  • Plasmodium vivax reemerged in 1993. It has been sustained for more than 25 years and become one of the important indigenous parasitic diseases in northern and western parts of the Republic of Korea near the demilitarized zone. In particular, relapse is a significant concern for the control of malaria, as short- and long-term incubation periods vary among those infected in Korea. In this study, the prevalence of asymptomatic carriers was examined among residents of high endemic areas of vivax malaria during nonseasonal transmission of mosquitoes. Blood samples from 3 endemic regions in northwestern Korea were evaluated by microscopic examination, rapid diagnostic testing, and nested PCR to identify asymptomatic patients carrying malaria parasites in the community. However, no positive malaria case among residents of endemic areas was detected. Additionally, serological analysis was carried out to measure antibodies against 3 antigenic recombinant proteins of P. vivax, merozoite surface protein 1-19, circumsporozoite surface protein-VK210, and liver-stage antigen (PvLSA-N), by the protein array method. Interestingly, seropositivity of sera between previous exposure and samples without exposure to malaria was significantly higher using the PvLSA-N antigen than the other antigens, suggesting that PvLSA-N can be used as a serological marker to analyze the degree of exposure for malaria transmission in endemic areas. This indicates a very low asymptomatic carrier prevalence during the nonmalaria season in the endemic areas of Korea.

  • Thirty-six weaned piglets with an initial body weight (BW) of 8.43 ± 0.40 kg (28 days of age, ([Landrace × Yorkshire] × Duroc) were randomly assigned to 6 treatments for a 2-week feeding trial to determine the effects of different inorganic zinc (IZ), organic zinc (OZ) or combination of low crude protein diet (LP) and Mixed feed additive (MFA) on diarrhea score, nutrient digestibility, zinc utilization, blood profiles, organ weight, and fecal microflora in weaned piglet diet. The pigs were individually placed in 45 × 55 × 45 cm stainless steel metabolism cages in an environmentally controlled room (30 ± 1℃). The dietary treatments included a negative control (NC), positive control (PC; zinc oxide, 1,000 mg/kg), T1 (IZ : OZ, 850 : 150), T2 (IZ : OZ 700 : 300), T3 (IZ : OZ, 500 : 500), and T4 (LP + MFA [0.1% Essential oils + 0.08% Protease + 0.02% Xylanase]). The daily feed allowance was adjusted to 2.7 times the maintenance requirement for digestible energy (2.7 × 110 kcal of DE/kg BW0.75). This allowance was divided into two equal parts, and the piglets were fed at 08 : 30 and 17 : 30 each day. Water was provided ad libitum through a drinking nipple. The diarrhea score was significantly increased (p < 0.05) in NC treatment compared with other treatments. The apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of dry matter (DM), nitrogen (N), and gross energy (GE) was significantly increased (p < 0.05) in the T2 treatment compared with the PC and NC treatments in week 1. In week 2, the ATTD of DM, N, and GE was significantly decreased (p < 0.05) in the NC treatment compared with other treatments. The T3 treatment had significantly higher (p < 0.05) ATTD and apparent ileal digestibility of zinc than the PC and T1 treatments. The Escherichia coli count in feces was significantly decreased in the T4 treatment compared with the NC and T2 treatments. The Lactobacillus count in feces was significantly increased in the T4 and T1 treatment compared with the T2 and T3 treatments. In conclusion, IZ : OZ 500 : 500 levels could improve nutrient digestibility and zinc utilization in weaned piglets, Moreover, MFA in LP diets could be used as a zinc alternative.

  • This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Korean rehabilitation treatement for patients with post-TKR. The medical records of inpatients undergoing Korean rehabilitation treatment after TKR from 2016.01.01. to 2021.12.31. during the admission, were analyzed retrospectively. The effect of treatment was evaluated by using a numeric rating scale(NRS) and range of motion(ROM) of knee. Statistical analysis was done using the IBM SPSS statistics 26 program. If the period of hospitalization was within 7 days or change of NRS and ROM was not recorded properly, the case was excluded. All inpatients received acupuncture treatment, Electro-acupuncture. Soyeom pharmaco-acupuncture were used at a high rate. Blood letting cupping therapy, dry cupping therapy, Interferential Current Therapy(ICT) continuous passive motion(CPM), cryotherapy were used at a high rate. A significant improvement was noted when comparing the NRS and knee ROM results at the time of admission and discharge. Korean medical rehabilitation can be effectively used for patients who have undergone TKR, to relieve pain and enable returning to daily activities. It is expected to be helpful in future studies of post-TKR in Korean Medicine. Also It can be used for medical treatment of post-TKR in Korean Medicine Hospital and clinic. However, further research with a high level of evidence is necessary to support this finding.

