Objective : Tumours of the brain are a rare occurrence accounting for approximately 2% of all neoplasms in adults. Few studies have been done in Nigeria on the profile of brain tumours. The aim of this study is to determine the profile of brain tumours in general and determine the change in Kanofsky Performance Score (KPS) after treatment. Methods : This is a prospective hospital-based study in Kaduna. All consecutive patients over 18 years of age with diagnosis of brain tumours from January 2016 to December 2019 were included in the study. Demographic and clinical data was collected using a proforma during the study. Patients who received treatment were followed up for 12 months. The primary outcome data was the difference in the quality of life as measured by KPS at the point of first contact and at 1-month after treatment and at 12-month follow up. Data obtained was analysed with SPSS version 25.0 for Windows. Descriptive statistics was done to determine the profile. Paired t-test at 95% confidence interval was done to check for significant correlation between the mean KPS. Results : A total of 39 consecutive patients were included in the study. There was a slight male preponderance with a M : F of 1.17 : 1. Meningioma and metastasis were more common in females while gliomas and pituitary tumours were more common in males. The mean age of patients was 49.8 years and standard deviation of 11.8 years. Pituitary tumours were the most common tumours. The most common location of the tumour was frontal lobe followed by the pituitary gland. The mean duration of symptoms before neurosurgical consultation was 38 weeks. The most common presenting symptoms of patient with brain tumour was headache. The quality of life improve compare to the baseline in 81% of patient at discharge and at 1 year follow up. The overall mortality rate was 25.6%. Conclusion : The most common brain tumour in our study is pituitary tumour. Most patients present late. The most common presenting symptoms is headache. There is significant improvement in the KPS of patients following treatment. The overall mortality rate at 1-year post treatment is 25.6%.

This paper is intended to study what kinds of the vegetables are mentioned in the Bible and how they were used in those days. While one hundred and twenty-eight different plants are mentioned in the Bible, there are today 2,384 plant species in modem Israel, most of which have been introduced in recent centuries. These plants obviously did not exist there in biblical times and were only recently introduced from Australia and South America, respectively. This article will study only the vegetables mentioned in the Bible and known to have existed in the old and new testament times. Since the first book devoted exclusively to biblical botany was that of Levinus Lemmens in 1566, the modem systematic study of biblical plants, began with F. Hasselquist, a student of Linnaeus, the founder of modem botany. In 1928, Immanuel Loew approached the subject differently, reviewing all known data pertaining to biblical plants. His work not only discussed biblical plants, but also plants in later Jewish literature, particularly the Talmud. The British scholar G. E. Post provided a broad field study of modem plants in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan. More recent major treatments of the subject include those of A. and H. Moldenke (1952), M. Zohary (1982), N. Hareuveni (1984), and Y. J. Choi(1996). Today, articles on specific biblical plants listed in the Bible can be found in any number of encyclopedias. This study attempts to provide a synthesis of the work of a number of scholars who studied the vegetables and plants mentioned in the Bible. As a preliminary study on the culture of food in the biblical period, this study has focused on the identity and features of the vegetables of the Bible. In only a limited number of instances, because of the paucity of the informations and the broad and generic descriptions of the plants, we can't be certain about the identification of the vegetables named in the Bible. In many instances the traditions established by the Greek, Aramaic, and English translations are helpful, although sometimes they are misleading. This paper subdivides the vegetables into broad areas, the general vegetables and the flavoring herbs. Vegetables formed very important part of the diet in the biblical times. Two main types were used: those whose nutritious seeds could be easily stored and those which were eaten freshly gathered from gardens. Pulse seeds provided a useful source of vegetable protein, while fresh green vegetables were vitamin rich. Pulses could be eaten boiled, or their dried seeds could be ground up into flour and then made into nutritious soups. Fresh vegetables were eaten either raw or lightly cooked, usually by boiling in water. The general vegetables in the Bible are herbs(garden rocket), cucumber(snake cucumber), watermelon, leeks, chicory, and onions. Also the flavoring herbs in the Bible are rue, dill, cummin, black cummin, frankincense, cinnamon, cassia, myrrh, black mustard, coriander, mint, saffron, ginger grass, syrian hyssop, aloes(eagle wood), manna which have the flavor, aroma, and medical values.

