Gu-Chang is a disorder characterized by recurring ulcers confined to the oral mucosa. Despite much clinical and research attention, the causes remain poorly understood. In this paper, we will compare Gu-Chang with Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis(RAS) in order to know what is the similiarity between Gu-Chang and RAS. So we will arrange various oriental and western medical literatures which are important. As a result of arrangement of the causes, symptoms and therapys of Gu-Chang, we can conclude through the studies as follows. 1. The etiologies of Gu-chang are following. In the Sthenia syndrome, there are evil heat of external factor, heat of heart and spleen, insomnia, heat of upper warmer, stress and diet, heat of lung and heart, excessive heat of upper warmer, inappropriate food intake, heat conveyance of organ, heat of stomach merdian, moistured heat of spleen and stomach and stasis of liver energy. In the Asthenia syndrome, there are deficiency of stomach energy, deficiency of upper warmer leading to heat, deficiency of middle warmer leading to cold, deficiency of lower warmer leading to heat, deficiency of middle energy, deficiency of blood, decreased fire and deficiency of soil, yin fire of lower warmer, deficiency of heart yin, deficiency of spleen yin and deficiency of qi and blood. 2. In western medicine the causes of RAS is presumed as local, microbial, systemic, nutritional, genetic, immunologic factors. 3. Once Gu-chang is compared with RAS, in the deficiency of yin leading to hyperactivity of fire, deficiency of yin leading to floating of fire and stasis of liver energy, recurring of Gu-chang is similar to RAS. Although recurring of Gu-chang due to tripple warmer of excessive fire has no recurrance, since there are the degree of Pain, site of lesion, dysphagia etc, it is similar to major RAS. It is may be believed that Sthenia Gu-chang is similar to major RAS, shape of recurring, site of lesion, degrree of Pain and white color of Asthenia Gu-chang are similar to minor RAS, but there is no similarity concerning herpes RAS in the literatures that describe the symptoms. 4. Generally, the treatment of Gu-chang is divided into Asthenia and Sthenia Syndrome. The method of cure to Sthenia syndrome is heat cleaning and purge fire, Asthenia syndrome is nourish yin to lower and adverse rising energy and strength the middle warmer and benefit vital energy. 5. Following is the medication for Sthenia syndrome. Heat of heart and spleen is Do Jok San, Yang Gyek San, Juk Yup Suk Go Tang, evil heat of external factor is Yang Gyek San Ga Gam, Stasis of liver energy is Chong Wi Fae Dok Yum, moistured heat of spleen and stomach is Chong Gi Sam Syep Tang. The medication for Asthenia Syndrome is following. Deficiency of upper warmer leading to heat is Bo Jung Ik Gi Tang, deficiency of middle warmer leading to cold is Bu Ja Lee Jung Tang, deficiency of lower warmer leading to heat is Yuk Mi Ji Hwang Tang, deficiency of yin leading to hyperactivity of fire is Ji Baek Ji Hwang Hwan, deficiency of yin leading to floating of fire is Lee Jung Tang Ga Bu Ja Medicine for external use were Yang Suk San, Boo Wyen San, Rok Po San, Yoo Hwa San ate. 6. In western medicine, there is no specific treatment for RAS, and management strategies depend on dinical presentation and symptoms and includes antibiotics, oral rinses, glucocorticoids, immunomodulatory drugs, vitamines, analgesics, laser and antiviral agents.