  • The study aims to compare the action of Pleurotus cornucopiae and glibenclamide on alloxan-induced diabetes and ascertain how an aqueous extract of the edible mushroom regulates the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), oxidative stress biomarkers and renal toxicity in a diabetic male Wistar rat model. Twenty-five adult male Wistar rats were randomly grouped into five groups with five rats per. Group 1 and those in the treatment groups received normal feed and water ad libitum. Group 2 received intraperitoneal administration of alloxan monohydrate (150 mg/kg body weight). Group 3 received alloxan monohydrate and glibenclamide (5 mg/kg body weight bwt), group 4 received alloxan monohydrate plus the extract (250 mg/kg bwt) and group 5 received alloxan monohydrate plus the extract (500 mg/kg bwt). The administration of glibenclamide plus the extract was oral for 14 days. Glibenclamide and the extract lowered blood glucose level, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activities, increased the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in rats with alloxan induced diabetes. The extract at 500 mg/kg bwt reduced the plasma urea and sodium concentration in the treated rats. The extract and glibenclamide could detoxify alloxan and restore its induced renal degeneration and glomeruli atrophy, intra renal hemorrhage and inflammation and oxidative biomarkers through activation of Nrf2 expression. The drug glibenclamide and P. cornucopiae have appreciable hypoglycemic activity and potential to restore the normal renal architecture in the rats, hence they offer similar curative effects. Additionally, the extract at 500 mg/kg bwt activated SOD and Nrf2 expression more than glibenclamide in rats with alloxan-induced diabetes.

  • Gu-Chang is a disorder characterized by recurring ulcers confined to the oral mucosa. Despite much clinical and research attention, the causes remain poorly understood. In this paper, we will compare Gu-Chang with Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis(RAS) in order to know what is the similiarity between Gu-Chang and RAS. So we will arrange various oriental and western medical literatures which are important. As a result of arrangement of the causes, symptoms and therapys of Gu-Chang, we can conclude through the studies as follows. 1. The etiologies of Gu-chang are following. In the Sthenia syndrome, there are evil heat of external factor, heat of heart and spleen, insomnia, heat of upper warmer, stress and diet, heat of lung and heart, excessive heat of upper warmer, inappropriate food intake, heat conveyance of organ, heat of stomach merdian, moistured heat of spleen and stomach and stasis of liver energy. In the Asthenia syndrome, there are deficiency of stomach energy, deficiency of upper warmer leading to heat, deficiency of middle warmer leading to cold, deficiency of lower warmer leading to heat, deficiency of middle energy, deficiency of blood, decreased fire and deficiency of soil, yin fire of lower warmer, deficiency of heart yin, deficiency of spleen yin and deficiency of qi and blood. 2. In western medicine the causes of RAS is presumed as local, microbial, systemic, nutritional, genetic, immunologic factors. 3. Once Gu-chang is compared with RAS, in the deficiency of yin leading to hyperactivity of fire, deficiency of yin leading to floating of fire and stasis of liver energy, recurring of Gu-chang is similar to RAS. Although recurring of Gu-chang due to tripple warmer of excessive fire has no recurrance, since there are the degree of Pain, site of lesion, dysphagia etc, it is similar to major RAS. It is may be believed that Sthenia Gu-chang is similar to major RAS, shape of recurring, site of lesion, degrree of Pain and white color of Asthenia Gu-chang are similar to minor RAS, but there is no similarity concerning herpes RAS in the literatures that describe the symptoms. 4. Generally, the treatment of Gu-chang is divided into Asthenia and Sthenia Syndrome. The method of cure to Sthenia syndrome is heat cleaning and purge fire, Asthenia syndrome is nourish yin to lower and adverse rising energy and strength the middle warmer and benefit vital energy. 5. Following is the medication for Sthenia syndrome. Heat of heart and spleen is Do Jok San, Yang Gyek San, Juk Yup Suk Go Tang, evil heat of external factor is Yang Gyek San Ga Gam, Stasis of liver energy is Chong Wi Fae Dok Yum, moistured heat of spleen and stomach is Chong Gi Sam Syep Tang. The medication for Asthenia Syndrome is following. Deficiency of upper warmer leading to heat is Bo Jung Ik Gi Tang, deficiency of middle warmer leading to cold is Bu Ja Lee Jung Tang, deficiency of lower warmer leading to heat is Yuk Mi Ji Hwang Tang, deficiency of yin leading to hyperactivity of fire is Ji Baek Ji Hwang Hwan, deficiency of yin leading to floating of fire is Lee Jung Tang Ga Bu Ja Medicine for external use were Yang Suk San, Boo Wyen San, Rok Po San, Yoo Hwa San ate. 6. In western medicine, there is no specific treatment for RAS, and management strategies depend on dinical presentation and symptoms and includes antibiotics, oral rinses, glucocorticoids, immunomodulatory drugs, vitamines, analgesics, laser and antiviral agents.

