We investigated the effects of aprotinin, a protease inhibitor, on isolated rat heart subjected to cardioplegia and global ischemia for 4 hours and then reperfused for 40 minutes. Before ischemia, hearts were perfused with either aprotinin 1x105KIU/L[Aprotinin group,n=8 or no aprotinin[control group,n=8 added to Krebs-Henseleite solution for 30 minutes. Hemodynamic and biochemical parameters such as heart rate, LVP, dP/dt, coronary flow and creatine kinase were measured before cardioplegia and after reperfusion 10,20,30,40 minutes. After completion of experiment, wet and dry heart weight were measured for tissue water and water content evaluation. On reperfusion, recovery of LVP of aprotinin group at each time point was significantly better than that of control group[p<0.05 , and of dP/dt at reperfusion 40 minutes[p=0.034 . No statistically significant differences in heart rate, coronary flow and CK were observed between the two groups, but aprotinin group seemed to have better recovery. No significant differences in tissue water and water content were observed between the two group.These results suggest that pretreatment of aprotinin is effective in myocardial preservation in prolonged hypothermic ischemia and reperfusion.

At the present study, it was aimed to explore the molecular genetic characterization of multiple antimicrobial resistant Salmonella spp. isolates from pigs and cattle. A total of 138 Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) isolates were typed with phage, among them, 83.3% of S. Typhimurium tested could divide into a 10 phage types. Definitive type 193 (DT193) (25.4%) and DT195 (24.6%) were exhibited as the dominant types. DT104 and U302 were found from pigs and cattle. On the other hand, S. Enteritidis had 6 phage types, of them, phage type 21 (PT21) and PT11b were the popular types. In the plasmid profiles, 135 of S. Typhimurium isolates were exhibited 1 to 6 plasmid bands which molecular weight ranged from 90 to 2kb. 35 isolates (25.4%) harbored a 90kb plasmid which is thought to be the serotype specific virulence plasmid. Two of twenty five S. Enteritidis had common plasmids at 2 and 1.5kb. With multiplex polymerase chain reaction, virulence genes (invA and spvC) were detected from all Salmonella spp. from 167 of S. Typhimurium, S. Enteritidis and chloramphenicol resistant S. Schwarzengrund, but some drug resistant genes, such as PSE-1, cml/tetR and flo were not determined but other drug resistant genes, for example TEM and int were found. The detection rates of spvC, TEM and int gene was 35.3%, 29.3% and 72.5%, respectively. The TEM gene was highly popular in S. Typhimurium, which was detected from ampicillin and amoxicillin resistant strains as 95.9%. int gene was able to detect from all the isolates identified as multidrug resistsnt (MDR), particularly DT193 was thought as the most prevalent virulence and multidrug resistance isolate. The major plasmid profile and drug resistance pattern of DT193 were 90, 40, 10.5, 6.3, 3.0kb and ACCbDNaPSSuT, respectively. MDR was commonly found in other phage types, particularly DT104, U302 and DT203.

A water sample was taken from a black smoker chimney of a deep-sea hydrothermal vent by using an unmanned submersible "Dolphin 3K". The temperature of the hydrothermal fluid from the black smoker was $276^{\circ}C$. After isolation by repeated serial dilutions, An extremely thermophilic bacterial strain was selected. The strain designated as DT1331, was an anaerobic, non-motile, coccoid shaped bacterium with about 0.5 to $1.0\;\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter. The strain DT1331 could grow up to $93^{\circ}C$, but the optimum temperature of this strain was $80^{\circ}C$. The growth occurred in the pH range of 4.5 to 8.5 and the optimum pH was 6.0. The strain DT1331 required 1% to 5% NaCl for growth and cell lysis was observed below 1% NaCl concentration. The bacterium could grow on polypeptides such as tryptone, peptone, soytone and on proteins such as casein or gelatin. However, no growth was observed on single amino acids, sugar and organic acids. Hydrogen gas was detected slightly during growth. This bacterium obligately required elemental sulfur and hydrogen sulfide gas was produced during growth.

