The Evaluation of patients complaining of psychiatric symptoms following head injury is much affected by the results of various tests. The objecive of this paper is to investigate the effectiveness of each lest by comparing the structual and fuctional brain studies. The subjects were 93 organic menial disorder in and out patients at the Dept. of Neuropsychiatry of the Kyung Hee University Hospital. After carrying out MRI, CT, SPECT, EEG, the results of each were analysed for the sesitivity and ability to detect focal lesion. The degree of inter-test correlations of lest results were also investigated. Furthermore, the characteristic features of psychological tests were studied and the relationship between each of above mentioned tests and psychological test was examined. As for the test sensitivity to diagnosis, the SPECT was the most superior followed by MRI, CT, EEG in thai order. In the case of abnormality, SPECT ranked 1st in detection of focal lesion, followed by MRI, CT in that order. In the inter-test result correlation, the correlation of SPECT-MRI was statistically significant. When mare than moderate abnormality EEG finding was reported, it correlated significantly with that of MRI findings. In the MMPI, the average scores on F, Hs, D, Hy, Pa, Pt, Sc subscales were above 60. Abnormal SPECT group scored significantly high on the F, Pd, Pa, Sc, Ma scales and therefore in comparison ot the SPECT normal group, displayed more psychotic features. In K-WAIS, the mean full scale IQ was down to 77. 23(Verbal IQ : 78.76, Performance IQ : 77.44) but there was no characterogic significant relationship between the lowered to and abnormal SPECT, MRI, CT and EEG results. In conclusion, 1) The SPECT was mast superior in sensitivity and detection of focal lesions. In comparision with other tests, the results of SPECT correlated well with MRI had thus is thought to be very usefull testing method in the evaluation of organic mental disorder patients. 2) The MRI had relatively high sensitivity, ability to detect focal lesion and superior correlation with other test. 3) Although EEG fared less an sensitivity in comparison to other tests, the results of above moderate abnormal grade group and that of MRI correlated significantly. 4) In the MMPI highly scored in F, Hs, D, Hy, Pa, Pt, Sc subscales and abnormal SPECT patients were shown to display more sever psychotic features. There was no significant character relationship between the lowered IQ(in K-WAIS) and abnormal findings on MRI, CT, SPECT, EEG.

Rendering the brain ischemic would evoke the cerebral ischemic reflex which is characterized by an arterial pressor response, apnea and bradycardia. Since the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) is known to play a key role in the maintenance of normal cardiopulmonary activity, during the cerebral ischemic reflex some cardiac related cells should be excited and respiration related cells inhibited. In this context, the responses of RVLM neurons to systemie and focal hypoxia were analyzed in the present study. Twenty-five adult cats of either sex were anesthetized with ${\alpha}-chloralose$ and the single neuronal activities were identified from RVLM area. For the induction of focal hypoxia in the recording site, sodium cyanide was applied iontophoretically and for systemic hypoxia the animal was ventilated with nitrogen gas for a twenty-second period. Cellular activities were analyzed in terms of their discharge pattern and responses to the hypoxia by using post-stimulus time and single-pass time histograms. Of eighteen cardiac related cells recorded from the RVLM area, twelve cells were excited by iontophoresed sodium cyanide and of twenty-five respiration related cells, fourteen cells were excited by iontophoresed sodium cyanide. Remaining cells were either inhibited or unaffected. Eight of fifteen cells tested with iontophoresed sodium lactate were excited and remaining seven cells were inhibited. Systemic hypoxia induced by nitrogen gas inhalation elevated the arterial blood pressure, but excited, inhibited or unaffected the single neuronal activities. Some cells showed initial excitation followed by inhibition during the systemic hypoxia. Bilateral vagotomy resulted in a decrease of arterial pressor response to the systemic hypoxia, and a slight decrease in the rhythmicity related to cardiac and/or respiratory rhythms. The single neuronal responses to either systemic or focal hypoxia were not affected qualitatively by vagotomy. From the above results, it was concluded that the majority of the cardiac- and respiration- related neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla be excited by hypoxia, not through the mediation of peripheral chemoreceptors, and along with the remaining inhibited cells, all these cells be involved in the mediation of cerebral ischemic reflex.

2000년 12월 9일 경북 영덕 해역에서 국지규모$(M_L)$ 3.7의 지진이 발생하였다. Chang and Baag (2006) 지각속도구조 모델을 적용할 경우 진앙의 위치는 $36.4462^{\circ}N,\;129.9789^{\circ}E$이며, 지체구조구상 한반도 대륙붕에 해당한다. 동해에서 대륙지각이 해양지각으로 변이되는 점을 고려하여 지각의 두께를 5 km 얇게 조정한 모델을 사용해도 진앙 위치의 변화는 거의 없었다. 파형역산을 두 모델에 적용하여 지진의 깊이와 발진기구를 계산하였다. 영덕 해역 지진의 깊이는11 ~ 12 km로 계산되었다. 지진모멘트는 $1.0{\times}10^{15}N{\cdot}m$로 추정되었는데, 이 값은 모멘트규모$(M_W)$ 3.9에 해당한다. 영덕해역 지진은 2004년 5월 29일에 발생한 울진 해역 지진과 함께 전형적인 역단층 특성을 보여주며, P축의 방향은 동남동-서북서 방향이다. 스펙트럼 분석을 통해 추정된 모멘트규모는 4.0이며, 이는 파형역산에 의해 추정된 모멘트규모와 거의 비슷하다. 평균 응력강하는 3.4 MPa로 추정되었다.

