뇌하수체의 성선자극 홀몬 분비 세포는 혈액내 estradiol양의 변화에 따라 LH와 FSH를 분비하므로써 주기적인 변화를 보인다. 성선 자극 홀몬의 분비는 성선 자극 홀몬을 합성하고 보유하는 두가지 형태의 능력의 크기에 의하여 조절되며 이들을 조절하는 것은 시상하부에서 분비되는 황체형성 홀몬-분비 홀몬(LH-RH)과 난소에서 분비되는 estradiol이다. LH-RH는 성선 자극 홀몬 분비세포에 작용하여 성선 자극 홀몬 합성, 저장 및 분비를 촉진시키며 estradiol은 LH-RH의 기능을 확대하고 LH-RH가 self-priming효과를 나타내도록 유도하기도 하며 LH-RH의 성선 자극 홀몬 분비 기능을 저해하기도 한다. Estradiol은 기저성 성선 자극 홀몬을 분비시키기 위하여 negative feedback작용을 하고 배란성 성선 자극 홀몬을 분비시키기 위하여는 positive feedback작용을 하며 feedback작용 부위는 시상하부 및 뇌하수체 전엽이다. 또한, estradiol이 feedback작용을 하여 성선 자극 홀몬의 분비를 조절하는 데는 LH-RH뿐만 아니라 중추신경-시상하부에서 분비되는 dopamine, norepinephrine, prostaglandin등이 참여한다.

Purpose Cyber deviance of adolescents has become a serious social problem. With a widespread use of smartphones, incidents of cyber deviance have increased in Korea and both quantitative and qualitative damages such as suicide and depression are increasing. Research has been conducted to understand diverse factors that explain adolescents' delinquency in cyber space. However, most previous studies have focused on a single theory or perspective. Therefore, this study aims to comprehensively analyze motivations of juvenile cyber deviance and to develop a predictive model for delinquent adolescents by integrating four different theories on cyber deviance. Design/methodology/approach By using data from Korean Children & Youth Panel Survey 2010, this study extracts 27 potential factors for cyber deivance based on four background theories including general strain, social learning, social bonding, and routine activity theories. Then this study employs econometric analysis to empirically assess the impact of potential factors and utilizes a machine learning approach to predict the likelihood of cyber deviance by adolescents. Findings This study found that general strain factors as well as social learning factors have positive effects on cyber deviance. Routine activity-related factors such as real-life delinquent behaviors and online activities also positively influence the likelihood of cyber diviance. On the other hand, social bonding factors such as community commitment and attachment to community lessen the likelihood of cyber deviance while social factors related to school activities are found to have positive impacts on cyber deviance. This study also found a predictive model using a deep learning algorithm indicates the highest prediction performance. This study contributes to the prevention of cyber deviance of teenagers in practice by understanding motivations for adolescents' delinquency and predicting potential cyber deviants.

Background: The primary indication for using long-acting anesthetics in dentistry is extensive dental procedures that require pulpal anesthesia beyond 90 min and management of postoperative pain. Ropivacaine is an amide local anesthetic that is available at various concentrations with inherent vasoconstrictive properties at low concentrations. Ropivacaine has a 75% greater margin of safety than bupivacaine. Ropivacaine can be a good alternative to bupivacaine as a local anesthetic in dental implant surgery as it provides a longer duration of both pulpal and soft tissue anesthesia after mandibular nerve block and lowers CNS and cardiovascular toxicity. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of ropivacaine and lignocaine for implant surgery anesthesia. Methods: Fifteen patients with bilateral edentulous sites indicated for implant placement were recruited for this study. Patients aged 20-60 years of both sexes were randomly recruited. Thirty implant placements were performed in the test and control groups using ropivacaine and lignocaine with adrenaline as local anesthetics, respectively. Results: The results were analyzed statistically. The duration of anesthesia was significantly higher in the test group than in the control group. Ropivacaine was found to be superior to lignocaine in terms of the quality of anesthesia. The comparison of mean visual analog scale scores showed ropivacaine to have better anesthetic and analgesic effects than the control group. Conclusion: Ropivacaine 0.75% provides a significantly longer duration of anesthesia than lignocaine 2% with adrenaline. Ropivacaine 0.75% decreased intraoperative and postoperative analgesia compared to lignocaine 2% with adrenaline. Hence, ropivacaine 0.75% can be used as an alternative to lignocaine in implant surgeries and other intraoral surgical procedures that require a longer duration of anesthesia and analgesia.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effects of 1-rooted mandibular second molar (MnSM) teeth on root canal anatomy complexities of the mandibular central incisor (MnCI), mandibular lateral incisor (MnLI), mandibular canine (MnCn), mandibular first premolar (MnFP), mandibular second premolar (MnSP), and mandibular first molar (MnFM) teeth. Materials and Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography images of 600 patients with full lower dentition were examined. Individuals with 1-rooted MnSMs were determined, and the complexity of root canal anatomy of other teeth was compared with individuals without 1-rooted MnSMs (Group-1; subjects with at least one 1-rooted MnSM, Group-2; subjects with more than a single root in both MnSMs). A second canal in MnCIs, MnLIs, MnCns, MnFPs, and MnSPs indicated a complicated root canal. The presence of a third root in MnFMs was recorded as complicated. Results: The prevalence of 1-rooted MnSMs was 12.2%, with the C-shaped root type being the most prevalent (9%). There were fewer complicated root canals in MnCIs (p = 0.02), MnLIs (p < 0.001), and MnFPs (p < 0.001) in Group 1. The other teeth showed no difference between the groups (p > 0.05). According to logistic regression analysis, 1-rooted right MnSMs had a negative effect on having complex canal systems of MnLIs and MnFPs. Left MnSMs were explanatory variables on left MnLIs and both MnFPs. Conclusions: In individuals with single-rooted MnSMs, a less complicated root canal system was observed in all teeth except the MnFMs.