To study the effects of anti-cancer, anti-metastasis and immune response improvement effects of aqua-acupuncture with Rubi Fructus infusion solution, we used Rubi Fructus infusion solution(taken by water-alcohol method) put into Chung-wan (CV12) and Chok-Samni(ST36) of BALB/c or C57BL/6 which are corresponding to humanbody. We observed the cytotoxicity, the effect on the expression of MMP-9 gene, the ability to control cancer cell proliferation, change of body weight, surviving number, median surviving time, increase of life span, changes in amount of leukocyte, erythrocyte, platelet, total protein, creatinine, glucose and LDH, weight of spleen, number of pulmonary colony, histological analysis on tissue metastasis of lung and liver, splenic cell proliferation, the expression of cytokine gene, the number of $CD4^+$, $CD8^+$, $CD19^+$ and NK cell, and concluded like this. The results were obtained as follows : 1. Effects of Anti-cancer 1) The cytotoxicity about B16-F10 cell line of $2^0$, $2^{-1}$, $2^{-2}$, $2^{-3}$, $2^{-5}$, $2^{-6}$, $2^{-7}$, $2^{-8}$ diluent groups in Rubi Fructus infusion solution treatment was inhibited significantly, compared with control group. 2) The cytotoxicity about HT1080 cell line of $2^0{\sim}2^{-8}$ diluent groups in Rubi Fructus infusion solution treatment was inhibited significantly, compared with control group. 3) The effect on expression of MMP-9 gene was inhibited significantly in all the sample groups, compared with control group. 4) The effect on the control-ability on the cancer cell proliferation showed cytotoxicity significantly in $2^0$, $2^{-1}$, $2^{-2}$, $2^{-3}$, $2^{-4}$, $2^{-5}$, $2^{-6}$, $2^{-7}$, diluent groups. 2. Effects of Anti-metastasis 1) S-180 cancer cell line transplants in BALB/c mice were inhibited significantly in weight increase in all the sample groups, compared with control group. The surviving number increased in almost sample groups, except one group put into Chok-Samni(ST36) with 20% Rubi Fructus infusion solution treatment group that showed same number of the control group. 2) S-180 cancer cell line transplants in BALB/c mice showed high MST significantly in almost sample groups, compared with control group. But one group put into Chok-Samni(ST36) with 20% Rubi Fructus infusion solution showed low MST than control group. 3) The group injected in vein with B16-F10 cancer cell line in C57BL/6 mice showed increased ILS than control group significantly in anti-metastasis test. 3. Effects of Immune response improvement 1) The group injected in vein with B16-F10 cancer cell line in C57BL/6 mice were increased significantly in the number of leukocyte and glucose, and decreased significantly in the amount of platelet and LDH, compared with control group. However, there's no significant increase or decrease in number of erythrocyte, total protein and creatinine. 2) We couldn't find any significant relation in spleen weight of the sample group. 3) In pulmonary colony, sample group was decreased significantly, compared with control group. 4) Histological analysis of sample group inhivited compared with that of control group in both of lung and liver. 5) In immune system, all the sample groups showed having more relevancy to the effect on splenic cell proliferation than normal group. 6) Cytokine gene increased in almost sample groups, except one group treated with $50{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ Rubi Fructus infusion solution on IL-12. 7) In flow cytometry there's no significant relation in number of $CD8^+$ cell, however, the number of $CD4^+$, $CD19^+$ cell and NK cell in sample group had more relation than in control group. Above the results showed that aqua-acupuncture of Rubi Fructus solution has effects of anti-cancer, and-metastasis and immune response improvement.

1. 활성 virus T-CPV에 대한 유발현상은 잠103 및 잠104어느 것이나 male$\times$ female 및 male$\times$female 처리가 높았으며, 접중농도에 있어서 male$\times$female 및 male$\times$female 처리의 H-CPV단독 유발현상은 $10^{7}$ /m1이하에서 높은 경향이었다. 2. Formalin첨식에 의한 유발현상은 잠103 및 잠104 어느 것이나 male$\times$female 및 male$\times$female가 높은 경향이 있다. 3. 냉장처리에 의한 유발현상에서도 formalin첨식의 경우와 같은 경향이 있다. 물론, 병장처리에 의하여 중장형다각체병이 유발되는 것은 전대에 접종된 occult virus가 활성화한다는 것이라 생각할 수 있으나 그 유발되는 정도는 역시 occult virus와 관계되는 유전적, 생리적 및 환경적 여러가지 요인들을 생각할 수 있다. 따라서 실제적인 저온에 의한 유발관계에서 사육환경을 지배하는 사육의 온습도, 생리적요인을 지배하는 엽질 등을 감안해야 할 것이다. 본 시험결과에서 보면 occult virus가 차대에 경란전달되어 사육중 유발요인에 따라서 활성화하는 것은 분명하다. 그러나 지금까지 occult virus를 찾아낼 수 있는 방법은 전자현미경 및 혈청학적인 기술에 의존해도 불가능하다. 따라서 잠종을 생산하는 과정에서 occult virus의 유무를 확인할 수 있는 방법은 active virus가 검출되는 나방(모아)을 대상으로 하는 경우로 제한하여 시험을 해야 할 것이다. 여기서 또한 밝혀져야 하는 것은 occult virus 경란전달과 sublethal infection에 의한 경란전달의 차이점인 것이다. 그리고 현재 우리가 보유하고 있는 품종별로 occult virus의 잠재된 상태를 유발요인별로 검토하므로서 저항성 품종육성에도 좋은 자료가 될 것으로 생각한다.