In an effort to estimate secondary $PM_{10}$ concentrations and their diurnal variations at different photochemical activities, $PM_{10}$, CO, and $O_3$ concentrations obtained from the ambient air quality network located in Seoul are analyzed for the period from 2000 to 2005. In order to classify the photochemical activities on a daily basis, measured ${\Delta}O_{3,\;max-min}$ (maximum $O_3$-minimum $O_3$) and ${\int}(hv)dt$ which represents accumulated daily insolation, were used to classify each day into three regimes: 1) low photochemical reactivity; ${\Delta}O_{3,\;max-min}\;{\leq}\;40\;ppb$, and ${\int}(hv)dt\;{\leq}\;4000\;W/m^2$, 2) moderate photochemical reactivity; $40\;ppb\;<\;{\Delta}O_{3,\;max-min}\;{\leq}\;60\;ppb$, and $4000\;{\leq}\;{\int}(hv)de\;{\leq}\;6000\;W/m^2$, and 3) high photochemical reactivity; ${\Delta}O_{3,\;max-min}\;>\;60\;ppb$, and ${\int}(hv)dt\;{\geq}\;6000\;W/m^2$. The ratio of ($PM_{10}$/CO) obtained at low photochemical activity regime was used as an index of tracer for the estimation of secondary $PM_{10}$ at higher photochemical activity regimes. The results show that the estimated secondary $PM_{10}$ concentrations for moderate and high photochemical regimes are found to be 18.8% ($10.9\;{\mu}g/m^3$), and 35.0% ($26.2\;{\mu}g/m^3$), respectively. Diurnal variation of secondary $PM_{10}$ for the moderate photochemical regime shows weak but noticeable patterns. However, the highly activated photochemical regime shows strong diurnal variations of secondary $PM_{10}$ concentrations with the maximum value of $35.1\;{\mu}g/m^3$ at 1300LST.

연구목적 유방암 환자가 치료 초기에 경험하는 디스트레스는 유방암 생존기까지 지속되는 만성 디스트레스의 위험요소로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 유방암 첫 치료로써 수술을 받은 환자를 대상으로 디스트레스 온도계(distress thermometer, DT)를 이용하여 디스트레스의 정도와 이와 연관된 인자를 조사하는 것이다. 방 법 2013년 4월 1일부터 2017년 3월 31일 사이에 경북대학교병원에서 유방암 첫 치료로써 수술을 받고 일주일 이내에 있는 환자를 대상으로 하였다. DT로 디스트레스의 정도를 측정하였고 한국판 세계보건기구 삶의 질척도 단축형(Korean version of the World Health Oganization Quality of Life Scale Abbreviated Version, WHOQOL-BREF)으로 삶의 질을 측정하였다. 그 외 기본 인구학적 자료, 암 및 암 치료 관련 자료를 수집하였다. DT 점수 4점 이상인 대상자를 디스트레스 군으로 분류하였다. 디스트레군과 연관된 인자를 알기 위하여 디스트레스군과 비-디스트레스 군 사이의 변수 차이를 단변수 분석(univariable analysis) 하였다. 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하여 디스트레스 군을 예측할 수 있는 인자를 조사하였다. 결 과 대상자는 총 307명이었다. 이 중에서 DT에 응답하지 않은 39명, WHOQOL-BREF에서 6개 항목 이상 답을 하지 않아서 채점을 할 수 없었던 4명을 제외한 264명이 분석 대상자였다. 65.5%(n=173)가 디스트레스 군으로 분류되었다. 단변수 분석(univariable analysis)에서 디스트레스 군이 비-디스트레스 군과 비교하여 더 젊었으며(p=0.045), 배우자와 동거하지 않는 경우가 더 많았다(p=0.032). 삶의 질 영역에서 디스트레스 군이 전반적 삶의 질(p=0.009), 전반적 건강상태(p=0.005), 신체건강영역 p<0.001), 심리건강영역(p=0.002)에서 더 나쁜 삶의 질을 보였다. 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 60세 이상의 환자에 비하여 40-49세의 환자가 디스트레스에 이환 될 확률이 약 3배 높았고[OR=2.992, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.241-7.215], WHOQOL-BREF영역 중 신체건강영역이 디스트레스를 예측할 수 있는 인자로 나타났다(OR=0.777, 95% CI 0.692-0.873). 결 론 유방암 수술 치료 초기단계에서부터 상당한 수의 환자가 유의한 수준의 디스트레스를 경험하고 있다. 특히 생산성이 왕성한 삶의 주기에 있는 40대의 환자가 60대 이상의 환자에 비하여 수술 후 일주일 이내에 겪는 심리적 고통이 심할 가능성이 높다. 이러한 환자들에게서 수술 초기부터 신체적 삶의 질과 연관된 영역(예 : 통증, 불면, 피로 등)에 대해 평가하고 개입하는 것이 디스트레스 수준을 경감시킬 가능성이 있다.