Formation of ${\beta}$-amyloid $(A{\beta})$ fibrils has been identified as one of the major characteristics of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibition of $A{\beta}$ fibril formation in the CNS would be attractive therapeutic targets for the treatment of AD. Several small compounds that inhibit amyloid formation or amyloid neurotoxicity in vitro have been known. Citrate has surfactant function effect because of its molecular structure having high anionic charge density, in addition to the well-known antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Therefore, we hypothesized that citrate might have the inhibitory effect against $A{\beta}$ fibril formation in vitro and have the protective effect against $A{\beta}$-induced neurotoxicity in PC12 cells. We examined the effect of citrate against the formation of $A{\beta}$ fibrils by measuring the intensity of fluorescence in thioflavin-T (Th-T) assay of between $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ groups treated with citrate and the control with $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ alone. The neuroprotective effect of citrate against $A{\beta}$-induced toxicity in PC12 cells was investigated using the WST-1 assay. Fluorescence spectroscopy showed that citrate inhibited dose-dependently the formation of $A{\beta}$ fibrils from ${\beta}$-amyloid peptides. The inhibition percentages of $A{\beta}$ fibril formation by citrate (1, 2.5, and 5 mM) were 31%, 60%, and 68% at 7 days, respectively in thioflavin-T (Th-T) assay. WST-1 assay revealed that the toxic effect of $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ was reduced, in a dose-dependent manner to citrate. The percentages of neuroprotection by citrate (1, 2.5, and 5 mM) against $A{\beta}-induced$ toxicity were 19%, 31 %, and 34%, respectively. We report that citrate inhibits the formation of $A{\beta}$ fibrils in vitro and has neuroprotective effect against $A{\beta}$-induced toxicity in PC12 cells. Neuroprotective effects of citrate against $A{\beta}$ might be, to some extent, attributable to its inhibition of $A{\beta}$ fibril formation. Although the mechanism of anti-amyloidogenic activity is not clear, the possible mechanism is that citrate might have two effects, salting-in and surfactant effects. These results suggest that citrate could be of potential therapeutic value in Alzheimer's disease.

온도, 일장 및 각종 생장조절제가 감자 괴경형성에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 1974년 고대 농대 구내에서 남작품종을 공시하여 퐁트재배로 고온장일 환경하와 저온단일환경하의 포복지형성 이전 및 이후부터 처리한 결과를 요약하면 아래와 같다. 1. 장일(16시간) 및 고온(주간최고 25~3$0^{\circ}C$, 야간최저 21~25.5$^{\circ}C$)장일은 감자 괴경형성을 저해하고, 단일(8시간)은 조장하며, 저온(야간최고 12~18$^{\circ}C$, 야간최저 8~13$^{\circ}C$)단일은 결정적으로 조장하였다. 저온과 단일에서는 지상부생육이 저하되는 경향이 보였다. 2. 고온장일하에서 GA처리(10ppm 4회살포)를 하였을때 포복지는 매우 길어졌으나 괴경형성은 저해되지 않었다. 3. 고온환경에서의 저온단일과 GA의 복합처리에서 포복지장은 길어졌으나 괴경형성은 전온단일의 단독 처리처럼 양호하였다. 4. NAA (5ppm), CCC(1000ppm), 2,4-D(5ppm), Sustar(250ppm)는 고온장일하에서 4회살포할 때 괴경 형성을 저해하지 않었고, 저온단일하에서 5~7회 살포할 때에도 괴경형성에 조장적이었다. 5. 고온장일하에서 B nine(0.25% 4회살포), MH (0.25% 3회살포), Rh 531(200ppm 1회살포), Ethrel (200ppm 2회살포)은 지상부생육을 억제하고 괴경형성을 저해하였으나, 저온단일하에서 동농도의 B nine과 10분지1 농도의 MH Rh 531, Ethrnl을 5~7회 살포할 경우에는 모두 괴경이 정상적으로 형성되었고 Bnine 이외에는 생장억제경향도 별로 없었다. 6. NAA(50ppm), CNS(1000ppm), Kinetin (2.5 ppm)은 고온장일의 4회살포에서는 괴경형성이 억제되었으나 저온단일하의 5~7회 살포에서는 거의 모두 정상적으로 괴경이 형성되었다. 7. 저온단일환경은 생장조절제의 영향을 초월하여 괴경형성을 정상적으로 유도하는 경향이 보였다. 8. 생장조절제처리의 경우에 지상부생육의 조장 억제의 경향과 괴경형성의 조장 억제의 경향간에는 일정한 관계가 없는것으로 보였다.