의료사고에 대하여 의사측에게 손해배상책임을 묻기 위해서는 가해행위, 위법성, 유책성의 요건이 충족되어야 한다. 본 논문은 유책성의 요건인 과실에 대한 판례를 검토한 것이다. 의료손해배상에 대한 판례가 오랫동안 유지하고 있는 판결요지는 수정이 필요하다. 판결요지에 따르면 유책성 요소로서 의료과실은 주의의무 위반을 기준으로 한다. 주의의무 위반은 의료수준을 기준으로 한다. 의료수준은 임상의학의 실천수준에 따라 판단된다. 판결요지에서는 이를 사실적 판단대상이 아닌 규범적 판단대상이라고 한다. 그러나 개개 사안에서 판례는 판결요지와는 다르게 의료수준을 사실적으로 판단하고 있다. 주의의무는 의료수준이 아니라 의료수준에 따라 최선의 진료를 하여야 할 의무이다. 그리하여 의료수준을 규범적으로 판단하고, 이를 기준으로 주의의무를 다시 규범적으로 판단하여야 한다는 판결요지는 동어반복에 지나지 않는다. 판례는 과실로서 주의의무 위반에 이르지 않았다고 하여 의료손해배상책임을 부정한다. 그러나 실제 사안을 보면, 위법성이 부정되거나, 과실이 없거나, 인과관계가 없는 등 손해배상책임의 성립이 부정되는 이유는 다양하다. 판례는 일반인의 상식에 따른 증명, 간접사실을 통한 과실의 추정, 개연성을 통한 제한으로 과실증명에 대한 법리를 전개해 왔다. 구체적 사안의 해결에서 개연성에 대한 증명은 의학적 판단의 문제로 전환되었다. 요컨대 과실에 대한 증명부담의 완화라는 판례의 태도는 개연성을 통해 한걸음 후퇴하고 있는 모습이다. 이러한 배경하에서 의료지침을 위반한 중대한 치료상 잘못을 과실로 보고, 인과관계를 추정하는 독일민법 제630조의 h 제5항을 눈여겨 볼 필요가 있다. 이 조항은 독일에서 사실상 증명책임의 전환이라고 평가된다. 마취사고, 감염사고와 같이 일정한 의료지침을 준수하기만 한다면 경험칙상 악결과를 상당부분 예방할 수 있는 사안에서는 이와 같은 규정이 기능할 수 있는 가능성이 있다.

For nearly a century it has been known that chemical activity accompanies mental activity, but only recently has it been possible to begin to examine its exact nature. Positron-emitting radioactive tracers have made it possible to study the chemistry of the human mind in health and disease, using chiefly cyclotron-produced radionuclides, carbon-11, fluorine-18 and oxygen-15. It is now well established that measurable increases in regional cerebral blood flow, glucose and oxygen metabolism accompany the mental functions of perception, cognition, emotion and motion. On May 25, 1983 the first imaging of a neuroreceptor in the human brain was accomplished with carbon-11 methyl spiperone, a ligand that binds preferentially to dopamine-2 receptors, 80% of which are located in the caudate nucleus and putamen. Quantitative imaging of serotonin-2, opiate, benzodiazapine and muscarinic cholinergic receptors has subsequently been accomplished. In studies of normal men and women, it has been found that dopamine and serotonin receptor activity decreases dramatically with age, such a decrease being more pronounced in men than in women and greater in the case of dopamine receptors than serotonin-2 receptors. Preliminary studies in patients with neuropsychiatric disorders suggests that dopamine-2 receptor activity is diminished in the caudate nucleus of patients with Huntington's disease. Positron tomography permits quantitative assay of picomolar quantities of neuro-receptors within the living human brain. Studies of patients with Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, acute and chronic pain states and drug addiction are now in progress. The growth of any scientific field is based on a paradigm or set of ideas that the community of scientists accepts. The unifying principle of nuclear medicine is the tracer principle applied to the study of human disease. Nineteen hundred and sixty-three was a landmark year in which technetium-99m and the Anger camera combined to move the field from its latent stage into a second stage characterized by exponential growth within the framework of the paradigm. The third stage, characterized by gradually declining growth, began in 1973. Faced with competing advances, such as computed tomography and ultrasonography, proponents and participants in the field of nuclear medicine began to search for greener pastures or to pursue narrow sub-specialties. Research became characterized by refinements of existing techniques. In 1983 nuclear medicine experienced what could be a profound change. A new paradigm was born when it was demonstrated that, despite their extremely low chemical concentrations, in the picomolar range, it