosynclinal zone" and the latter "Okcheon Neogeosynclinal zone," although T. Kobayashi named them "Metamorphosed Okcheon zone" and "Non-metamorphosed Okcheon zone" respectively and thought that sedimentary formations in both zones were same in origin and of Paleozonic age, and C.M. Son also described that Okchon system was of post-Choseon (Ordovician) and pre-Kyeongsang (Cretaceous) in age. According to the present study two zones are separated by great fault so that the geology in both zones is not only entirely different in origin and age, but also their geolosical structures are discontinuous. Stratigraphy and structure of Okcheon system are clearly established and defined by the writer and its age is definitely pre-Cambrian. It is clarified by present study that the meta-sediments in and at vicinity of Charyeong mountain chains are correlated to Weonnam series of pre-Cambrian age which occupies and continues from northeast to southwest in and at south of Sobaek mountain chains, and both metasediments constitute basement of Okcheon system. Pyeongan, Daedong and Kyeongsang systems were deposited in few narrow intermontain basins in Okcheon paleogeosynclinal zone after it was emerged at the end of Carboniferous period. Granites of Jurassic and Cretaceous ages and volcanics of Cretaceous age are cropped out in the zone. Jurassic granite is aligned generally with the trend of Okcheon geosynclinal zone, whereas Cretaceous granite lacks of trend in distribution. Many isoclinal folds and thrust faults caused by Taebo orogeny at the end of Jurassic period are also parallel with Sinian directieon and dip steeply to northwest. Charyeong, Noryeong, Sobaek, and Deogyu mountain chains are located in areas of anticlinorium, and Kyongsang system in narrow synclinal zones. Folds in Okcheon neogeosynclinal zone are generally of N 70-80W direction but deviate to Sinian direction at the western parts of the zone. This phenomena is interpreted by the fact that the folds were originated by Songrim disturbance at the end of Triassic period and later partly modified by Taebo orogeny. Thrust faults of Taebo orogeny coentinue from Okcheon paleogeosynclinal zone into neogeosynclinal zone, forming imbricated structure as previously described. Strike-slip faults perpendicular to Sinian direction and shear faults diagonally across it by 55 degrees also prevail in neogeosynclinal zone. It is concluded from viewpoints on geology and geological structure that l)Okchon geosyncline had changed its location and affected by numerous disturbances through geologic time, and 2)mountain chains in the area such as Charyeong, Noryeong, Sobaek, and Deogyu were originated as folded mountains. Differing from others, however, Sobaek range was probably formed at the time of Songrim disturbance and modified later by Taebo orogeny. It is cut by Danyang-Jeomchon fault at the vicinity of Joryeong near Munkyeong village and does not continue to southwest beyond the fault, whereas southwestern portion of erstwhile Sobaek range continues to Taebaek rangd northeastward from Deogyusan passing through Sangju, Yecheon, and Andong. From these evidences, the writer has newly defined the erstwhile Sobaek range in such a way that Sobaek range is restricted only to northeastern portion and Deogyu range is named for the southwestern portion of previous Bobaek range.

