어류 vitellogenin은 난황전구체로 난형성과정동안에 estradiol의 체내 순환에 의해 암컷의 간에서 생산되며 alkylphenol류와 같은 비이온성 계면활성제 등의 내분비계 장애물질에 의해 수컷에서도 생산된다. 물 환경의주요 생물종인 어류는 내분비계장애물질에 의해 암컷에서는 번식률 저하와 함께 수컷에서는 정소의 축소 및 이에 따른 암컷화가 관찰된다. 특히 수컷에서 내분비계 장애물질에 의해 유도된 vitellogenin의 생성을 이용하여 환경오염에 의해 유도된 생물체의 유전자 발현 변화 뿐만 아니라 이를 토대로 특정지역의 환경오염을 모니터링할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 어류의 vitetlogenin를 이용하여 수환경의 내분비계장애물질의 검출과 환경오염모니터링을 위한 biomarker로서의 유용성을 검토하였다.

Purpose: The study aimed to examine the effects of sleep pattern, stress, and attitude towards menstruation, and behavior that causes a reduction in exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the course of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in female adolescents. Method: In total, 200 girls attending middle school in K city were recruited via convenience sampling between December 11 and 31, 2018, and 192 subjects were selected for the analysis. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. Results: Overall, 9 (4.7%), 152 (79.2%), and 31 (16.1%) students had morning-, intermediate-, and evening-type sleep pattern, respectively. The mean scores for school-related stress were highest. Scores for stress regarding relationships with friends were the lowest. The mean score for attitudes toward menstruation was 72.33 out of 147. The mean score for behavior that led to a reduction in EDCs exposure was 56.57 out of 85. The mean scores for PMS severity were 25.30 and 38.39 out of 60. Analysis of factors affecting PMS revealed that severity of menstrual pain (β=.28), use of analgesics during menstruation (β=.17), family history of PMS (β=-.16), stress (β=.19), and behavior that reduces EDCs exposure (β=-.17) exerted significant effects on PMS. The explanatory power of these variables was 37%. Conclusion: The findings propose the necessity of a health intervention program including educational information, which can reduce PMS in adolescents, induce the behaviors which can decrease exposure to EDCs, and activities for managing the stress levels.

본 연구는 4가지 종류의 재조합 발광성 미생물을 이용하여 내분비계 장애물질로 알려진 여러 가지 물질에 대한 cellular toxicity를 유전자 손상, 단백질 손상, 산화적 손상, 생물막 손상으로 구별하여 확인하였다. 4가지 발광성 미생물의 반응성에 따라 내분비계 장애물질의 독성 형태를 규명할 수 있었고, 생명체에 미치는 독성 정도를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 유전자 손상을 탐지할 수 있는 DPD2794의 경우 유전자 손상을 일으키는 형태에 따라 두 그룹으로 보다 세분화가 가능하였다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 내분비계 장애물질이 호르몬 교란으로 인한 피해뿐만 아니라 cellular toxicity로 인한 피해 역시 입힐 수 있는 것으로 확인하였고, 이들 발광성 박테리아를 이용하여 그 독성 형태를 정확하게 파악할 수 없었던, 유해 물질들의 분류를 위한 screening method로의 개발 역시 가능할 것이다.

