  • 옥수수수염 차의 MPSS 처리에 의한 위해미생물의 살균 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. 옥수수수염 차에 E. coli와 L. monocytogenes를 5~6 log CFU/mL 수준으로 접종하고, MPSS 처리한 후 25$^{\circ}C$에서 12일 동안 저장하면서 실험하였다. E. coli는 1, 2, 3 회 MPSS 처리 후 각각 1.14, 2.49, 5.72 log CFU/mL의 감균 효과를 보였고, L. monocytogenes는 MPSS 1, 2, 3회 처리 후 각각 1.93, 4.49, 6.62 log CFU/mL의 감균 효과를 보였다. 또한, E. coli와 L. monocytogenes 모두 MPSS 4회 처리 후에는 모두 사멸되었고, 저장 12일까지 검출되지 않았다. 그리고 MPSS 처리는 옥수수수염 차의 TPC에 부정적인 영향을 끼치지 않았고, 탁도는 4회 이상 MPSS 처리에 의해 향상되었다. 따라서 본 연구 결과, MPSS 처리는 옥수수수염 차의 품질 유지와 더불어 미생물 생육 억제가 가능하기에 옥수수수염 차의 살균에 MPSS를 적용할 수 있다고 판단된다.

  • Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the most widely used immunosuppressive agents, but animals treated with GCs may experience deleterious side effects which limit their use in many clinical conditions. In the present study, we examined whether methylprednisolone sodium succinate (MPSS), a glucocorticoid, modulates circulating leukocyte numbers, phagocytic capacity and oxidative burst activity (OBA) of canine peripheral blood phagocytes, and whether tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-$\alpha$) release is affected by MPSS injection. Neutrophilia and monocytosis were induced by the administration of a high dose of MPSS, which is the recommended protocol for canine patients with acute spinal cord injury. The injection of MPSS decreased the phagocytic capacity of canine PMNs but not PBMCs, and recovered 12 hours (hr) after the completion of MPSS dosing. The OBA of both PMNs and PBMCs was suppressed by MPSS, and restored 24 hr after the completion of dosing. The lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-α release by PBMCs but not PMNs exposed to MPSS was reduced 12 hr after the completion of dosing, and recovered 48 hr after the completion of dosing. These results suggest that the application of MPSS protocol inhibits the innate immune functions of canine peripheral blood phagocytes for short time relatively.

  • Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of rare inherited metabolic disorders caused by specific lysosomal enzyme deficiencies leading to the sequential degradation of glycosaminoglycans, causing substrate accumulation in various cells and tissues and progressive multiple organ dysfunction. The rare disease medical care team at Mackay Memorial Hospital in Taiwan has been dedicated to the study of MPSs for more than 20 years. Since 1999, more than 50 academic papers focusing on MPSs have been published in international medical journals. Topics of research include the following items regarding MPSs: incidence, natural history, clinical manifestations, gene mutation characteristics, cardiac function, bone mineral density, sleep studies, pulmonary function tests, hearing assessments, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, anesthetic experience, imaging analysis, special biochemical tests, laboratory diagnostics, global expert consensus conferences, prenatal diagnosis, new drug clinical trials, newborn screening, and treatment outcomes. Of these published academic research papers, more than half were cross-domain, cross-industry, and international studies with results in cooperation with experts from European, American and other Asian countries. A cross-specialty collaboration platform was established based on high-risk population screening criteria with the acronym "BECARE" (Bone and joints, Eyes, Cardiac and central nervous system, Abdomen and appearance, Respiratory system, and Ear, nose, and throat involvement). Through this platform, orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, ophthalmologists, cardiologists, rehabilitation physicians, gastroenterologists, otorhinolaryngologists, and medical geneticists have been educated with regards to awareness of suspected cases of MPSs patients to allow for a further confirmative diagnosis of MPSs. Because of the progressive nature of the disease, an early diagnosis and early multidisciplinary therapeutic interventions including surgery, rehabilitation programs, symptom-based treatments, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and enzyme replacement therapy, are very important.

  • Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of rare inherited metabolic diseases caused by deficiency of lysosomal enzymes. MPSs are clinically heterogeneous and characterized by progressive deterioration in visceral, skeletal and neurological functions. The aim of this article is to review the treatment of MPSs, the unmet needs of current treatments and vision for the future including recent clinical trials. Until recently, supportive care was the only option available for the management of MPSs. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), another potentially curative treatment, is not routinely advocated in clinical practice due to its high risk profile and lack of evidence for efficacy. From the early 2000s, enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) was approved and available for the treatment of MPS I, II and VI. ERT is effective for the treatment of many somatic symptoms, particularly walking ability and respiratory function, and remains the mainstay of MPS treatment. However, no benefit was found in the neurological symptoms because the enzymes do not readily cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In recent years, intrathecal (IT) ERT, substrate reduction therapy (SRT) and gene therapy have been rapidly gaining greater recognition as potential therapeutic avenues. Although still under investigation, IT ERT, SRT and gene therapy are promising MPS treatments that may prevent the neurodegeneration not improved by ERT.

  • 목적: 시판되고 있는 소프트콘택트렌즈용 다목적용액이 사람의 각막상피세포에 미치는 세포독성을 이미지 분석법을 이용하여 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 각막상피세포를 6종류의 다목적용액(A~F)이 0.05~50% 포함된 배양액에서 각각 2시간, 12시간, 24시간, 48시간 동안 배양하였다. 배양 후 각막상피세포를 고정한 다음 Draq 5로 염색하고 공초점현미경과 ImageXpress $Ultra^{TM}$를 이용하여 세포형태를 관찰하고 세포생존율과 세포자살(apoptosis)을 비교하였다. 결과: 각막상피세포 생존율과 세포자살은 다목적용액을 2시간 처리한 경우에는 모든 제품에서 대조군과 차이가 없었으나, 12시간 이상 처리한 경우에는 B~F 제품에서 대조군의 52~75% 수준으로 감소하였고, 세포자살은 모든 제품에서 차이가 없었다. 24~48시간 처리한 경우에는 생존율이 29~73% 수준으로 감소하였고(p<0.05), 세포자살은 199~526% 증가하였다. 제품별로는 다목적용액 D, E, F가 A보다 각막상피세포 생존율을 감소시켰고 세포자살을 증가시켰다(p<0.05). 결론: 저농도의 다목적용액은 각막상피세포 독성에 영향을 미치지 않지만 고농도의 다목적용액은 각막상피세포의 자살을 유도하고 세포생존율을 저하시킬 수 있으므로 다목적용액의 성분은 소독기능이 우수하고 독성이 없는 성분으로 개발되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Tandem mass spectrometry and other new technologies for the multiplex and quantitative analysis of dried blood spots have emerged as powerful techniques for the early screening and assessment of newborns for lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs). Screening newborns for these diseases is important, since treatment options, including enzyme replacement therapy or hematopoietic transplantation, are available for some LSDs, such as infant-onset Pompe disease, Fabry disease, some types of mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs), and Krabbe disease. For these diseases, early initiation of treatment, before symptoms worsen, often leads to better clinical outcomes. Several problems, however, are associated with newborn screening for LSDs, including the development of accurate test methods to reduce low false-positive rates and treatment guidelines for late-onset or mild disease variants, the high costs associated with multiplex assays, and ethical issues. In this review, we discuss the history, current status, and ethical problems associated with the newborn screening for LSDs, including MPSs.

  • UV disinfection is widely used in water treatment facilities and wastewater treatment plant because of its effectiveness to removal of pathogen and Giardia which is resistant to traditional chemical disinfection. As a design and performance tool of UV disinfection system, 3 dimensional UV intensity models were composed and simulated to compare each other and to find affecting factors in this study. Reflection, refraction and absorption are important parameters in UV intensity model and MPSS and MSSS model can reflect these parameters while LSI model can not. Absorption is the most important parameters among the reflection, refraction, absorption and shadowing so, this should not be neglect. Based on this simulation, shadowing effect is negligible when the number of installed lamp is a few but, this effect can not be neglectable when the number of installed lamp is quite a few. The errors according to shadowing effect is increased as the number of lamp installed increased.
