Purpose: In children with acute leukemia, bone marrow genetic abnormalities (GA) have prognostic significance, and may be the basis for minimal residual disease monitoring. Since April 2007, we have used a multiplex reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction tool (HemaVision) to detect of GA. Methods: In this study, we reviewed the results of HemaVision screening in 270 children with acute leukemia, newly diagnosed at The Catholic University of Korea from April 2007 to December 2011, and compared the results with those of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and G-band karyotyping. Results: Among the 270 children (153 males, 117 females), 187 acute lymphoblastic leukemia and 74 acute myeloid leukemia patients were identified. Overall, GA was detected in 230 patients (85.2%). HemaVision, FISH, and G-band karyotyping identified GA in 125 (46.3%), 126 (46.7%), and 215 patients (79.6%), respectively. TEL-AML1 (20.9%, 39/187) and AML1-ETO (27%, 20/74) were the most common GA in ALL and AML, respectively. Overall sensitivity of HemaVision was 98.4%, with false-negative results in 2 instances: 1 each for TEL-AML1 and MLL-AF4. An aggregate of diseases-specific FISH showed 100% sensitivity in detection of GA covered by HemaVision for actual probes utilized. G-band karyotype revealed GA other than those covered by HemaVison screening in 133 patients (49.3%). Except for hyperdiplody and hypodiploidy, recurrent GA as defined by the World Health Organizationthat were not screened by HemaVision, were absent in the karyotype. Conclusion: HemaVision, supported by an aggregate of FISH tests for important translocations, may allow for accurate diagnosis of GA in Korean children with acute leukemia.

The major physical characteristics of macromolecules used in silicone hydrogel ophthalmic lenses include optical transmittance, oxygen permeability, water content, and refractive index. For the preparation of highly functional silicone hydrogel lens materials, two silicone monomers were used in the presence of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA). The samples containing HEMA and HPMA had oxygen transmissibility (Dk) values in the range of 73.38–50.98 × 10^-11 (cm²/s) (mLO₂/mL×mmHg) and 71.94–42.80 × 10^-11 (cm²/s) (mLO₂/mL×mmHg), respectively. Furthermore, the water contents of samples containing HEMA and HPMA were in the range of 32.73–34.67% and 31.94–33.74%, respectively, and the refractive indices were in the range of 1.4348–1.4364 and 1.4385–1.4407, respectively. Thus, silicone monomers containing HEMA and HPMA are expected to be useful for fabricating high-oxygen-permeability silicon hydrogel ophthalmic lenses.

목적 : 이 연구에서는 도파민이 적용된 히알루론산 가교 하이드로겔을 제조하고 항산화 활성을 조사하였다. 방법 : 먼저 히알루론산과 p(HEMA)로 구성된 상호침투고분자구조로 후처리 한 p(HEMA) 기반 하이드로겔을 제조하였다. 다음으로 아마이드 결합반응을 통해 도파민이 적용된 항산화 하이드로겔을 제조하였다. 항산화 활성의 평가는 ABTS 와 DDPH 라디칼 소거능 방법을 사용하였다. 결과 : 도파민이 적용된 하이드로겔은 유의한 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 히알루론산의 가교는 하이드로겔 표면의 습윤성을 개선시킨 반면에 도파민이 적용된 하이드로겔은 대조군과 비교하여 유의한 차이를 나타내지 못했다. 도파민이 적용된 하이드로겔은 높은 광투율을 나타내었다. (>88%) 결론 : 도파민이 결합된 히알루론산의 가교에 기초한 항산화 하이드로겔의 개발이 안의료 및 생물의학 재질 개발에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