  • This study was done to compile 104 experimental theses which are related to the antitumor and immuno-activating therapies between February 1990 through February 2002. Master's and doctoral theses were dassified by schools, degrees, materials, effects, experimental methods of antitumor and immunoactivity, and results. The following results were obtained from this study : 1. Classifying the theses by the school, 34.6% were presented by Daejeon University, 29.8% by Kyung-hee University and 11.5% by Won-kwang University. Of all theses, 51.0% were aimed for the doctoral degree and 43.3% were for the master's degree. All of three universities have their own cancer centers. 2. Classifying the theses by herb materials, complex prescription accounted for 60.3%, single herb accounted for 24.8% and herbal acupuncture accounted for 14.2%. Considering the key principles of the traditional medicine, complex prescription was much more thoroughly studied than single herb prescription. The results showed that the complex prescription had both antitumor activity and immuno-activating activity, which might reflects on multi-activation mechanisms by complex components. 3. Classifying the theses by the efficacy of herbs examined, in single herb, invigorating spleen and supplementing was 35.5%, expelling toxin and cooling was 29.0%, activating blood flow and removing blood stasis was 12.9%. In herbal acupuncture, invigorating spleen and supplementing was 52.9%, expelling toxin and cooling was 29.4%. In complex prescription, pathogen-free status was 41.9%, strengthening healthy qi to eliminate pathogen was 35.5%, strengthening healthy qi was 22.6%. It is presumed that the antitumor and immunoactivating therapy based on syndrome differentiation is the best way to develop oriental oncology. 4. Classifying the theses by antitumor experiments, cytotoxic effect was 48.1 %, survival time was 48.1 % and change of tumor size was 42.3%. Survival rate was not necessarily correlated with cytotoxicity. These data reflect the characteristic, wholistic nature of the oriental medicine which is based on BRM (biological response modifier). 5. Classifying the theses by immunoactivating experiments, hemolysin titer was 51.0%, hemagglutinin titer was 46.2% and NK cell's activity was 44.2%. In the future studies, an effort to elucidate specific molecular and cellular mechanisms of cytokine production in the body would be crucial. 6. Classifying the theses according to the data in terms of antitumor activity, 50% was evaluated good, 24.0% was excellent, and 15.5% have no effect. In an evaluation of immuno-activating activity, 35.9% was excellent and 18.0% showed a little effect. The index point, as described here, may helps to use experimental data for clinical trials. Changes in index points by varying dosage implicate the importance of oriental medical theory for prescription. 7. In 167 materials, IIP (immunoactivating index point, mean : 3.12±0.07) was significantly higher than AIP(antitumor index point, mean : 2.83±0.07). These data demonstrate that the effect of herb medicine on tumor activity depends more on immunoactivating activity than antitumor activity. This further implies that the development of herbal antitumor drugs must be preceded by the mechanistic understanding of immunoactivating effect. 8. After medline-searching tumor and herb-related articles from NCBI web site, we conclude that most of the studies are primarily focused on biomolecular mechanisms and/or pathways. Henceforth, we need to define the biomolecular mechanisms and/or pathways affected by herbs or complicated prescriptions. 9. Therefore, the most important point of oriental medical oncology is to conned between experimental results and clinical trials. For the public application of herbal therapy to cancer, it is critical to present the data to mass media. 10. To develop the relationship of experimental results and clinical trials, university's cancer clinic must have a long-range plan related to the university laboratories and, at the same time, a regular consortium for this relationship is imperative. 11. After all these efforts, a new type herbal medicine for cancer therapy which is to take care of the long-term administering and safety problem must be developed. Then, it would be expected that anti-tumor herbal acupuncture can improve clinical symptoms and quality of life (QOL) for cancer patients. 12. Finally, oriental medical cancer center must be constructed in NCC (National Cancer Center) or government agency for the development of oriental medical oncology which has international competitive power.

