Objectives : The aim was to identify the inhibitory effects of Liriopis Tuber on bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis by analysing the changes of imflammatory cell cytokines and SHI(Semiquantitative Histological Index), Materials and Methods : In this study fibrosis prone C57BL/6J mice were used. Control group was treated with blomycin(0.06mg/0.1 ml) by IT(intratracheal) instillation which is a popular method of inducing lung fibrosis and sample group took Liriopis Tuber water extract(38.0mg/10g body weight) orally for 14 days after IT instillation of blomycin. We measured the total and differential count of WBC, $IFN-{\gamma}$ & IL-4 in mice BALF and SHI(Semiquantitative Histological Index) from lung tissues of mice. BALF and lung tissues of mice were taken 14 days after IT instillation of blomycin. Results : In sample group total WBC count, proportion of neutrophil, SHI and IL-4 significantly(p<0.05) decreased, proportion of macrophage significantly(p<0.05) increased and proportion of lymphocyte, $IFN-{\gamma}$ did not decrease significantly. Conclusions : This study suggests that Liriopis Tuber has an inhibitory effects of pulmonary fibrosis by attenuation of inflammation and Th2 immune response. To determine whether this herbal medicine contribute to cure and prophylaxis of pulmonary fibrosis, further studies on the role of $IFN-{\gamma}$ relating to fibrosis are required.

Flammulina velutipes is an edible mushroom and contains a lot of fiber, vitamin $B_1$, $B_2$, niacin and folic acid. This study was conducted to explore the effects of the Flammulina velutipes mushroom on immune cells and immunity. Th1 cytokine productions as $IFN-{\gamma}$, $TNF-{\alpha}$, and IL-2 were measured in an activated macrophage by Flammulina velutipes water extract in seven concentrations (0, 5, 10, 50, 100, 250, 500, and $1,000{\mu}g/mL$). Also, the splenocyte proliferation index was measured at 48 hours after treatment of the Flammulina velutipes water extract in seven concentrations or mitogen, LPS and ConA. The $IFN-{\gamma}$ and $TNF-{\alpha}$ productions were increased by treatment of the Flammulina velutipes water extract. The $TNF-{\alpha}$ production was significantly higher in the $50{\sim}1,000{\mu}g/mL$ Flammulina velutipes water extract treated macrophages. The $IFN-{\gamma}$ production of macrophages treated with the Flammulina velutipes water extract increased significantly in all groups, and the highest $1000{\mu}g/mL$ concentration. The splenocyte proliferation index was enhanced when the $10{\sim}1,000{\mu}g/mL$ Flammulina velutipes water extracts were treated compared to the control. These primary results suggest that Flammulina velutipes may enhance the immune function by activation of the macrophage and spleen cell.

고선량 감마선 조사에 의한 계란의 저장 중 품질 변화를 측정하기 위해 신선란을 $^{60}Co$를 이용하여 조사선량을 0, 1, 5, 10, 30 kGy로 하여 조사한 후 30일간 저장 실험을 수행하였다. 조사된 계란의 품질 변화는 난황계수, 난황 색깔, 난백 pH, 난백 점도, 계란 중량, 난백 단백질의 SDS-PAGE 패턴, circular dichroism(CD), fluorescence spectroscopy 등을 측정함으로써 살펴보았다. 저장기간 중 난황계수는 감마선 조사된 계란과 대조구 모두 감소하는 경향을 보였는데 선량이 증가할수록 난황계수는 감소하였고 10 kGy와 30 kGy 등 고선량으로 조사된 계란에서 난황계수가 일시적으로 증가하는 현상을 보였다. 난황 색깔은 선량이 증가함에 따라 밝은 노란색을 나타냈으나 저장 기간 동안 큰 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 난백 점도는 선량이 증가할수록 감소하였고 저장 중 점도가 감소하는 현상을 보였으며 조사된 계란의 난백 pH가 대조구에 비해 높았고 저장 중 pH는 증가를 보였다. 저장 중 난중 감소율은 증가하였고 선량별 뚜렷한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 난백 단백질의 SDS-PAGE 패턴은 조사 선량이 증가할수록 단백질의 변화가 켰는데 10 kGy 이상 고선량 조사에서는 저분자화 뿐만 아니라 고분자화 패턴도 보였다. CD와 fluorescence spectroscopy 결과 또한 감마선조사에 의한 단백질의 2차, 3차구조 변화를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 계란의 감마선조사에 있어 품질 유지를 위해서는 선량 범위에 있어 보다 신중을 기해야 한다는 것을 시사한다.