  • Type II collagen (CII), major component of hyaline cartilage, has been considered as an auto-antigen in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the clinical and biological significances with regard to the CII autoimmunity need to be clarified in human RA. The presence of antibodies to CII has been identified in sera, synovial fluid, and cartilage of patients with RA. In our study, the increased titer of IgG anti-CII in sera was well correlated with C-reactive protein, suggesting that this antibody may reflect the inflammatory status of RA. The titer of anti-CII antibodies (anti-CII Abs) tended to be higher in early stages of diseases. In our extending study, among 997 patients with RA, 269 (27.0%) were positive for circulatory IgG antibody to CII, those levels were fluctuated over time. It is hard to assess the significant amount of T cell responses to CII and CII (255~274) in RA. By using a sensitive method of antigen specific mixed lymphocyte culture, we can detect the presence of CII-reactive T cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of RA patients. Sixty seven (46.9%) of 143 patients showed positive CII reactive T cell responses to CII or CII (255~274). The frequencies of CII reactive T cells were more prominent in inflamed synovial fluid (SF) than in peripheral blood. These T cells could be clonally expanded after consecutive stimulation of CII with feeding of autologous irradiated antigen presenting cells (APC). Moreover, the production of Th1-related cytokine, such as IFN-${\gamma}$, was strongly up-regulated by CII reactive T cells. These data suggest that T cells responding to CII, which are probably presenting the IFN-${\gamma}$ producing cells, may play an important role in the perpetuation of inflammatory process in RA. To evaluate the effector function of CII reactive T cells, we investigated the effect of CII reactive T cells and fibroblasts-like synoviocytes (FLS) interaction on the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. When the CII reactive T cells were co-cultured with FLS, the production of IL-15 and TNF-${\alpha}$ from FLS were significantly increased (2 to 3 fold increase) and this increase was clearly presented in accord to the expansion of CII reactive T cells. In addition, the production of IFN-${\gamma}$ and IL-17, T cell derived cytokines, were also increased by the co-incubation of CII reactive T cells with FLS. We also examined the impact of CII reactive T cells on chemokines production. When FLS were co-cultured with CII stimulated T cells, the production of IL-8, MCP-1, and MIP-1${\alpha}$ were significantly enhanced. The increased production of these chemokines was strongly correlated with increase the frequency of CII reactive T cells. Conclusively, immune response to CII was frequently found in RA. Activated T cells in response to CII contributed to increase the production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which were critical for inflammatory responses in RA. The interaction of CII-reactive T cells with FLS further augmented this phenomenon. Taken together, our recent studies have suggested that autoimmunity to CII could play a crucial role not only in the initiation but amplification/perpetuation of inflammatory process in human RA.

  • 치주조직의 재생을 위하여 다양한 방법이 제시되어 왔으나 최근에는 치주인대세포를 선택적으로 유도하여 증식시키는 방법으로 성장인자에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 중배엽세포를 조절하는 인자 중의 하나인 혈소판유래성장인자(Platelet-Derived Growth Factor, 이하 PDGF-AA, BB로 표기)는 폴리펩타이드계 성장인자로써 다양한 세포들에 대해 증식, 이주 및 기질합성에 촉진효과가 있다고 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구는 배양된 치주인대세포에 혈소판유 래성장인자를 농도별로 주입해서 세포의 증식능, 단백질 및 교원질 합성능을 측정해 보고, 골형성세포로의 분화에 대한 표식인자로 알칼린인산효소활성도를 알아보므로서 혈소판유래성장인자가 치주인대세포에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 교정치료를 위해 내원한 환자로 부터 건강한 제일소구치를 발거하여 치주인대세포를 분리, 배양하여 PDGF-AA, BB를 주입시키지 않은 군을 대조군으로 하고, PDGF -AA, BB를 각각 0.1, 1, 10, 100ng/ml로 주입시킨 군을 실험군으로하여 DNA 합성능, 총단백질과 교원질 합성능 및 알칼린인산효소활성도를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. DNA 합성능에 미치는 PDGF -AA, BB의 효과는 양군 공히 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 100ng/ml의 PDGF-BB를 투여한 군에서는 대조군과 유사한 정도를 나타내었다. 치주인대세포의 총단백질 합성양에 미치는 PDGF -AA, BB의 효과는 PDGF-AA, BB투여군 공히 농도가 증가함에 따라 총단백질 합성양이 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 총단백질 합성양에 대한 PDGF-BB의 효과가 PDGF-AA보다 100ng/ml 투여군에서 현저히 높게 나타났다. 총단백질을 교원질(collagenase digestible protein : CDP)과 비교원성 단백질(noncollagenous protein : NCP)로 분류하여 비교하였을때 PDGF-AA, BB 투여군 공히 농도가 증가함에 따라 비교원성 단백질 합성양과 교원질 합성양이증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 양군 모두에서 비교원성 단백질 합성양이 교원질 합성양보다 높게 나타났다. 총단백질에 대한 교원질의 상대적 비율은 양군 공히 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내므로써 PDGF-AA, BB는 교원질에 특이하게 합성을 증가시키는 효과는 없음올 나타내었다. 알칼린인산효소활성도는 7, 14일째에서 PDGF-AA, BB 투여군 모두 대조군과 별 차이를 보이지 않았다.