  • 체내에서 발생하는 산화 질소는 허혈-재관류에 따른 폐혈관 저항을 감소시키고 혈관의 미세 투과도를 줄이고 세포손상을 방지하여 이식 후 폐장 기능의 보전에 도움이 된다고 알려져 있으나, 산화질소 자체의 세포독성으로 인해 재관류 동안 폐 부종을 오히려 증가시킬 수도 있다고 한다. 저자들은 산화 질소의 공여물질인 nitroglycerin을 투여한 분리 폐장 관류 모델을 이용하여 폐장 보존에 이점과 단점을 동시에 가지고 있는 산화질소가 허혈-재관류 과정에서 폐장의 기능에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: Sprague-Dawley종의 수컷 흰쥐 35마리를 사용하였다. Nitroglycerin (NTG)군(n=18)은 NTG를 정맥 주사하고 University of Wisconsin용액에 혼합하여 폐장 관류를 시행하였고, 대조군(n=17)은 NTG 대신 같은 양의 생리 식염수를 사용하였다. 구득한 심폐블록을 1$0^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 동안 보관한 후, 분리 폐장 관류 모델에서 인체 혈액을 Krebs-Hensleit용액으로 희석하여 60분간 재관류하였다. 재관류하는 동안 기도내압과 페동맥압을 지속적으로 측정하였고, 관류후 30분과 60분에 혈액 내 산소와 이산화탄소 분압을 측정하였다. 재관류가 끝난 후 기관지폐포세척을 통해 폐포 내 단백함량을 측정하였으며, 중성구 침착 정도를 알기 위해 myeloperoxidase (MPO) 활성도를 측정하였다. 걸과: 두 군 간의 기도내압과 폐동맥압은 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었으나, NTG군에서 관류기간 중 폐동맥압이 상대적으로 낮게 유지되는 경향이 있었다. 이산화탄소 분압, 기관지폐포세척액 내의 단백질 함량, MPO의 활성도는 두 군에서 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 산소 분압은 NTG 군에서 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 전자현미경 검사에도 대조군에 비해 NTG군에서 폐포구조, 폐포상피세포, 모세혈관배열 등 미세구조의 손상이 적게 나타났다. 결론. 폐장 구득전 NTG의 투여는 폐장의 기능과 미세구조의 유지에 도움이 된다고 판단되며, 임상 폐이식에도 적용이 가능하리라 생각된다.

  • 1회성의 수온급변 실험으로서 크게 2가지 형태의 수온변화 조건을 주었다: $20^{\circ}C$로부터 시간당 $2^{\circ}C$씩 수온을 떨어뜨려 $10^{\circ}C$까지(소요시간 5시간) 낮춘 다음, 21시간 유지한 것 (Exp.I)과 $20^{\circ}C$로부터 시간당 $2^{\circ}C$씩 수온을 상승시켜 $30^{\circ}C$까지 (소요시간 5시간)올린 다음, 21시간 유지한 것 (Exp. II). 수온을 $20^{\circ}C$로부터 $10^{\circ}C$로 급격하게 낮춘 실험에서 실험어의 Ht는 넙치대 $11.6\pm0.2\sim15.5\pm0.1\%$, 넙치소 $9.0\pm0.4\sim13.5\pm2.0\%$, 쥐노래미 $18.3\pm3.6\sim23.2\pm3.8\%$의 범위로서 쥐노래미가 넙치에 비하여 높은 값을 나타냈다. 코티졸 농도는 넙치소에서 유의한 변화를 보이지 않은 반면, 넙치대와 쥐노래미에서 실험개시시에 각각 $5.2\pm8.5ng/mL,\;2.7\pm0.4ng/mL$였던 것이 $10^{\circ}C$ 하강시에 각각 $164.0\pm53.1ng/mL,\;207.9\pm25.4ng/mL$로 크게 높아졌다. 젖산은 넙치대에서는 실험개시시에 비해 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 넙치소와 쥐노래미에서 개시시 보다 낮아져 글루코스 농도의 변화와 비슷하였다. 수온을 $20^{\circ}C$로부터 $30^{\circ}C$로 급격하게 높인 Exp. II에서 실험어의 Hb 변화는 모든 어종에서 수온급상승에 따라 약간 높아지는 경향을 보이다가 실험개시시의 수준으로 회복되었다. 쥐노래미에서는 수온급변에 따라 MCV는 상승하는 반면, MCHC는 하강하였다. 넙치대·소의 코티졸 농도는 Exp. I의 결과와 같이 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 쥐노래미에서는 실험개시시의 $2.7\pm0.2ng/mL$로부터 $44.7\pm9.1ng/mL$로 높아졌다. 글루코스 농도는 모든 어종에서 실험개시시 보다 높아져 Exp.Ⅰ결과와는 반대되는 경향을 나타냈다.

