보름달 물해파리 유래 펩타이드인 LVH는 주름개선에 효과가 있는 기능성 소재로서 보고되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 LVH의 피부 침투 효율을 증가시키기 위하여 LVH와 팔미트산을 이용하여 pal-LVH를 합성하였고, 합성된 pal-LVH의 기능성 소재로서의 효과를 조사하였다. 이를 위해서 우리는 두 펩타이드의 세포독성, 항노화, 주름 개선 그리고 피부 자극에 대한 효능을 비교 평가하였다. Pal-LVH는 LVH와 마찬가지로 세포독성은 보이지 않았다. 그리고 고농도에서는 LVH와 비슷한 우수한 상처 치유와 항노화 능력을 보였고, 주름개선 효과 또한 저농도에서는 LVH와 거의 유사하게 나타났다. 이들 결과는 pal-LVH 펩타이드는 피부 침투율을 증가시키면서, LVH 펩타이드가 가지고 있는 우수한 효능에는 영향을 주지 않는다는 것을 지시한다. 따라서 pal-LVH는 주름개선 효과 및 안티에이징 물질 등의 기능성 신소재로서 가능성을 제시하며, 다양한 융합 연구를 통하여 의약품 개발에 응용되어 질 수 있다.

At the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang university, from 1976 to 1984, 102 patients operated for isolated patent ductus arteriosus were studied. The correlation between the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy [LVH] and hemodynamic data, and postoperative changes of electrocardiographic findings were evaluated. The following results were obtained; [1] Of 102 patients with isolated patent ductus arteriosus, 78 patients [76.5%] were found to have LVH by EKG, preoperatively. [2] The patients with LVH had higher incidence of respiratory infection [79.4%] compared to patients without LVH. [3] Frequent physical findings in the patients with LVH were precordial bulging and P2 accentuation on auscultation. The typical continuous machinery murmur was not different in two group with or without LVH. [4] 66.1% of patients with LVH showed more than 56% of cardiothoracic ratio [CTR] on simple chest X-ray. 56.5% of patients without LVH showed less than 50% of CTR. [5] In the patients found to have LVH by EKG, the correlation between values of Svl+Rv6 and Qp/Qs in hemodynamic data was correlation coefficient 0.57 and between CTR and Qp/Qs was correlation coefficient 0.51. [6] In patent ductus arteriosus with LVH following surgery, the values of Svl+Rv6 was changed from preoperative 153.6$\pm$42.78% to 107.7$\pm$19.58% within 3 months and to 80.4$\pm$12.22%, which is within normal range of Svl+Rv6 on EKC, after 6 months.

In hypertensives, electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Animal and human studies suggest an association between left ventricular mass and dietary sodium (Na) intake. This study determined if dietary Na intake in a homogenous ethnic population is associated with electrocardiographic LVH (S in Vl + R in $V5{\geq}5.5 mV$). Blood pressure (BP), body mass index, EKG, and 24 hour urine Na and potassium (K) excretion were determined in 40 otherwise healthy Korean patients with untreated essential hypertension on the standard Korean diet. Among these variables, only Na excretion (mmol/day) was significantly different between those with and without LVH $[LVH+:357{\pm}50,\;LVH-;\;268{\pm}25(p=0.04]$. Thus, dietary sodium intake may be predictive of electrocardiographic LVH.