We consider the stochastic differential inclusion of the form $dX_t\;\in\;\sigma(t,\;X_t)db_t+b(t,\;X_t)dt$, where $\sigma$, b are set-valued maps, B is a standard Brownian motion. We prove the boundedness of solutions under the assumption that $\sigma$ and b satisfy the local Lipschitz property and linear growth.

Studies on the effect of quinones on cardiac function has been conducted with normal hearts. But not with injured hearts, I.e. ischemia/reperfusion-injured heart. Quinone compounds are known to produce oxygen free radicals during metabolism, and for this reason, quinones are implicated in the aggravation of ischemia/reperfusion injury or cardioprotection, as in the case of ischemic preconditioning depending on the experimental conditions. The present study was carried out to examine the effect of 2-chloro-3-(4-cyanophenylamino)-1.4-naphthoquinone (NQ-Y15) on cardiac function of ischemic/reperfused and normal rat hearts. In isolated perfused hearts, various functional parameters such as left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (EDP) and maximum positive and negative dP/dt ($[\pm}dP/dt_{max}$), time to contracture, heart rate (HR) and coronary flow rate (CFR) were measured before and 30 min after dosing and following 25 min ischemia/30min reperfusion. NQ-Y15 increased LVDP, +dP/$d_{max}$and -dP/$dt_{min}$ by 18%. 30%, and 40%, respectively. There were no significant changes in other haemodynamic parameters. After ischemia/reperfusion injury, pretreatment with NQ-Y15 induced a significant decrease in LVDP and $[\pm}dP/dt_{max}$, but an increase in EDP. LDH-release was not significantly increased. These results suggested that NQ-Y15 may augment the ventricular contractility but it makes hearts more vulnerable to ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Purpose: To evaluate compliance by analyzing and comparing treatment duration, degree of improvement after treatment and treatment response of oral lichen planus (OLP) patients according to characteristics of them and the severity of the lesion. Methods: According to treatment process, 132 subjects with OLP who first visited the Department of Oral Medicine at the Pusan National University Dental Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020were classified into three groups: Treatment completed (CT) group, Under treatment (UT) group, and Dropped out during follow-up (DT) group. The reticulation/keratosis, erythema, and ulceration (REU) scoring system was used to assess the severity of OLP. The degree of improvement after treatment was evaluated in CT group. Results: There were 53 (40.15%) CT, 27 (20.45%) UT and 52 (39.39%) DT. In CT group, according to initial REU score there was a statistical difference in the degree of improvement, but not in the length of time to complete treatment. There was no statistical difference between the days it took for patients to feel symptom relief, and the days of entire treatment among three groups. However, there was a positive correlation between the REU score of gingiva and duration of treatment in DT group. In the CT and DT groups, there was a correlation between the length of time taken to relieve symptoms and the duration of treatment. Conclusions: The severity of the gingival lesion and the initial response to treatment have a large effect on the entire treatment period and prognosis, so it should be considered when explaining the disease prognosis and treatment period to patients, and the clinician needs to focus on initial symptom relief.

We investigated the period variation for 79 eclipsing binary systems using 20 years (1990-2009) of EROS, Macho, and OGLE survey observations. We discovered 9 apsidal motions, 8 mass transfers, 5 period increasing and decreasing systems, 12 light-travel-time effects, 5 eccentric systems and 40 other systems showing no period variations. We select 3 representative eclipsing binary systems; EROS 1052 for apsidal motion, EROS 1056 for mass transfer, and EROS 1037 for the light-travel-time effect. We determine the period variation rate (dP/dt), orbital parameters of the 3rd body (e3, ${\omega}_3$, $f(m_3)$, $P_3$, $T_3$), apsidal motion parameters ($d{\omega}/dt$, U, Ps, Pa, e) and apsidal motion period by analyzing the light curves and O-C diagrams.