2014년 8월 25일 집중호우시 효암천 상류지역의 도심과 농경지 등에 큰 침수피해가 발생하였다. 이 지역은 고리원전 부지조성을 위해 하구부의 하천이설과 주변지역에 대한 성토 등 대규모 개발사업이 이루어진 곳이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 개발이 홍수시 침수피해의 원인이 되었는지를 알아보기 위해 HEC-GeoRAS 모형을 이용하여 개발사업 전 후에 대한 효암천 유역의 침수심과 침수면적의 변화를 조사하였다. 분석결과, HEC-GeoRAS 모형은 농경지 등 지형변화 및 표고차가 작은 하천유역에 대해서도 홍수시 침수심과 침수면적의 변화를 비교적 정확하게 산정할 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 침수심은 개발사업의 영향으로 2014년 8월 집중호우시 0.99 m가 상승하였고, 100년빈도 홍수시에는 0.39 m가 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 침수면적은 100년빈도 훙수시 침수심 1.5 m 이하에서는 감소하였으나 침수심 4.5 m 이상에서는 오히려 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 하천이설과 개발사업으로 인해 하구부의 농경지와 저지대의 자연저유기능이 상실된 것이 2014년 8월 집중호우시 홍수발생의 주된 원인이 되었으며, 하천이설에 따라 신설된 하천단면의 총 하폭은 크게 증가하였으나 실질적인 유효하폭은 오히려 축소되어 통수단면적이 감소되었던 것이 침수피해를 가중시킨 것으로 나타났다. 추후 하천이설이나 주변지역에 대한 성토 등 개발행위시에는 기존의 저유기능이 충분히 고려된 하천개수계획이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

승강기 탑승자의 안전을 위해 비상통화장치가 설치 및 운영되고 있으나 비상 상황 발생 시 운영자와 유선(음성통화) 연결이 안되거나 지연되는 경우가 발생하고 있다. 승강기에 설치된 비상 통화 장치의 체계적인 관리와 안정성 향상을 위해 사물 인터넷(IoT) 기술의 적용이 요구된다. 이러한 요구를 충족시키기 위해 RMS (Remote Management System)의 적용이 필요하다. 비상 통화 장치는 PSTN(Public Switched Telephone Network) 환경에서 RMS에 주기적으로 비상 통화 장치의 동작 상태 정보와 비상 호출 이력 정보를 보고하고, 비상 상황 발생 시 호출 요청 정보를 전송한다. RAS(Remote Access Server)는 PSTN의 신호를 TCP/IP로 변환하는 역할을 수행한다. RMS는 관리자들에게 중요한 비상 발생 호출과 비정상 동작 상태를 보고 한다. 본 연구에서는 RMS에서 필요로 하는 PSTN 환경에 최적화된 프로토콜(Protocol)을 개발하고 차별화된 처리과정을 구현하였다. 그리고 RAS-RMS 프로토콜을 Application Layer에 추가하였다. 기존의 CoAP, MQTT, 또는 HTTP에 비해 단순한 구조로 이루어진 개발 프로토콜은 저사양 CPU에서의 사용을 지원하고 승강기 비상통화장치의 주요 정보를 쉽게 전달할 수 있도록 한다.

목 적 : 소아 HSPN의 임상 경과와 이에 영향을 미치는 예후 인자를 조사하였다. 방 법 : 소아 HSPN 환자 75명(남아 44명, 여아 31명)을 대상으로 하였으며 발병연령은 $8.0{\pm}3.1$세(2.3-l5.3세)였고 추적관찰 기간은 $4.3{\pm}3.6$년(1.0-17.1년)이었다. 신생검은 24명(32$\%$)에서 시행되었다. 발병시 임상 양상과 검사 결과를 조사하였으며, 대상 환자들의 RAS 유전자의 다형성(ACE 유전자의 I/D 다형성, AGT 유전자의 M235T 다형성, AGTR 유전자의 A1166C 다형성)에 대해 검사하였다. 발병시와 마지막 추적관찰시 임상 상태는 다음과 같이 4군으로 분류하였다: A, 정상; B, 정도의 소변이상; C, 활동성 신질환(신증후군 범위의 단백뇨) 또는 고혈압 소견을 보이면서 혈청 크레아티닌 1.5 mg/dL 이하; D, 신부전. 결 과 : 발병시 환자들의 임상 상태는 26명(35$\%$)이 B, 45명(51$\%$)이 C였고 D가 3명(4$\%$)이었다. RAS 유전자 다형성의 분포는 100명의 건강한 대조군과 다르지 않았다. 마지막 추적관찰시 환자들의 임상 상태는 A가 23명(31$\%$), B가 38명(50$\%$), C가 9명(12$\%$), D가 5명(7$\%$)이었다. Multiple logistic regression 결과 발병 연령과 발병시 단백뇨의 양이 유의한 예후 인자로 확인되었다. RAS 유전자는 HSPN의 예후 인자로 통계학적 유의성이 없었다. 결 론 : 본 연구에서는 발병 연령이 높을수록, 발병시 단백뇨의 양이 많을수록 소아 HSPN의 예후가 나쁜 것으로 나타났고 RAS 유전자는 HSPN의 예후와 상관 관계가 없었다. 더 정확한 연구를 위해서는 더 많은 수의 환자를 대상으로 전향적인 연구가 필요하리라 생각한다.

