Anemia is a usual finding in advanced malignant diseases. Various mechanisms were reported as to be involved in the development of anemia of this kind, and they may differ in individual cases. Tumor anemias may be due, for instance, to chronic blood loss, shortened life span of the red blood cells or a decreased hemopoiesis in the bone marrow. The serum iron and copper levels, total iron binding capacity, apparent half survival of $^{51}Cr$-labelled red blood cells were measured along with the ferrokinetic studies using $^{59}Fe$ in 64 patients with various malignant tumors. Following were the results: 1. The serum iron levels were decreased in all cases. There existed no correlation between the serum iron levels and the severity of the diseases. 2. The serum copper levels were increased, particularly in lung cancer, rectal cancer, hepatoma and various sarcomas. There was also no correlation between the serum copper levels and the severity of the diseases. 3. The serum iron levels appeared to be inversely proportional to the serum copper levels. 4. The total iron binding capacities were within normal limits in all cases. There were also no correlations between the total iron binding capacities, serum iron levels and the severity of the diseases. 5. The patients could be classified according to the ferrokinetic patterns, namely, that of iron deficiency anemia in 10 cases, that of refractory anemia in 6 cases, normal in 1 case and that of atypical abnormal in 9 cases. 6. Apparent half survival time of $^{51}Cr$-labelled red blood cells were definitely shortened in half of the cases.

Objective: This study was designed to investigate the correlation between gastric emptying measurement by ultrasonography and the findings of various questionnaires of functional dyspepsia (FD) or in Korean medicine to explore the possibility of quantification of questionnaires. Methods: Eighty-eight patients (44 patients with FD and 44 healthy controls) were recruited from October 2016 to November 2017. Gastric emptying half-time (T1/2) was measured by ultrasonography at fasting, and at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min after meals (apple juice, 500 ml, 224 kcal). The average half-time (average T1/2) was calculated by averaging all measured half-times. A visual analogue scale (VAS), food retention questionnaire (FRQ), damum questionnaire (DQ), cold and heat questionnaire (CHQ), deficiency and excess questionnaire (DEQ), spleen-qi deficiency questionnaire (SQDQ), Nepean dyspepsia index-Korean version (NDI-K), and quality of life of NDI (NDI-QoL) were filled out by all participants. Correlation between the average T1/2 and questionnaires were analyzed for 79 patients (37 patients with FD and 42 healthy controls) after excluding missing and erroneous data. Results: The FRQ, DEQ, SQDQ, NDI-K, and NDI-QoL scores, especially for some gastrointestinal symptoms and general weakness-related symptoms, showed statistically significant correlations with average T1/2. Conclusions: Our results suggest that gastric emptying measurement by ultrasonography may be a quantitative substitute method for some Korean medical questionnaires or for some dyspepsia-related and deficiency-related items among them. However, further studies using various measurements of gastric emptying will be needed.

A cepfialosporin with an aminothiazoiylmethoxyimino-type side chain at the 7 position and bicyclic quinolone dithicarbamate at the 3' position was synthesized. It has broad and potent antivacterial activity in vitro. The antibacterial spectrum reflects contributions of both the cephalosporin moiety and the quinolone moiety. Thus, this compound was named DACD implying a dualaction cephalosporin derivative. In this paper, the physicochemical proper-ties (lipid-water partition, pKa), stability and pharmacokinetics of DACD were determined and compared with cefotaxime 3'-norfloxacin dithiocarbamate (CENO). Stability tests were studied in pH 1.20, 6.80 and 8.00 buffers and in the presence of AB type human plasma, rat liver homogenate and its .betha.-lactamase. The pharmacokinetic parameters of DACD were evaluated in mice after a single intravenous dose of 40 mg/kg. The results are as follows. The lipid-water partition coefficient of DACD was higher than that of CENO. The calculated pKa values of CENO and DACD, were 6.82$\pm$0.03, 7.53$\pm$0.21, respectively. In the hydrolysis test, half-lives (t$^{1/2}$) of CENO and DACD was 66.0 hr and 80.0 hr in pH 6.80 buffer, 190 hr and 91.4 hr in pH 8.00 buffer. CENO and DACD were rapidly hydrolyzed in human plasma and in rat liver hornogenate. Half-lives (t$_{1/2}$ of CENO and DACD were 1.29 hr and 1.15 hr in hyman plasma, 0.62 hr and 0.71 hr rat liver homogenate. In $\beta$-lactamase stability test, CENO and DACD were very stable to the .betha.-lactamases obtained from three different strains. Half-life (t$_{1/2}$) and areas under the curve (AUC) in mice were 2.33 hr and 15.97 (mg.h/1), respectively.