전자파는 열적 또는 비열적 작용에 의해 신경조직에 다양한 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 미세한 전자파에 노출되기 전에 칼슘통로차단제인 nimodipine 처리를 한 토끼의 EEG를 측정함으로써 전자파 조사시 중추신경계의 반응 및 그것에 대한 nimodipine의 영향을 평가하려고 하였다. 10마리씩 이루어진 두 집단의 토끼에 각기 10dBm, 20dBm의 전력밀도를 가진 2,450 MHz의 전자파를 10분간 조사한 후 EEG 신호를 측정하여 전자파에 노출되지 않은 다른 10 마리의 토끼의 EEG 신호와 비교하였다. 그다음 20 dBm의 전자파에 노출시키기 전에 nimodipine을 정맥주사한 토끼의 뇌파를 생리식염수만 주사한 토끼의 뇌파와 비교하였다. 10dBm의 전자파 조사시에는 뇌파의 변화가 없었으나, 20 dBm의 전자파 조사시 EEG 전압의 감소 및 delta bank의 현저한 감소와 alpha 및 beta band 의 현저한 감소와 alpha 및 beta band의 증가를 알아낼 수 있었다. 그러나 국소적인 혈관 주위 염증반응 이외의 뇌세포의 이상소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 그리고 이러한 변화는 nimodipine 처리에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 전자파조사시 nimodipine처리한 토끼의 뇌파에서 처리하지 않은 토끼와의 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 못했기 때문에 이러한 효과는 열적 효과로 보여진다.

Endothelin-1 (ET-1 ), a novel and potent vasoconstrictor in blood vessel, is known to have some functions in the rat central nervous system (CNS), In order to investigate the central functions of ET-1 , ET-1 was administered to the periaqueductal gray area (PAC) of anesthetized rats to induce barrel rolling and increase the arterial blood pressure (ABP). ET-1 had a modulatory effect on central cardiovascular and behavioral control. The selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist MK-801 (3${u}m/ol/kg$, i.p.) blocked the ET-1 induced responses, and both the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor L-NAME (N-nitro-L-arginine mIThyl-ester 1 nmol/rat) and the nitric oxide (NO) scavenger hemoglobin (15 nmol/rat) had similar effects in redtAcing the IT-1 (10 pmol/rat)-induced behavioral changes and ABP elevation. However, NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP 10${u}g$, 1${u}g/rat$) decreased the ET-1 induced ABP elevation, and recovered the ET-1 -induced barrel rolling effect that was reduced by MK-801. These results suggest that ET-1 might have neuromodulatory functions such as ABP elevation and barrel rolling induction in the PAG of the rats via the NMDA receptor and NO.

Purpose : To provide data on exercise prescription for obesity management and prevention of cardiovascular disease in girl's high school and to prepare basic data for more effective exercise program for lifestyle improvement and prevention of lifestyle-related diseases. This study examines the effects on brain nerve growth factor and inflammatory factors, and the relationship between obesity factor and brain neuron cell production factor and inflammatory factor changes by complex exercise. Methods : The subjects of the study were obese students with a body fat percentage of 30 % or higher after obtaining body fat percentage of high school girls in C-city. Among them, 20 students who wanted to participate in the program of this study and did not participate in special exercise and diet therapy within the last 6 months were radio-sampled into groups of exercise group and control group, but attendance rate was low and The final exercise group (9) and control group (9) were measured, except for one student who did not respond. Results : Analysis of the range of variation in body composition, BMI, lean body mass, and the interaction between the groups showed significant differences (p<.05). TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C as variables of blood lipids, TC and TG were not significantly different and TG was significantly different (p<.05) in interactions. HDL-C showed a significant difference (p<.01) in interactions, an increase in exercise group, and a significant decrease in control group (p<.05). There was a significant difference (p<.05) in BDNF interaction, an increase in the exercise group and a decrease in the control group, but no significant difference. NGF tended to increase in both exercise and control groups. IL-6 had a significant difference in timing (p<.05) and significantly decreased (p<.01) in the exercise group, and TNF-α interacted with timing (p<.05), and a significant increase in the control group. Conclusion : This study confirmed 12-week compound exercise program was effective in increasing the expression of basal fitness or CNS factor, but not enough to actually improve brain function. Fat mass and obesity are also affecting vascular inflammatory factors.