Helminthiasis is one of the most common worm diseases which causes a range of adverse health problems in humans. Ayurveda is one of the most prominent and ancient systems of traditional medicines in India. Most Ayurvedic drugs used against intestinal helminths have been developed by traditional wisdom and therefore lack a proper validation through controlled studies. The aim of the present study was to scientifically validate the in vitro efficacy of three common Indian Ayurvedic anthelmintic drugs, viz. Krimimudgar Ras, Kriminol and Vidangasava in relation to the synthetic broad-spectrum anthelmintic drugs, praziquantel and albendazole. The in vitro testing of Ayurvedic anthelmintics was done against an intestinal cestode, Raillietina sp. and a nematode, Syphacia obvelata, employing 10 mg/ml, 30 mg/ml and 50 mg/ml concentrations of each medicine. The anthelmintic efficacy was judged on the basis of paralysis and mortality time of worms after exposing to these Ayurvedic drugs. Of the three tested Ayurvedic medicines, Krimimudgar ras (KR) showed the most prominent efficacy, against both the cestode and nematode parasites. At 50 mg/ml concentration, KR caused mortality of cestodes in $7.53{\pm}0.15hr$, and of nematodes in $7.61{\pm}0.19hr$. Vidangasava was found to be comparatively less effective against the tested helminth parasites. The results of this study indicate that Ayurvedic formulations do possess significant anthelmintic effects, however, an evidence-based research is required to validate all currently used Ayurvedic anthelmintics, using proper controlled studies.

Background: Several studies have investigated predictive and prognostic biomarkers for patients treated with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) agents in lung cancer. However, the conclusion is controversial. Materials and Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the associations of mutant K-ras, PIK3CA and PTEN deficiency with the efficacy of anti-EGFR agents in lung cancer. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). The secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Results: A total of 61 studies were included in the final meta-analysis. The result showed that K-ras mutation was a good predictor for ORR (RR=0.42, 95%CI, 0.33-0.55, p=0.000) and an effective prognostic marker for OS (HR=1.37, 95%CI, 1.15-1.65, p=0.001) and PFS (HR=1.33, 95%CI, 1.05-1.69, p=0.019). However, PTEN deficiency or PIK3CA mutation did not show any significance predictive value for ORR (PTEN, RR=0.82, 95%CI, 0.56-1.19, p=0.286; PIK3CA, RR=1.08, 95%CI, 0.17-6.66, P=0.938). And PTEN deficiency or expression of PIK3CA did not show significance prognostic value for OS (PTEN, HR=0.88, 95%CI, 0.31-2.46,P=0.805; PIK3CA, HR=0.79, 95%CI: 0.23-2.68, P=0.706). Conclusions: Our meta-analysis showed that K-ras mutation may be an effective predictor in lung cancer patients treated with anti-EGFR agents. Whereas, the predictive and prognostic value of PTEN deficiency and PIK3CA mutation need to be further investigated.