was possible to image and quantify the distribution of receptors in the human body. Thus, nuclear medicine was able to move beyond physiology into biochemistry and pharmacology. Fundamental to the science of pharmacology is the concept that many drugs and endogenous substances, such as neurotransmitters, react with specific macromolecules that mediate their pharmacologic actions. Such receptors are usually identified in the study of excised tissues, cells or cell membranes, or in autoradiographic studies in animals. The first imaging and quantification of a neuroreceptor in a living human being was performed on May 25, 1983 and reported in the September 23, 1983 issue of SCIENCE. The study involved the development and use of carbon-11 N-methyl spiperone (NMSP), a drug with a high affinity for dopamine receptors. Since then, studies of dopamine and serotonin receptors have been carried out in over 100 normal persons or patients with various neuropsychiatric disorders. Exactly one year later, the first imaging of opitate receptors in a living human being was performed [1].

본 연구는 농촌지역 주민들의 대사증후군 예방을 위한 영양 사업에 기초 자료를 제공하고자 안동시 읍면 지역 농촌의 45세 이상 주민을 대상으로 신체특성 및 건강관련 생활습관이 대사증후군 발생에 미치는 영향을 다항로지스틱회귀모델을 사용하여 분석하였다. 분석 대상자 1,431명 중 대사증후군 유병율은 38.2%(남자 23.5%, 여자 46.9%)로 남자에 비해 여자의 유병율이 유의적으로 높게 나타났는데 이는 폐경기 이후 여성에서의 대사증후군 비율이 증가하는 것과 관계가 있다고 할 수 있다. 대사증후군 위험인자 중 유병율이 가장 높은 요인은 혈압이었고, 다음은 낮은 HDL-콜레스테롤, 복부비만, 높은 혈당, 높은 혈중 중성지방 순으로 나타나 이 지역 주민의 대사증후군 유병율을 낮추기 위해서는 혈압을 내리고 HDL-콜레스테롤을 높이며 복부비만을 감소시킬 수 있는 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다고 생각된다. 한편, 대사증후군 위험인자를 한 개 이상 가진 사람은 94.7%, 두 개이상은 68.9%로 나타났다. 대사증후군 발생위험요인과 위험도를 분석한 결과 대사증후군 발생 위험도는 남자에 비해 여자가 2.953배 높았다. 체지방율의 경우 정상체중에 비해 비만에서 남녀 각각 5.786배와 13.498배 대사증후군의 위험이 높았으며, 체질량지수로는 정상체중에 비해 비만에서 남녀 각각 3.782배, 13.301배, 고도비만에서는 21.516배, 21.482배 대사증후군의 위험도가 높았다. 건강관련 습관인 흡연, 음주, 운동, 농사활동 시간은 대사증후군 발생위험요인으로 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터, 안동 농촌지역 주민들의 대사증후군 유병율을 낮추기 위해서는 혈압과 폐경 여성들의 복부비만에 대한 철저한 관리가 필요한 것으로 생각된다. 아울러 건강관련 습관인 흡연, 음주, 운동 등이 대사증후군 발생에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 더 많은 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다

Oxidative stress have known to be a risk factor for the degenerative processes and closely related to a lot of diseases. It is well established that antioxidants are good in protection and therapeutic means against oxidative damage. There is increasing interest in natural antioxidants and many natural antioxidants have been found and utilized as the possible protection for various diseases and skin aging. We have screened natural antioxidant agents for cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals, and drugs as therapeutic and preventive means against oxidative stress, and have developed a number of novel antioxidants from various natural sources. A novel melanin synthesis inhibitor, Melanocin A, isolated from the metabolite of a fungal strain Eupenicillium shearii F80695 inhibited mushroom tyrosinase and melanin biosynthesis of B16 melanoma cells with $IC_{50}$ value of 9.0 nM and MIC value of $0.9\;{\mu}M$, respectively. Melanocin A also exhibited potent antioxidant activity by scavenging of DPPH and superoxide anion radicals. UV was found to increase the level of hydrogen peroxides and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) in skin tissues. This increase in ROS may not only alter the structure and function of many genes and proteins directly but may also modulate their expressions through signal transduction pathways and, ultimately, lead to skin damage. We investigated the effect of Melanocin A on UV-induced