  • 당뇨쥐에서 운동부하가 골격근과 간의 항산화효소 활성도에 미치는 영향과 산소유리기에 의한 조직손상 여부블 관찰한 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. Strcptozotocin으로 유도한 당뇨군의 혈당농도(mg/dL)는 $344{\pm}14.8$로서 대조군의 $117{\pm}2.7$보다 높았으며(p<0.001) 운동부하에 의해서 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.01). 혈장 인슐린 농도(${\mu}U/mL$)는 당뇨군에서 $8.5{\pm}0.5$로서 대조군의 $20.6{\pm}1.4$보다 유의하게 낮았으며(p<0.001) 운동부하후에는 운동부하전과 비교하여 차이가 없었다. 당뇨군에서 실제 운동부하의 정도를 평가하기 위해서 측정한 운동부하후 골격 끈파 간의 당원농도(mg/100 g wet wt.)는 각각 $1.0{\pm}0.1$$7.7{\pm}0.8$로서 운동부하전과 비교시 모두 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.001, p<0.01). 당뇨군의 골격근과 간의 항산화효소 즉 superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathionc pcroxidase(GPX) 및 catalase(CAT)의 활성도는 운동부하에 의해서 각기 다른 반응을 보였다. 골격근의 SOD 활성도(unit/mg protein)는 대조군에서 $6.3{\pm}0.2$였으며 당뇨군에서는 $5.8{\pm}0.2$로서 대조군과의 사이에 유의한 차이를 발견할 수 없었으나 운동부하후에는 $5.0{\pm}0.1$로서 대조군과 운동부하전 당뇨군보다 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.001, p<0.01). GPX 활성도(nmol/min/mg protein)는 당뇨군에서 운동부하전후에 각각 $2.3{\pm}0.2$$1.8{\pm}0.1$로서 대조군의 $1.6{\pm}0.0$보다 다같이 높았으나(p<0.05, p<0.05) 운동부하에 의해서 영향을 받지 않았다. CAT 활성도(pmol/min/mg protein)는 당뇨군에서 $7.6{\pm}0.7$로서 대조군의 $6.3{\pm}0.7$과 비교하여 차이가 없었으나 훈동부하후에는 $4.6{\pm}0.3$으로서 대조군보다 감소하였으며(p<0.05) 당뇨군의 운동부하전보다도 감소하였다(p<0.01). 당뇨군의 MDA 농도는 대조군과 비교하여 차이가 없었으며 당뇨군에서 운동부하에 의한 영향도 받지 않았다. 간의 SOD 활성도는 대조군에서 $11.3{\pm}0.2$였으며 운동부하전 당뇨군에서는 $9.6{\pm}0.3$으로서 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.01). 당뇨군에서 운동부하전후 측정한 SOD 활성모는 대조군과 비교하여 다같이 감소하였으나(p<0.01, p<0.001), 운동부하에 의한 영향은 없었다. 당뇨군외 GPX와 CAT의 활성도는 대조군과 비교하여 유의한 차이가 없었으며 당뇨군에서 운동 부하에 의한 변화도 없었다. 운동부하전 당뇨군의 MDA 농도(nmol/g wet wt.)는 $38.5{\pm}1.3$으로서 대조군의 $24.8{\pm}0.9$에 비해서 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<0.001) 운동부하에 의해서는 대조군보다는 높았으나(p<0.001) 운동부하전과 비교하여서는 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 당뇨쥐에서 골격근은 운동부하로 인한 산화 스트레스에 대한 적응과정을 통해서 손상이 없었으나, 간 조직은 당뇨병 자체로 인한 산소유리기의 발생으로 손상의 위험이 있었으나 운동부하에 의한 더 이상의 손상은 없었다.