Ligand-dependent or independent oligomerization of receptor protein tyrosine kinase (RPTK) is often an essential step for receptor activation and intracellular signaling. The novel oncogene with kinase-domain (NOK) is a unique RPTK that almost completely lacks an ectodomain, expresses intracellularly and activates constitutively. However, it is unknown whether NOK can form oligomer or what function oligomerization would have. In this study, two NOK deletion mutants were generated by either removing the ectodomain ($NOK{\Delta}ECD$) or including the endodomain (NOK-ICD). Co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated that the transmembrane (TM) domain of NOK was essential for its intermolecular interaction. The results further showed that NOK aggregated more closely as lower order oligomers (the dimer- and trimer-sized) than either deletion mutant did since NOK could be crosslinked by both Sulfo-EGS and formaldehyde, whereas either deletion mutant was only sensitive to Sulfo-EGS. Removing the NOK TM domain (NOK-ICD) not only markedly promoted higher order oligomerization, but also altered the subcellular localization of NOK and dramatically elevated the NOK-mediated constitutive activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Moreover, NOK-ICD but not NOK or $NOK{\Delta}ECD$ was co-localized with the upstream signaling molecule RAS on cell membrane. Thus, TM-mediated intermolecular contacting may be mainly responsible for the constitutive activation of NOK and contribute to the autoinhibitory effect on RAS/MAPK signaling.

Purpose : Phospholipase C(PLC) isozymes play significant roles in transmembrane signal transduction. PLC-${\gamma}1$ acts as the intracellular effector in signal transduction for cellular proliferation and differentiation. Ras oncoprotein is also involved in cell growth. We determined the biological significance of PLC and ras oncoprotein in regeneration following radiation and the effect of different modes of administration of 5-FU. Materials and Methods : To determine the effect of the administration mode of 5-FU on the regeneration of intestinal mucosa of rats following radiation, we compared the expression of PLC and ras oncoprotein in six groups. Group I had no treatment. Group II received radiation(8 Gy) only. Group III received radiation(8 Gy) and 5-FU(150mg/kg) continuous intravenous (iv) infusion for 12 hours. Group IV received radiation(8 Gy) and 5-FU(750mg/kg) iv bolus injection. Group V received only 5-FU(150mg/kg) continuous iv infusion for 12 hours, Group VI received only 5-FU (150mg/kg) iv bolus injection. Through immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry, we examined the expression of PLC and ras oncoprotein in rat jejunum at 96 hours after radiation or 5-FU administration and at 120 hours after radiation and 5-FU adminstration. We also investigated the histological findings using hematoxylin and eosin stain. Results : In the immunohistochemistry study, PLC-${\gamma}1$ expression was the highest in group III followed by groups II and VI in that order and was weakly positive in groups V and VI. PLC-${\gamma}1$ was hardly detected in the control group. The expression of ras oncoprotein was the same as the PLC-${\gamma}1$ expression for all groups. These results were confirmed by the histological findings regarding the mucosal regeneration. In the immunoblotting analysis, PLC-${\gamma}1$ expression was the highest in group III followed by group IV and II in that order. This difference between the immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry study was due to the high expression of PLC-${\gamma}1$ on the damaged surface epithelium rather than to its expression in the regeneration region as observed in the immunohistochemistry study for group IV. The expression of PLC-${\delta}1$ was positive only in group V and VI, which received both radiation and 5-FU, and the expression of PLC-${\beta}1$ was negligible for all groups. Conclusion : These results suggest that PLC-${\gamma}1$ mediated signal transduetion and ras oncoprotein may have a significant role in mucosal regeneration after radiation, and that continuous iv infusion of 5-FU may induce active regeneration in intestinal mucosa following radiation. In addition, the expression of PLC-${\delta}1$ in combined group of radiation and 5-FU implies that PLC-${\delta}1$ may be involved in signal transduction mediated by concerted action between radiation and 5-FU.
