  • Background: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of prehydration solution on hearing thresholds after cisplatin chemotherapy. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we reviewed the data of patients who underwent ≥3 courses of cisplatin-based chemotherapy for locally advanced head and neck cancers at a tertiary referral center (n=64). The dextrose solution (DW) group (n=26) received 2 L of normal saline and 1 L of 5% dextrose. The Hartmann solution (HS) group (n=38) received 2 L of normal saline and 1 L of HS. Hearing data were measured 1 day before starting the first course of chemotherapy, and again 20 days after the first, second, and third courses of chemotherapy. The severity of hearing loss was evaluated using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Results: Thresholds at all frequencies after chemotherapy were greater in the DW group than in the HS group. The increase in thresholds in 1 to 4 kHz after the third course of chemotherapy was greater in the DW group than in the HS group. CTCAE grades after the second and third courses of chemotherapy were greater in the DW group than in the HS group. Logistic regression showed that the odds ratio for CTCAE grade 3 or 4 after the third course of chemotherapy in the DW group was 4.84 on univariate analysis. Conclusion: Prehydration using a solution with salt was associated with a decrease in change in hearing thresholds after cisplatin chemotherapy in patients with head and neck cancers.

  • This study investigated the effects of various culture parameters (carbon sources, temperature, initial pH of culture, NaCl concentration, and light) on the growth and canthaxanthin production by Dietzia natronolimnaea HS-1. The results showed that the most effective carbon source for growth and canthaxantin production was glucose, and the best pH and temperature were 7 and $31^{\circ}C$, respectively. In addition, the biomass and canthaxanthin production increased in a medium without NaCl and in the presence of light. Under the optimized conditions, the maximum biomass, total carotenoid, and canthaxanthin production were $6.12{\pm}0.21g/l,\;4.51{\pm}0.20mg/l,\;and\;4.28{\pm}0.15mg/l$, respectively, in an Erlenmeyer flask system, yet increased to 7.25 g/l, 5.48 mg/l, and 5.29 mg/l, respectively, in a batch fermenter system.

  • The CHRM3 gene is a member of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor family that plays important roles in the regulation of fundamental physiological functions. The evolutionary mechanism of exon-acquisition and alternative splicing of the CHRM3 gene in relation to transposable elements (TEs) were analyzed using experimental approaches and in silico analysis. Five different transcript variants (T1, T2, T3, T3-1, and T4) derived from three distinct promoter regions (T1: L1HS, T2, T4: original, T3, T3-1: THE1C) were identified. A placenta (T1) and testis (T3 and T3-1)-dominated expression pattern appeared to be controlled by different TEs (L1HS and THE1C) that were integrated into the common ancestor genome during primate evolution. Remarkably, the T1 transcript was formed by the integration event of the human specific L1HS element. Among the 12 different brain regions, the brain stem, olfactory region, and cerebellum showed decreased expression patterns. Evolutionary analysis of splicing sites and alternative splicing suggested that the exon-acquisition event was determined by a selection and conservation mechanism. Furthermore, continuous integration events of transposable elements could produce lineage specific alternative transcripts by providing novel promoters and splicing sites. Taken together, exon-acquisition and alternative splicing events of CHRM3 genes were shown to have occurred through the continuous integration of transposable elements following conservation.

  • HS-SPME-GC/MS was studied and optimized for the determination of 17 orgarnophosphorous pesiticides (OPPs: chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, demeton-s-methyl, diazinon, dimethoate, EPN, fenitrothion, fenthion, malathion, methidathion, monocrotophos, parathion, phenthoate, phosphamidon, sulfotep, terbufos, triazophos) in blood. Optimum SPME parameters were selected: choice of SPME fiber (85 ${\mu}m$ polyacrylate), pH effect (0.5 N HCl), salt effect ($Na_2SO_4$, 0.2 g; 20%), headspace incubation temperature ($80^{\circ}C$), headspace incubation time (1 min), headspace adsorption time (30 min) and GC desorption time (2 min). These parameters were optimized using HS-SPME autosampler coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Method validation was carried out in terms of linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ) and recovery in blood. The assay was linear over 0.5~5.0 mg/l ($r^2$=0.955~1.000). Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) in blood were determined 0.03~0.3 mg/l (S/N=3) and 0.1~1.1 mg/l (S/N=10), respectively. Relative recovery with 0.5, 1 and 5 mg/l (in blood) were 90.8%, 98.5% and 94.1%, respectively. This method will be applied to the determination of the orgarnophosphorous pesticides in postmortem blood. The proposed protocol can be an attractive alternative to be used in routine toxicological analysis.