  • 목적: 두부 외부에서 두뇌를 직접 자극하는 비침습적 두뇌 자극술인 경두개 자기자극(TMS, transcranial magnetic stimulation)은 특정 두뇌 부위를 자극하여 두뇌 활성을 증가 혹은 감소시킬 수 있다. 특히 반복 TMS(repetitive TMS, 이하 rTMS)는 우울증, 강박장애, 정신분열증 등 일부 신경 정신과적 질환의 새로운 치료법으로서의 가능성이 제시되면서 다양한 연구가 행해지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 치료 저항성 우울증 환자를 대상으로 rTMS 치료 전후의 국소뇌혈류 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1년 이상 적당한 항우울제 투여를 시도하였음에도 불구하고 치료에 반응하지 않았던 치료 저항성 우울증 환자 12명(남: 7, 녀: 5, 나이범위: $19{\sim}52$세, 평균나이: $29.3{\pm}9.3$세)을 대상으로 하여 3주간 15회의 rTMS(우측 전전두엽: 1Hz, 좌측 전전두엽: 20Hz) 치료 시행 전과 치료 후에 Tc-99m ECD SPECT를 얻었다. 치료 전과 후의 차이를 SPM2 소프트웨어를 이용하여 비교하였다.(t=3.14, uncorrected p<0.01, voxel=100) 결과: rTMS 치료 후에 좌측 측두엽 전내측부와 좌측 기저핵 그리고 양측 전전두엽 피질부위에 혈류가 유의하게 증가하였다. 또한 우측 전두엽과 좌측 후두엽에서는 혈류가 유의하게 감소하였다. 결론: 치료 저항성 우울증 환자의 rTMS 치료는 특정 부위 두뇌의 혈류 증가와 감소가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 치료 성과 및 개인 특성에 따른 차이에 대한 분석을 시행하고 보다 많은 수의 환자에서 자료가 확보된다면 rTMS 치료의 기전과 우울증의 병태생리를 규명하는데 rTMS-기능 뇌영상 연계 연구가 매우 유용할 것이다.인 PET 연구 절차를 고안하기 위해 고려해야 할 사항들에 대하여 논하였다.TEX>$29.9{\pm}1.8%$, DMF: $7.6{\pm}0.5%$이었다. MEK에서 얻은 $[^{11}C]1$의 비방사능은 98 ($GBq/{\mu}mol$)이다. 각 물질의 질량 분석은 1: m/z 257.3 (M+1), 2: 257.3 (M+1), 3: 271.3 (M+1)이었다. 각 생성물질의 표지효율은 MEK에서 $86.0{\pm}5.5%:5.0{\pm}3.4%:1.5{\pm}1.3%$ $([^{11}C]1:[^{11}C]2:[^{11}C]3)$, CHO에서 $59.7{\pm}2.4%:4.7{\pm}3.2%:1.3{\pm}0.5%$, DEK에서 $29.9{\pm}1.8%:2.0{\pm}0.7%:0.3{\pm}0.1%$, DMF에서 $7.6{\pm}0.5%:0.0%:0.0%$이다. 결론: $[^{11}C]1$은 4가지 반응용매 중 MEK 반응용매에서 가장 높은 표지효율을 나타냈다. 부산물인 $[^{11}C]3$은 고성능 액체 크로마토그래피의 자외선, 방사능 검출기와 질량 분석법을 통해 물질을 추정할 수 있었다.의 개선 효과가 있는 것으로 판단되며 지질과산화에 대해서 강한 억제 활성을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 복분자는 생활 습관병의 예방과 개선에 유효한 것으로 사료되었으며, 지질대사와 과산화지표의 검증을 통해 기능성 식품소재로 활용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.로서 역시 CTV 치료계획에서 적게 조사되었다(p=0.005). 기존의 ICRU 치료계획은 잔류종양의 크기가 작은 경우 불필요하게 정상조직에