좌심실비대는 심혈관계의 합병증을 유발함으로 임상적으로 문제가 되고 있으며 선별진단이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 심장초음파상 좌심실비대로 판단된 30~80대의 환자 50명을 대상으로 심전도검사와 비교 분석하였다. 좌심실질량지수와 Sokolow-Lyon 공식에 의해 회귀분석을 하였으며, 두 검사 방법의 적정성을 평가하기 위해 ROC 분석을 이용하였다. 좌심실비대의 위험 요인인 나이와 체질량지수, 수축기 혈압, 확장기 혈압이 좌심실 비대 진단 검사의 기준치와 양의 상관성을 보였다. 심장초음파로 진단된 50명의 환자에서 심전도검사에서는 21명만이 진단되었다. 분석결과로 심장초음파에서는 AUC 99%, 민감도 96%, 특이도 95%, 정확도 95.5%였으며, 심전도검사에서 AUC 76%, 민감도 62%, 특이도 76%, 정확도 68% 인 것으로 나타났다. 좌심실비대 진단에 있어 심장초음파와 심전도검사의 정확도를 비교했을 때 심장초음파가 정확성 높은 검사란 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 1차 선별검사로 심전도검사에서 정상 판정을 받더라도, 나이와, 체질량지수, 수축기 혈압, 확장기 혈압에 대한 수치를 고려하여 심장초음파 검사를 고려해야할 필요성이 있다.

It has been suggested that the impairment of smooth muscle cell (SMC) function by alterations in the $Ca^{2+}$-activated $K^{+}$ ( $K_{Ca}$ ) channels accounts for the reduction in coronary reserve during left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). However, this hypothesis has not been fully investigated. The main goal of this study was to assess whether the properties of $K_{Ca}$ channels in coronary SMCs were altered during LVH. New Zealand white rabbits (0.8-1.0 kg) and Sprague-Dawley rats (300-400 g) were randomly selected to receive either an injection of isoproterenol (300 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg body weight) or an equal volume of 0.9％ saline (1 mL/kg body weight). The animals developed LVH 10 days after injection. In patch-clamp experiments, the unitary current amplitude and open probability for the $K_{Ca}$ channels were significantly reduced in LVH patches compared with control patches. The concentration-response curve of the $K_{Ca}$ channel to [C $a^{2+}$]$_{i}$ was shifted to the right. Inhibition of the $K_{Ca}$ channels with TEA was more pronounced in LVH cells than in the control cells. The whole-cell currents of $K_{Ca}$ channels were reduced during LVH. Western blot analysis indicated no differences in $K_{Ca}$ channel expression between the control and LVH coronary SM membranes. In contraction experiments, the effect of a high $K^{+}$concentration on the resting tension of the LVH coronary artery was greater than on that of the control. The effect of TEA on the resting tension of the LVH coronary artery was reduced as compared with the effect on the control. Our findings imply a novel mechanism for reduced coronary reserve during LVH.ing LVH.

고혈압(hypertension, HTN)은 지속적으로 혈압이 높은 상태를 의미하는 것으로 주요 만성 질환 중 하나이다. 좌심실 비대(left ventricular hypertrophy, LVH)는 좌심실의 질량이 증가된 상태이며, 고혈압은 좌심실 비대의 대표적인 원인이다. 고혈압과 좌심실 비대는 환경적 요인과 유전적 요인이 상호작용하여 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 고혈압에 영향을 미치는 유전적 요인 중 SLC8A1의 다형성이 염분에 민감하게 반응하는 고혈압과 관련이 있다는 것이 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 SLC8A1에서 유전적 다형성을 한국 유전체 역학 조사 사업을 기반으로 추출하였다. 그런 다음 고혈압과 좌심실 비대에 대해 로지스틱 회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 수축기 혈압과 이완기 혈압에 대한 선형 회귀 분석도 실시하였다. 그 결과, 5개의 SNP가 고혈압과 통계적으로 유의한 연관성을 보였고, 10개의 SNP가 좌심실 비대와 통계적으로 유의한 연관성을 보였다. rs1002671, rs9789739는 고혈압과 좌심실 비대에서 동시에 유의한 상관관계를 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 SLC8A1 유전자의 다형성이 한국인에게 고혈압 및 좌심실 비대의 발병과 연관되어 있음을 의미한다. 우리는 이러한 결과를 통하여 고혈압과 좌심실 비대에 대한 발병기전을 이해하는 데에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