일반적으로 호흡연동방사선치료(gated radiation therapy)의 평가를 위해 호흡에 의한 장기의 움직임을 모사하는 움직이는 팬텀(moving phantom)을 사용한다. 표적(target)은 모든 방향으로 움직이기 때문에 모든 방향의 움직임을 고려하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 감마지표(gamma index) 분석을 통한 호흡연동방사선치료의 평가방법을 제시하고 움직임영역(motion range)에 따른 적절한 연동창(gating window)의 크기를 알아보고자 한다. 두미축(craniocaudal) 방향으로 움직임을 모사하는 팬텀을 제작하였다. 이 팬텀은 움직이는 받침대(moving platform), 2차원 이온전리함배열(I'm MatriXX, IBA Dosimetry, Germany), 및 고체물팬텀(solid water phantom)으로 이루어졌다. 6 MV 에너지의 광자선을 $4{\times}4cm^2$의 조사면(field size)으로 호흡연동방사선치료 시스템을 이용하여 팬텀을 각각 1, 2, 3, 4, 및 5 cm 만큼 움직이도록 하고 방사선을 조사하였다. 연동창은 각각 40~60%, 30~70%, 및 0~90%으로 설정하였다. 2차원 이온전리함배열은 각 시나리오에 따라 선량분포를 획득하였고 $4{\times}4cm^2$ 조사면으로 정지한 상태에서 조사한 선량분포와 비교하였다. 허용범위를 3%/3 mm로 설정하고 감마지표를 계산하였다. 연동창(gating window)의 크기가 클수록 합격률(pass rate)는 낮아졌고, 운동영역(motion range)이 커질수록 합격률은 낮아졌다. 호흡연동방사선치료를 시행하지 않고 운동영역이 2 cm의 병소를 치료할 경우 합격률은 96% 이하로 현저히 떨어졌다. 그러나 호흡연동방사선치료를 시행하면 합격률은 99% 이상으로 올릴 수 있었다. 운동영역이 4 cm 이상일 경우 호흡연동방사선치료를 하더라도 연동창을 30~70%로 선택할 경우 합격률이 97%를 넘지 못하였다. 그러나 연동창을 40~60%를 선택할 경우 합격률은 99% 이상이었다.

This paper investigates the relation between the Process capability index(PCI) and the quality assurance level under various conditions. The effect of the off-targetness of the process mean, deviation from the nomality, the estimation error, and tile measurement error on the quality assurance level is evaluated. Various distributions such as the Student-t, the chi-square, the gamma, the Weibull, and the log-normal distributions are considered to evaluate the deviation from the nomality. The quality levels under abnormal conditions turn out to be severely different from that under the standard condition. We provide tables and graphs of the quality assurance level on various abnormal conditions. In order for the industry users to use the PCI properly, they should refer to the tables and graphs, especially when they are not certain about the standard assumptions on which the PCI depends.

The purpose of this study was to develop a method by which the sensitivity of radionuclide liver imaging for detection of liver cirrhosis could be enhanced. Dynamic blood flow scan were performed 21 cases of liver cirrhosis patients by using computerized gamma camera named arterialization index. The results were as follows: 1) Arterialization index were higher in liver cirrhosis comparing to normal value 0.33 and its mean is 2. 02. 2) Comparing to static liver scan, higher sensitivity in dynamic hepatic blood flow scan for detection of liver cirrhosis. Sensitivity for detection of liver cirrhosis is over 90%. 3) There are no correlation between arterialization index and serum albumin level. The use of hepatic dynamic blood flow scan proved effective in detection of liver cirrhosis. However, the test may be used as an aid in distinguishing between normal and pathologic livers.

Purpose: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of copper reduction on angiogenesis-related factors in patients with glioblastoma multiforme treated by gamma knife radiosurgery. Materials and Methods: In the present block randomized, placebo-controlled trial, fifty eligible patients with a diagnosis of glioblastoma multiforme who were candidates for gamma knife radiosurgery were randomly assigned into two groups to receive daily either 1gr penicillamine and a low copper diet or placebo for three months. The intervention started on the same day as gamma knife radiosurgery. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and copper levels were measured at baseline and after the intervention. The serum copper level was used as the final index of compliance with the diet. In order to control probable side effects of intervention, laboratory tests were conducted at the beginning, middle and end of the study. Results: The patients had a mean age and Karnofsky Performance Scale of 43.7 years and 75 respectively. Mean serum copper levels were significantly reduced in intervention group. Mean survival time was 18.5 months in intervention group vs. 14.9 in placebo group. VEGF and IL-6 levels in the intervention group were also significantly reduced compared to the placebo group and $TNF-{\alpha}$ increased less. Conclusions: It seems that reducing the level of copper in the diet and dosing with penicillamine leads to decline of angiogenesis-related factors such as VEGF, IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$. Approaches targeting angiogenesis may improve survival and can be used as a future therapeutic strategy.