Our purpose was to evaluate usefulness of the contrast-enhanced 3 dimensional fluid attenuated inversion recovery (3D-FLAIR) technique of half brain volume to diagnose the patients with facial neuritis based on segment-based analysis. We assessed retrospectively 17 consecutive patients who underwent brain MR imaging at 3 tesla for facial neuritis: 11 patients with idiopathic facial neuritis and 6 with herpes zoster oticus. Contrast enhanced 3D-FLAIR sequences of the half brain volume were analyzed and 3D T1-weighted sequence of the full brain volume were used as the base-line exam. Enhancement of the facial nerve was determined in each segment of 5 facial nerve segments by two radiologists. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of enhancement of each segment were assessed. The authors experienced a prompt fuzzy CSF enhancement in the fundus of the internal auditory canal in patients with enhancement of the canalicular segment. Interobserver agreement of CE 3D-FLAIR was excellent(${\kappa}$-value 0.885). Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of each segment are 1.0, 0.823, 0.912 in the canalicular segment; 0.118, 1.0, 0.559 in the labyrinthine segment; 0.823, 0.294, 0.559 in the anterior genu; 0.823, 0.529, 0.676 in the tympanic segment; 0.823, 0.235, 0.529 in the mastoid segment, respectively. In addition, those of prompt fuzzy enhancement were 0.647, 1.0, and 0.824, respectively. Incidence of prompt fuzzy enhancement with enhancement of the canalicular segment was 11 sites(55%): 6 (54.5%) in idiopathic facial neuritis and 5 (83.3%) in herpes zoster. Enhancement of the canalicular segment and prompt fuzzy enhancement on CE 3D-FLAIR was significantly correlated with occurrence of facial neuritis (p<0.001). CE 3D-FLAIR technique of the half brain volume is useful to evaluate the patients with facial neuritis as an adjunct sequence in addition to contrast-enhanced 3D T1-weighted sequence. On segment-based analysis, contrast enhancement of the canalicular segment is the most reliable. Prompt fuzzy enhancement is seen in not only herpes zoster, but in idiopathic facial neuritis.

Background: This study was carried out to provide environmental transfer parameter values to estimate activity concentrations of these radionuclides in agricultural crops when direct contamination occurred. Materials and Methods: Mass interception fractions (F_Bs) and weathering half-lives (T_ws) of ¹³¹I and radiocesium were calculated using openly available monitoring data obtained after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. F_B is the ratio between the initial radioactivity concentration of a radionuclide retained by the edible part of the plant (Bq·kg^-1 fresh weight [FW]) and the amount of deposited radionuclide in that area (Bq·m^-2). T_w values can be calculated using activity concentrations of crops decreased with time after the initial contamination. Results and Discussion: Calculated F_B and T_w values for ¹³¹I and radiocesium were mostly obtained for leafy vegetables. The analytical results showed that there was no difference of F_Bs between ¹³¹I and radiocesium by t-test; geometric mean values for leafy vegetables cultivated under outdoor conditions were 0.058 and 0.12 m²·kg^-1 FW, respectively. Geometric mean T_w value of ¹³¹I in leafy vegetables grown under outdoor conditions was 8.6 days, and that of radiocesium was 6.6 days; there was no significant difference between T_w values of these radionuclides by Wilcoxon rank sum test. Conclusion: There was no difference between ¹³¹I and radiocesium for F_Bs and T_ws. By using these factors, we would be able to carry out a rough estimation of the activity concentrations of ¹³¹I and radiocesium in the edible part of leafy crops when a nuclear accident occurred.