장기간 노출 시 발암 등 인체 유해성을 갖는 환경유래 내분비장애물질(endocrine disrupting chemicals, EDCs)에 대한 선택적이고 민감한 노출지표를 개발하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 DNA microarray를 이용하였다. 피험자는 아직 특별한 질환을 갖지 않는 18세 이상 연령, 성을 맞춘 EDCs고농도 노출군(N = 16)과 저농도군(N = 16)으로 구성되었다. 노출정도 구분은 10년 이상 거주지가 K산업폐기물 소각장과 2.5 km 반경 내, 외 인지에 따라 고노출군,저노출군으로 구분하였다. 피험자의 말초혈에서 total RNA를 분리, 각 군당 B인씩 pool로 cDNA를 합성하여 oligonucleotide DNA 칩에 적용하였다. 유전자발현의 차이를 GenePixPro 4.0 software를 이용하여 분석하였다. 총 3장의 칩을 이용하여 공통적으로 저노출군보다 고노출군에서 2배 이상 발현의 증가를 보인 유전자는 plasminogen activator(PLAT)등 12종이 관찰되었고, l/2이하로 발현의 감소를 보인 유전자는 kallikrein 3 (KLK3)등 29종이었다. 이 들 유전자는 PLAT등 면역계 반응에 관여하는 유전자 및 apoptosis, transport, G protein, chromatin, 암화, 발생 (development), 대사 등에 관여하는 유전자들이었다. 그러므로 KLK3등 본 연구에서 발굴한 유전자는 향후 확대된 인구에서 본 연구 결과의 확인을 통하여 EDCs특이적 노출지표로써, 나아가 암 등 EDCs관련 질병의 기전 및 병인학을 구명하는데 이용가치가 높다고 사료된다.

Microalgae are sensitive indicators of environmental changes, and hence they are widely used in environmental risk assessments and for the development of discharge guidelines. Here we evaluated the toxicity of metals and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) to the marine green microalga, Tetraselmis suecica. The toxicants investigated included the metals, Cu, Ni, and Pb; and the EDCs, bisphenol A (BPA), endosulfan (ES), and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB). The endpoints were variations in cell counts and chlorophyll a levels. T. suecica displayed a varied pattern of sensitivity to the toxicants. Based on the 72-h median effective concentration ($EC_{50}$), ES (0.045 mg/L) was most toxic to T. suecica, followed by PCB (3.96 mg/L) and Pb (9.62 mg/L). Interestingly, T. suecica was relatively tolerant to Cu (43.03 mg/L). The 72-h $EC_{50}$ values of Ni and BPA were approximately 16 mg/L. Our data suggest that this species may be relatively tolerant to most of the chemicals within their permissible limits in the environment.

Due to the fourth-instar larvae of C. riparius have a sensitive to ecdysteroidal molting hormones for the life cycle developments, accordingly the emerged adult affected corresponding to larval phase's environments. The emerged female from larval phase exposure to DEHP observed a fact body and clumsy fling behavior in females. The body volume of treated female groups was clearly larger than that of control fe- males. In the 2D/E gel 1108 protein spots were identified. The visualized protein spots allowed extraction of 27 protein spots differed more than 3 fold in DEHP treated animals, which was approximately 2.4％ of the total protein spots. In this view, the body volume (or morphological characters) was well observed and detected faster than physiological detection for various EDCs. In this study, the body volume as a detecting po-int for EDCs suggested a bio-marker in individual levels.

Effect of 4-nonylphenol (4-NP), endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), on glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) and glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) were investigated in the plasma of juvenile rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli. Fish were injected with 4­NP (10, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight) in $70\%$ ethanol twice at 3-day intervals and plasma sampling were extracted at 7 days after the last injection. Controls received solvent only. 4-NP significant increased GOT in a dose-dependent manner. GPT was markedly elevated to $61\%$ (P<0.05) and $82\%$ (P<0.01) than that of the control at the 4-NP doses of 100 and 200mg, respectively. These results suggest that the estrogenic activity of 4-NP increase plasma GOT and GPT by toxic effect on hepatocyte.

A Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) is a pathologic fluid collection within an abnormally formed space, resulting from an internal degloving injury between the muscle fascia and subcutaneous fat layer. Due to its resistance to conservative treatments such as drainage or compression dressing, various therapeutic methods have been developed for MLL. However, no standardized guidelines currently exist. Recently, endoscopic debridement and cutaneo-fascial suture (EDCS) has been introduced for the treatment of MLL, particularly for large lesions resistant to conservative approaches. While this procedure is known to be effective, limited reports are available on potential complications. The authors present a case of skin necrosis following EDCS for a massive MLL.