premature skin aging. Firstly, the effect of Melanocin A on UV-induced matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 expression in an immortalized human keratinocyte cell line, HaCaT in vitro was investigated. Acute UV irradiation induced MMP-9 expression at both the mRNA and protein levels and Melanocin A suppressed this expression in a dose-dependent manner. We then investigated UV-induced skin changes in hairless mice in vivo by Melanocin A. Chronic exposure of hairless mouse dorsal skin to UV increased skin thickness and induced wrinkle formation and the gelatinase activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9. Moreover, Melanocin A significantly suppressed UV-induced morphologic skin changes and MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression. These results show that Melanocin A can prevent the harmful effects of UV that lead to skin aging. Therefore, we suggest that Melanocin A should be viewed as a potential therapeutic agent for preventing and/or treating premature skin aging. Terrein is a bioactive fungal metabolite isolated from Penicillium species. Terrein has a relatively simple structure and can be easily synthesized. However, the biologic effects of terrein are comparatively unknown. We found for the first time that terrein potently inhibit melanin production in melanocytes and has a strong hypopigmentary effect in a spontaneously immortalized mouse melanocyte cell line, Mel-Ab. Treatment of Mel-Ab cells with terrein (10-100 mM) for 4 days significantly reduced melanin levels in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, terrein at the same concentration also reduced tyrosinase activity. We then investigated whether terrein influences the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) pathway and the expression of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), which is required for tyrosinase expression. Terrein was found to induce sustained ERK activation and MITF down-regulation, and luciferase assays showed that terrein inhibits MITF promoter activity in a dose-dependent manner. To elucidate the correlation between ERK pathway activation and a decreased MITF transcriptional level, PD98059, a specific inhibitor of the ERK pathway, was applied before terrain treatment and found to abrogate the terrein-induced MITF attenuation. Terrein also reduced the tyrosinase protein level for at least 72 h. These results suggest that terrain reduces melanin synthesis by reducing tyrosinase production via ERK activation, and that this is followed by MITF down-regulation.

목적 : 인체의 심근 및 간조직의 생체내 $^{31}P$ MRS에서 NOE 효과에 의한 분광신호 세기의 증가를 평가하고자 하였으며 또한 동일 장기에서 대사물질에 따른 NOE 효과의 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 열명의 정상 성인군(남:여=8:2, 연령분포=24-32)을 대상으로 1.5T 자기공명영상/분광 장치에서 $^1H-^{31}P$ 이중 튜닝 표면 코일을 사용하여 생체내 $^{31}P$ MRS를 시행하였다. $^{31}P$ MRS 측정은 이차원 화학변위영상기법을 사용하였으며 동일한 파라미터에서 NOE 효과 없이 그리고 $^1H$ decoupling상태에서 NOE 효과에 의한 $^{31}P$ MRS 데이터를 획득하였다. $^{31}P$ MRS raw data의 postprocessing 후 얻어진 스펙트럼에서 주요 대사물질들의 신호증가를 비교하였다. 결과: 간조직의 $^{31}P$ HRS에서 NOE 효과에 의한 신호증가율은 $\alpha-ATP\;(7\%),\;\beta-ATP\;(9\%),\;\gamma-ATP\;(17\%),\;Pi\;(1\%),\;PDE\;(19\%),\;PME\;(31\%)$였다. 간조직의 경우 크리아틴 키나제가 없기 때문에 PCr 신호는 관찰되지 않았다. 심근의 $^{31}P$ MRS은 whole body 코일이 표면 코일보다 우수한 scout 영상을 제공하여 $^{31}P$ MRS의 localization에 유리하였다. $^{31}P$ 심근 다중 체적 스펙트럼에서 , 혈액의 DPG 신호는 심근으로부터 멀어질 수록 증가하는 양상을 나타내었고 NOE 효과에 의한 신호증가율은 $\alpha-ATP\;(12\%),\;\beta-ATP\;(19\%),\;\gamma-ATP\;(30\%),\;PCr\;(34\%),\;Pi\;(20\%),\;PDE\;(51\%),\;DPG\;(72\%)$ 였다. 결론: 간조직에 비해 심근의 경우 큰 신호증가를 보였고 이는 간조직 대사물질들의 $^{31}P$가 심근과는 다른 $^1H$ coupling을 나타냄을 의미한다고 해석할 수 있다.