실내에서 재배 중 살균제 boscalid의 생물학적 반감기를 계산하고, 생산단계 MRL 등을 제안하고자 오이에 boscalid를 살포하고 재배기간 중 잔류특성을 파악하였다. Boscalid 기준량 살포시 초기 잔류농도는 $7.29\;mg\;kg^{-1}$이며 15일 후에는 $0.04\;mg\;kg^{-1}$으로 감소되어 반감기는 1.9일 이었다. 배량 살포의 경우 초기농도 $14.69\;mg\;kg^{-1}$에서 15일 후에는 $0.11\;mg\;kg^{-1}$으로 감소되어 반감기는 2.0일 이었다. 그리고 배량 처리 시의 잔류감소 회귀식을 이용한 생산단계 농약잔류허용기준(PHRL)은 수확 10일전 $10.39\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ 또는 5일전 $1.76\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ 등으로 제안하였다. 또한 도출된 잔류감소 회귀식을 이용하여 약제 처리 후부터 MRL 이하로 잔류량이 감소하는 기간을 계산하였을 때, 기준량 처리 시 8.9일, 배량 처리 시 11.1일이 소요되는 것으로 나타났다. 오이 재배에 있어서 boscalid의 잔류량 감소 특성은 빠른 증체량에 따른 희석효과가 큰 기여를 한 것으로 나타났다. 감소 회귀식을 적용하여 boscalid 입상수화제를 안전사용기준에 따라 흰가루병 방제 및 잿빛곰팡이병 방제에 사용할 경우에 최종잔류농도를 예측해보면, 흰가루병의 경우 약제 처리 25일 후 기준량 처리 시 $1.26\;mg\;kg^{-1}$로 MRL($0.3\;mg\;kg^{-1}$)보다 높게 예상되었다. 또한 잿빛곰팡이병의 경우 약제처리 19일 후 최종잔류농도는 기준량 처리 시 $1.33\;mg\;kg^{-1}$로 역시 MRL보다 높게 예상되었다.

목적: 전립선특이항원(prostate specific antigen, PSA)은 전립선암의 진단, 수술이나 방사선치료 후 결과 판정 및 추적관찰 등에 널리 사용된다. 근치적방사선치료를 시행한 전립선암 환자에 있어 혈중 PSA 농도가 감소되는 양상 및 이에 영향을 미치는 인자 등에 대한 고찰을 통하여, 환자의 방사선치료 후 결과 판정 및 추적관찰 시 PSA 를 이용한 경과 판정에 필요한 자료를 마련하고자 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1993년 4월부터 1998년 5월까지 서울대학교병원 치료방사선과에서 근치적방사선치료를 받은 전립선암 환자로, 호르몬치료나 항암화학요법을 시행 받지 않은 20명을 대상으로 하였다. 방사선치료는 전골반에 45 내지 50Gy 조사 후 축소조사야로 14 내지 20Gv를 추가하여, 전립선에 총 63 내지 70Gy를 조사하였다. 추적관찰기간은 13개월 내지 66개월로 중앙값은 26개월이었다. 방사선치료 후 혈중 PSA 농도의 정상화 기준은 3.0ng/ml 미만으로 하였다. 결과 : 혈중 PSA의 농도는 방사선치료 후 서서히 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 반감기는 0.6 내지 4.0개월로 평균 2.1(${\pm}$0.9)개월, 중앙치는 1.9개월이었다. 20명의 환자 중 19명(95%)에서 PSA 농도가 정상 범위에 도달하였고, 정상범위에 도달하는데 소요된 기간은 방사선치료 종료 직후 내지 12개월로 평균 5.3(${\pm}$2.7)개월, 중앙치는 5.0개월이었다. 방사선치료 전의 PSA 농도가 10ng/ml 미만이었던 8명 중 2명에서 방사선치료 종료 시 PSA 농도가 정상화되었고, 10ng/m1 이상이었던 12명에서는 치료 종료 시까지 정상화되지 않았다. PSA 농도가 정상화된 19명의 환자에서 근치적방사선치료 후 혈중 최저 PSA 농도(nadir PSA)는 0.2 내지 1.8ng/ml로 평균 0.8(${\pm}$0.5)ng/ml, 중앙치는 0.6ng/ml 였다. 최저 PSA 농도에 도달하는데 소요되는 기간은 6 내지 23개월로 평균 13.5(${\pm}$4.3)개월, 중앙치 14.0개월이었다. 치료 후 추적관찰 중 2명에서 PSA 농도가 임상적 재발 진단 6개월 및 20개월 전에 증가되었다. 결론 : 혈중 PSA 농도가 방사선치료 후 12개월 이내에 정상화되지 않는 경우 전립선내의 잔류암이나 원격전이를 의심할 수 있으며, 치료 후 추적 관찰 시 재발의 조기진단에 유용하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