It is well known that hemodynamic load is one of the most important determinants of cardiac structure and function. Circadian variations in blood pressure (BP) are usually accompanied by consensual changes in peripheral resistance and/or cardiac output. In recent years, reduction in circadian variations in BP and, in particular, loss of nocturnal decline of BP were observed in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The patients with only a slight or no loss of nocturnal decline of BP were considered "non-dippers". Regression of LVH was observed after prolonged antihypertensive therapy. Restoration of the circadian rhythm of BP was also observed. However, the classification of patients into "dippers" and "non-dippers" is arbitrary and poorly standardized and repeatable, and in the recent studies, most hypertensive patients with LVH were "dippers". Therefore, we should be particularly cautious about the conclusions drawn using this index. On the other hand, reduced activity of low-pressure cardiopulmonary baroreceptors and impaired day-to-night modulation of autonomic nervous system activity were observed in patients with only LVH. Therefore, alterations in cardiac structure may impair BP modulation. On the other hand, the reverse can also be trueprimary alterations in BP modulation, through a persistently elevated afterload, can increase cardiac mass. Thus, the interrelationship between cardiac structure and BP modulation is complex. Hence, new and more specific methods of evaluating circadian changes in BP are needed to better clarify the abovementioned reciprocal influences.

The exact diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is very important in the treatment of hypertension. The purpose of our study is to determine the relationship between left ventricular remodeling patterns and electrocardiography (ECG) findings in hypertensive patients. We divided 137 patients into four groups according to left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and the relative wall thickness: normal, concentric remodeling, concentric hypertrophy, eccentric hypertrophy. LVH on the ECG was defined by three ECG criteria: Sokolow-Lyon voltage criteria, Cornell voltage criteria and Romhilt-Estes point score. LVH on the echocardiography was defined by LVMI. The prevalence of ECG LVH was increased in concentric hypertrophy and eccentric hypertrophy group. The QRS voltages by Sokolow-Lyon voltage criteria (r = 0.494, P = 0.002) and Cornell voltage criteria (r = 0.628, P < 0.001), and Romhilt-Estes point score (r = 0.689, P < 0.001) were positively correlated with LVMI. Also, the QRS voltages and point scores were significantly increased in the concentric hypertrophy and eccentric hypertrophy group with increased LVMI. The QRS voltage and Romhilt-Estes point scores were positively correlated with LVMI. The QRS voltages and Romhilt-Estes point scores were also increased in the left ventricular remodeling groups with increased LVMI.

BACKGROUND: The function of left atrium (LA) is difficult to assess because of its ventricle-dependent, dynamic movement. The aim of this study was to assess LA function using velocity vector imaging (VVI) and compare LA function in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with normal controls. METHODS: Fourteen patients with HCMP (72% male, mean age of 52.6 ± 9.8), 15 hypertensive patients with LVH (88% male, mean age of 54.0 ± 15.3), and 10 age-matched controls (83% male, mean age of 50.0 ± 4.6) were prospectively studied. Echocardiographic images of the LA were analyzed with VVI, and strain rate (SR) was compared among the 3 groups. RESULTS: The e' velocity (7.7 ± 1.1; 5.1 ± 0.8; 4.5 ± 1.3 cm/sec, p = 0.013), E/e' (6.8 ± 1.6; 12.4 ± 3.3; 14.7 ± 4.2, p = 0.035), and late diastolic SR at mid LA (-1.65 ± 0.51; -0.97 ± 0.55; -0.82 ± 0.32, p = 0.002) were significantly different among the groups (normal; LVH; HCMP, respectively). The e' velocity, E/e', and late diastolic SR at mid LA were significantly different between normal and LVH (p = 0.001; 0.022; 0.018), whereas LA size was similar between normal and LVH (p = 0.592). The mean late diastolic peak SR of mid LA was significantly correlated with indices of diastolic function (E/e', e', and LA size). CONCLUSIONS: The SR is a useful tool for detailed evaluation of LA function, especially early dysfunction of LA in groups with normal LA size.