  • 본 연구에서는 한국산 함초 (Salicornia herbacea L.)인 퉁퉁마디의 항비만 효과를 알아보고자 동물실험을 실시하였다. 함초 동결건조 분말 및 함초 동결건조 나노화 분말의 항비만 효과를 살펴본 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 최종체중은 5% 함초 동결건조 분말을 섭취한 5% HS군이 HFC군에 비해 유의하게 감소하였으며, NC군보다도 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 식이섭취량은 NC군에 비하여 고지방식이 섭취군 (HFC, 2% HS, 5% HS, 1% HSN)에서 유의적으로 감소하였고, 5% 함초 동결건조 분말을 섭취한 5% HS군은 고지방식이군보다 유의적으로 식이섭취량이 낮았다. 2) 간 무게는 고지방식이의 영향으로 NC군에 비하여 모든 고지방식이 섭취군에서 유의하게 증가하였고, 5% 함초 동결건조 분말 섭취군은 HFC군과 비교해 유의하게 낮았다. 부고환 지방조직의 무게 역시 왼쪽/오른쪽 모두 5% 함초 동결건조 분말 섭취군에서 HFC군에 비해 유의하게 낮았으며, NC군보다도 유의적으로 수치가 낮았다. 3) 혈청 중성지질 농도는 NC군이 모든 고지방식이 섭취군에 비해 유의하게 높았으며, 혈청 총 콜레스테롤 농도는 2% HS군을 제외한 모든 고지방식이군에서 NC군에 비해 유의하게 높았다. 그러나, 혈청 중성지질, 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤 및 HDL-Cholesterol 농도 모두 HFC군과 비교하여 함초 섭취에 따른 유의한 차이가 없었다. 4) 간 조직의 중성지질과 총 콜레스테롤 농도는 NC군에 비하여 모든 고지방식이 섭취군에서 유의적으로 증가하였다 (p < 0.05). HFC군은 함초 섭취군과 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 5% 함초 동결건조 분말 섭취군의 중성 지질과 총 콜레스테롤 농도는 HFC군에 비해 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 5) 간 세포질 중 FAS 농도의 경우 NC군이 모든 고지방식이 섭취군에 비해 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 함초분말섭취에 따른 유의한 차이는 없었다. 6) 혈청 leptin 농도는 HFC군에 비해 모든 함초 섭취군에서 leptin의 수치가 낮게 나타나는 경향이 보였다. 특히 5% HS군은 HFC군에 비해 leptin 농도가 유의적으로 감소하였다. 혈청 adiponectin 농도는 NC군이 모든 고지방식이섭취군에 비해 유의적으로 높았으며, 5% 함초 동결건조 분말 섭취군의 경우 HFC군 비해 그 농도가 증가하는 경향이 나타났으나 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 이상의 실험 결과에서 고지방식이와 함께 섭취한 5% 함초 동결건조 분말은 식이섭취량을 줄여 체중, 간 및 지방조직의 무게를 감소하였고, 혈중 leptin 농도를 유의적으로 감소시켰으며, 혈중 adiponectin 농도를 증가시키는 경향을 보이는 등 지질대사 개선에 긍정적인 영향을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 함초의 식이조절 및 지질개선 건강기능성소재 개발 가능성을 제시한 것으로 생각된다.

  • Background: Chronic low back pain can be a manifestation of lumbar degenerative disease, herniation of intervertebral discs, arthritis, or lumbar stenosis. When nerve roots are compromised, low back pain, with or without lower extremity involvement, may occur. Local inflammatory processes play an important role in patients with acute lumbosciatic pain. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) measurements in patients with chronic low back pain or radiculopathy. Methods: ESR and hsCRP were measured in 273 blood samples from male and female subjects with low back pain and/or radiculopathy due to herniated lumbar disc, spinal stenosis, facet syndrome, and other diseases. The hsCRP and ESR were measured prior to lumbar epidural steroid injection. Results: The mean ESR was 18.8 mm/h and mean hsCRP was 1.1 mg/L. ESR had a correlation with age. Conclusions: A significant systemic inflammatory reaction did not appear to arise in patients with chronic low back pain.

  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a strong independent predictor of future cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. We evaluated the relationship between hsCRP and dietary intake in apparently healthy young women living in southern Vietnam. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Serum hsCRP was measured and dietary intake data were obtained using the 1-day 24-hour recall method in women (n = 956; mean age, $25.0{\pm}5.7$ years) who participated in the International Collaboration Study for the Construction of Asian Cohort of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) in 2011. RESULTS: Women in the high risk group (> 3 mg/L) consumed fewer fruits and vegetables, total plant food, potassium, and folate than those in the low risk group (< 1 mg/L). A multiple regression analysis after adjusting for covariates revealed a significant negative association between hsCRP and fruit and vegetable consumption. A logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratio (OR) of having a high hsCRP level in women with the highest quartiles of consumption of fruits and vegetables [OR, 0.391; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.190-0.807], potassium [OR, 0.425; 95% CI, 0.192-0.939] and folate [OR, 0.490; 95% CI, 0.249-0.964] were significantly lower than those in the lowest quartiles. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that, in young Vietnamese women, an increased consumption of fruit and vegetables might be beneficial for serum hsCRP, a risk factor for future CVD events.
