  • 여러 가지 생리랴 활성기능을 가지고 있다고 알려진 유산균에 대해 활성산소 소거효과 및 면역 증강 효과 를 검토하여 보았다. 유산균 배양액 및 파쇄액의 활성산소 소거효과를 각각 다른 검색방법에 의해 살펴 본 결과, 유산균 배 양액 및 Mn-complex는 XOD assay와 paraquat에 대한 반응에서 활성 산소 소거 효과가 뛰어나 superoxide anion radical 소거와 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났고, 배양액 중에서 $Mn^{2+}$와 결합하는 성분은 누로 peptide나 amino acid인 것으로 추정된다. 한편 cell free extract는 광용혈 시험에서 좋은 효과를 나타내어 singlet oxygen 소거와 관련이 있는 것으로 생각되며, 또한 cell free extract 는 T세포를 자극하여 생성된 액성인자에 의해 B세포에 항체 생성능을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the radiotherapy treatment outcome of patients in stage IE and IIE nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma. Materials and Methods: From August 1999 to August 2009, 46 patients with stage IE and IIE nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma were treated by definitive radiotherapy and chemotherapy. 33 patients were treated with chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy (CT + RT) and they received 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions. 13 patients were treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and they received 40 Gy in 20 fractions. Results: The median follow-up period was 4.6-137.6 months (median, 50.2 months) for all patients. The 4-year overall survival was 68.6% and 4-year disease free survival (DFS) was 61.9%. The 4-year locoregional recurrence free survival was 65.0%, and 4-year distant metastasis free survival (DMFS) was 66.2%. For patients treated with CT + RT, 15 patients (45.5%) achieved complete response after chemotherapy, and 13 patients (39.4%) achieved partial response. 13 patients (81.8%) achieved complete response after radiotherapy, and 6 patients (18.2%) achieved partial response. For patients treated with CCRT, 11 patients (84.6%) achieved complete response, and one patient (7.7%) achieved partial response. In univariate analysis, presence of cervical lymph node metastasis was only significant prognostic factor for DFS and DMFS. Conclusion: This study did not show satisfactory overall survival rate and disease free survival rate of definitive radiotherapy and chemotherapy for stage IE and IIE nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma. For patients with cervical lymph node metastasis, further investigation of new chemotherapy regimens is necessary to reduce the distant metastasis.

  • Four adult rams ($22.25{\pm}0.90kg$) were used in a $4{\times}4$ latin square design to evaluate the rations without ($T_1$) or with supplementation of sunflower acid oil at 5 ($T_2$), 10 ($T_3$) or calcium soap at 10% of dietary DM ($T_4$) on nutrient digestibility and balances of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus. The basal ration contained 60 parts Brazilian napier grass hay and 40 parts concentrate mixture. The DM, CF, NDF and ADF digestibilities and nitrogen retention (g/d) decreased (p<0.01) by inclusion of sunflower acid oil at 5% of dietary DM. In addition, depression (p<0.01) in digestibilities of CP, nitrogen free extract (NFE), cellulose, hemicellulose, retention of calcium and phosphorus (g/d) were also observed with increasing the level of sunflower acid oil to 10% of dietary DM. The EE digestibility, total digestible nutrients (TDN) content and calcium retention (g/d) were significantly higher (p<0.01) for ration supplemented with calcium soap. It is concluded that sunflower acid oil supplementation in free form as low as 5% of dietary DM is deleterious to fibre digestion in sheep while as calcium soap, it can be fed up to 10% of dietary DM as an energy source without any adverse effect.

  • CD4 T cells differentiate into $ROR{\gamma}t/IL$-17A-expressing cells in the small intestine following colonization by segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB). However, it remains unclear whether SFB-specific CD4 T cells can differentiate directly from naïve precursors, and whether their effector differentiation is solely directed towards the Th17 lineage. In this study, we used adoptive T cell transfer experiments and showed that naïve CD4 T cells can migrate to the small intestinal lamina propria (sLP) and differentiate into effector T cells that synthesize IL-17A in response to SFB colonization. Using single cell RT-PCR analysis, we showed that the progenies of SFB responding T cells are not uniform but composed of transcriptionally divergent populations including Th1, Th17 and follicular helper T cells. We further confirmed this finding using in vitro culture of SFB specific intestinal CD4 T cells in the presence of cognate antigens, which also generated heterogeneous population with similar features. Collectively, these findings indicate that a single species of intestinal bacteria can generate a divergent population of antigen-specific effector CD4 T cells, rather than it provides a cytokine milieu for the development of a particular effector T cell subset.