친수성 안의료용 렌즈 재료에 하이드록시기를 가진 아크릴레이트계 모노머인 HEA(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate), HEMA(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), HPMA(hydroxypropyl methacrylate) 및 Ag nanoparticles가 첨가제로 사용되었으며, 교차결합제인 EGDMA(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate)와 개시제인 AIBN(azobisisobutyronitrile)을 사용하여 공중합하였다. 하이드로젤 친수성 렌즈는 100 ℃에서 1시간 동안 열 중합을 통해 제조되었다. 제조된 하이드로젤 친수성 렌즈의 함수율, 굴절률 그리고 광투과율을 측정함으로써 렌즈의 광·물리적 특성을 분석하였다. HEA, HEMA 그리고 HPMA의 평균 함수율은 82.12%, 37.06% 그리고 21.57%로 각각 측정되었으며, 굴절률의 경우 1.3540, 1.4330 그리고 1.4649로 각각 측정되었다. 제조된 하이드로젤 친수성 렌즈의 분광투과율을 측정한 결과, 근자외선 영역에서는 82.67%, 80.32% 그리고 79.83%로, 가시광선 투과율의 경우 89.72%, 88.24% 그리고 86.89%로 각각 측정되었다. 또한 은 나노입자를 포함한 시료의 광투과율은 근자외선 영역에서 10.59% 그리고 가시광선 투과율에서 43.74%로 각각 측정되었다. 이 결과로 볼 때 분자길이는 중합된 고분자 물질의 함수율 및 굴절률에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, HEMA, MMA, AA, and EGDMA were used as basic combinations for manufacturing hydrophilic lenses for ophthalmic applications. In addition, AIBN (thermal polymerization initiator), 2H2M (photo polymerization initiator), and 3-hydroxypyridine (additive) were used to manufacture hydrophilic ophthalmic lenses through thermal polymerization and photo polymerization before their physical properties were measured. The results showed that when ophthalmic lenses were prepared via thermal polymerization and photo polymerization using 3-hydroxypyridine as an additive, their optical and physical properties and surface structures were different in each case, but they all satisfied the physical properties required for ophthalmic lenses.

This study used cerium iron hydroxide nanoparticle with HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), the cross-linker EGDMA (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), NVP (N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) and the initiator AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) for copolymerization. Also, the physical properties of the prepared lenses were compared, and their applicability as polymers for ophthalmic materials was experimented. The results of the measurement showed that the UV blocking rate and the wettability increased with the cerium iron hydroxide nanoparticles addition ratio, and the refractive index and water content were not affected. Thus, the produced copolymer is expected to be useful as a functional contact lens material while satisfying the basic physical properties of the hydrogel contact lens.

HEMA, AA, MMA, and EGDMA as crosslinking agent and AIBN as an initiator, and 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, 2-ethylhexyl-trans-4-methoxy-cinnamate, 2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy)benzophenone as additives at 0.1-1.0% ratios were used to manufacture hydrophilic ophthalmic lenses through thermal polymerization before their physical properties were measured. The results showed that the samples containing of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone and 2-ethylhexyl-trans-4-methoxy-cinnamate resulted in a decrease of the UV blocking performance after high-pressure sterilization whereas the sample containing 2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy)benzophenone showed no change in the UV blocking performance. It is judged that this is induced by presence or absence of an acyl functional group in benzophenone.

인공수정체로 사용되고 있는 소수성 아크릴 하이드로겔의 단백질 흡착 감소와 기능을 향상시키기 위한 하이드로겔을 제조하여 인공수정체로의 응용성을 살펴보고자 한다. 소수성 아크릴 인공수정체는 ethyleneglycol phenyletheracrylate(EGPEA), Styrene, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA)를 사용하여 제작하였고 첨가제로 polyvinyl pyrrolidone(PVP)와 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine(MPC)를 사용하였다. 인공수정체의 물리적 특성을 평가하기 위해 함수율, 습윤성, 광투과율 및 단백질 흡착량을 측정하였다. 첨가제를 넣은 모든 시료의 함수율과 습윤성은 증가하였고 단백질 흡착량은 감소하였다. 특히 MPC가 포함된 시료의 단백질 흡착량은 더욱 감소하였다. PVP와 MPC를 첨가한 소수성 아크릴 하이드로겔은 기본적인 물리적 특성을 가지면서 단백질 흡착을 감소시킴으로써 기능이 향상된 인공수정체로의 응용이 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.

In this study, the surfaces of two gold nanoparticles of different shapes were modified with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and used for contact lenses. The polymer was based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and spherical and sea urchin-shaped gold nanoparticles were used as additives. CTAB was used to modify the surface of the sea urchin-shaped gold nanoparticles. To analyze the physical properties of the prepared contact lens, optical transmittance, refractive index, water content, contact angle, and atomic force microscope (AFM) were measured and evaluated. The results showed the nanoparticles did not significantly affect optical transmittance, refractive index, or water content of the lens, and tensile strength increased according to the ratio of the additive. The addition of the sea urchin-shaped nanoparticles resulted in lower wettability compared with the spherical nanoparticles, but somewhat superior tensile strength. In addition, it was found that the wettability of the lens was improved when the surface-modified sea urchin-shaped gold nanoparticles were added. The types of gold nanoparticles and surface modification methods used in this study are considered to have great potential for use in ophthalmic materials.