국소접착인산화효소(FAK)는 국소접착부에서 세포부착, 세포이동, 세포역학적 신호전달 등에 관여한다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 세포 외 기질(ECM)과 상호작용하는 인테그린 막단백질과 함께 위치하는 세포막 미세영역(membrane microdomain)의 종류와 ECM 구성에 따른 FAK 활성은 여전히 불분명하다. 형광 공명 에너지 전달(FRET)을 기반으로 유전적으로 인코딩 된 바이오센서는 세포 내 FAK 신호를 높은 시공간 해상도로 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 유리, 제1형 콜라겐, 피브로넥틴, 라미닌의 ECM 조건에서 FRET 기반 막 표적 FAK 바이오센서를 사용하여 지질유동섬(Lipid raft) 및 비-지질유동섬(non-Lipid raft)에서 FAK의 활성을 분석하고 시각화 하였다. 흥미롭게도, 지질유동섬에서 라미닌 조건 하의 FAK 활성은 다른 ECM 조건보다 낮았고, 비-지질유동섬에서 FAK 활성은 다른 ECM 조건보다 낮았다. 동일한 ECM 조건 상의 비교에서는 피브로넥틴 조건일 때 지질유동섬에서 비-지질유동섬 보다 높은 FAK 활성이 관측되었다. 따라서 이번 연구는 FAK 활성도가 ECM 유형 및 세포막 미세영역에 따라 특이적으로 조절되는 것을 시각적, 정량적으로 보여준다.

황색육아종성 염증은 드문 염증 반응으로서 조직병리학적으로 지방을 함유한 큰포식세포의 집단인 황색종의 소견이 특징적이다. 이 질환은 공격적 성향을 보여 종종 주변으로 국소 침습하지만, 원격 장기를 침범하는 경우는 매우 드물어 전신질환이 있는 경우에 극히 예외적으로 관찰된다. 우리는 영상의학적 검사에서 주변부 침윤을 동반한 낭성 병변으로 보이는 증례에서 심한 황색육아종성 담낭염과 드물지만 국소성 황색육아종성 신우신염을 의심하였고 수술적 절제를 통해 병리학적으로 황색육아종성 담낭염에 연관되어 병발한 국소형 황색육아종성 신우신염을 확진하였다. 우리가 아는 한, 황색육아종성 담낭염에 국소성 황색육아종성 신우신염이 병발한 경우는 이전에 보고된 바가 없다. 또한, MRI T2 강조 영상에서의 낭성 병변 주위로 아마도 황색육아종성 염증의 출혈과 섬유화를 반영할 것으로 추정되는 저신호 강도 주변부를 확인하였다.

Objective: To assess focal mineral deposition in the globus pallidus (GP) by CT and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) of MRI scans and evaluate its clinical significance, particularly cerebrovascular degeneration. Materials and Methods: This study included 105 patients (66.1 ± 13.7 years; 40 male and 65 female) who underwent both CT and MRI with available QSM data between January 2017 and December 2019. The presence of focal mineral deposition in the GP on QSM (GP_QSM) and CT (GP_CT) was assessed visually using a three-point scale. Cerebrovascular risk factors and small vessel disease (SVD) imaging markers were also assessed. The clinical and radiological findings were compared between the different grades of GP_QSM and GP_CT. The relationship between GP grades and cerebrovascular risk factors and SVD imaging markers was assessed using univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses. Results: GP_CT and GP_QSM were significantly associated (p < 0.001) but were not identical. Higher GP_CT and GP_QSM grades showed smaller gray matter (p = 0.030 and p = 0.025, respectively) and white matter (p = 0.013 and p = 0.019, respectively) volumes, as well as larger GP volumes (p < 0.001 for both). Among SVD markers, white matter hyperintensity was significantly associated with GP_CT (p = 0.006) and brain atrophy was significantly associated with GP_QSM (p = 0.032) in at univariable analysis. In multivariable analysis, the normalized volume of the GP was independently positively associated with GP_CT (p < 0.001) and GP_QSM (p = 0.002), while the normalized volume of the GM was independently negatively associated with GP_CT (p = 0.040) and GP_QSM (p = 0.035). Conclusion: Focal mineral deposition in the GP on CT and QSM might be a potential imaging marker of cerebral vascular degeneration. Both were associated with increased GP volume.