  • From March of 1979 through December of 1982, 84 Patients with supraglottic carcinoma were seen and evaluated in the Department of Therapeutic Radiology, Seoul National University Hospital. Of these, 68 patients were treated with a curative intent by employing either radiotherapy alone or a combined approach of radiotherapy Plus surgery. Sixteen patients refused to complete the treatment program. Seventy-three per cent of patients had $T_3\;and\;T_4$ lesions and $63\%$ of patients had lymph node metastasis at the time of diagnosis. Actuarial recurrence-free survival at 3 year was: Stage $I\~II\;62\;%,\;Stage\;III \;54\%,\;Stage\;IV\;18\%$, For $T_{1-2},\;T_3\;and\;T_4$ lesions, the actuarial recurrence free survival at 3 years were 50\%,\;34\;%\;and \;9\%$ respectively. Of 39 Patients with treatment failure, 29 Patients $(78\%)$ had uncontrol or ultimate recurrence at the primary site while 9 patients having lymph node recurrence, 14 patients$(21\%)$ had lymph node recurrence, and S patients had distant metastasis. It is suggested that planned combined radiotherapy is indicated for advanced but rescetable supraglottic carcinoma.

  • $Bi_{4}Ti_{3}O_{12}$ (BiT) thin films were grown on the Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/si substrate using a metal organic decomposition (MOD) method. Effects of oxygen annealing on the structural properties and dielectric properties of the BiT thin films were investigated. The BiT films were well developed when rapid thermal annealed at $>500^{\circ}C$ in oxygen ambient. For the film annealed at $700^{\circ}C$, no crystalline phase was observed under oxygen free annealing atmosphere while its crystallinity was significantly enhanced as the oxygen pressure increased. The BiT film also exhibited a smooth surface with defect free grains. A high dielectric constant and a low dielectric loss were achieved satisfactory in the frequency range from 75 kHz to 1 MHz. Especially, the BiT film, annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ and 10 torr oxygen pressure, showed good dielectric properties: dielectric constant of 51 and dielectric loss of 0.2 % at 100 kHz. Its leakage current was also considerably improved, being as $0.62\;nA/cm^2$ at 1 V. Therefore, it is considered that the oxygen annealing has effects on an enhancement of crystallinity and dielectric properties of the BiT films.

  • Purpose: Ventricular repolarization is assessed using the QT interval corrected by the heart rate (QTc) via an electrocardiogram (ECG). Prolonged QTc is associated with an increased risk of arrhythmias and cardiac mortality. As there have been few reports regarding the effects of hyperthyroidism on ventricular repolarization, we studied the association between serum free thyroxine (free T4 [fT4]) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and the QTc interval. Methods: Thirty-eight patients with hyperthyroidism (<30 years old) were included, and we used their clinical records and available ECGs (between August 2003 and August 2011) to evaluate the association between their fT4 and TSH levels and their QTc interval. In addition, we studied the ECGs of 72 age-matched patients with no hyperthyroidism (control group) and compared their data with that from the patients group. Results: The QTc duration in patients with hyperthyroidism was significantly prolonged compared to that in the control subjects (P<0.001). In addition, the number of hyperthyroid patients with abnormal prolonged QTc was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.001). Among the patients with hyperthyroidism, patients with prolonged QTc and borderline QTc had higher fT4 levels and there was positive correlation between their fT4 levels and their QTc interval (P<0.05). However, no correlation was observed between their TSH levels and their QTc interval. Conclusion: We report that hyperthyroidism is associated with QTc prolongation. The correlation between the fT4 levels and the QTc interval suggests that thyroid status is associated with QTc values and the risk of cardiac mortality.
