복강 내당능 시험과 MLD STZ 당뇨를 유발시킨 rat에서 백삼, 홍삼, 화기삼의 항당뇨 활성을 비교한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 복강 내당능 시험에서 백삼은 효과를 나타내지 못한 반면 홍삼과 화기삼은 대조군에 대하여 유의적인 변차를 나타내었다. MLD STZ로 당뇨를 유발시킨 SD계 흰쥐에 백삼, 홍삼, 화기삼을 2주간 투여 후 혈당강하 활성을 비교한 결과 홍삼 투여군의 혈당이 가장 낮았으며 백삼과 화기삼은 비슷한 크기의 활성을 나타내었다. 2. 백삼과 홍삼, 화기삼은 모두 고혈당에 의한 체중 감소 현상을 개선시켰으며 각 투여군 간에는 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 3. 당뇨의 대표적인 증상인 다식 (多食)과 다음 (多飮)현상이 백삼, 홍삼, 화기삼 투여에 의하여 개선되었으며 그 중 홍삼에 의한 효과가 가장 컸다. 4. 혈당강하 활성과 ginsenoside profile간의 상관관계를 살펴본 결과 PPT/PPD ratio가 가장 큰 홍삼의 혈당강하 활성이 백삼과 화기삼에 비해 높은 것으로 보아 PPT/PPD ratio가 혈당강하 활성의 key ratio가 아닌가 추측된다.

The proso millet is vulnerable to lodging due to high plant height and shallow root. A lodging results in a hard mechanical harvesting and yield loss. One of solutions on this problem is inhibition of internode elongation. The objective of this study was to set up use time and dose of prohexadium-calcium, is growth inhibitor. The experimental variety was Ibaekchal. The experiment design was a split-plot design with three replications. The treatments were as follow: Main-plots were 25 and 35 day after sowing(DAS) as use time and sub-plots were 0%, 50%, 100%(diluted solution of 1000 times, $1000{\ell}\;ha^{-1}$), 150% as dose. The amount of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium fertilization were 90, 70, $80kg\;ha^{-1}$, respectively. The size of high ridge and plant spacing were $90{\times}30cm$ and $60{\times}15cm$, respectively. Proso millet was sown on June 9, 2016 by hands and was adjusted at 2 plant per hill. The growth survey of vegetative growth stage was conducted at 1 day before treatment and with one week interval after treatment. Data were collected: (1) grain yield: weight of grain in $kg\;ha^{-1}$, (2) 1000 grain weight: average weight of 1000 grain, (3) plant height: distance from soil to top of panicle or leaf in cm, (4) ear length: distance from top of stem to top of ear in cm, (5) stem diameter: diameter of second internode (6) degree of lodging: percentage of lodging area, etc. Analyses of variance were performed using R version 3.3.1(https://www. r- project. org). The Duncan's multiple range test(DMR) was used to separate treatment means at P < 0.05. There was a significant difference in plant height and number of stem among the use time and dose of prohexadium-calcium during vegetative growth stage. At 25 DAS, the difference with no treatment increased until 25 day after treatment and decreased since then. The difference in number of stem increased until 18 day and decreased since 25 day. At 35 DAS, the difference with no treatment in plant height and number of stem increased until 22 day after treatment and decreased since then. We assumed that the effect of prohexadium-calcium was inhibition of internode elongation and promotion of tillering, continued untel 25day after treatment. At 25 DAS, the degree of lodging deceased to 100%, 30%, 10% and 0% as dose increased. At 35 DAS, the degree of lodging decreased to 100%, 20%, 0% and 0% as dose increased. At 25 DAS, the yield was 2910, 2710, 3190, $2310kg\;ha^{-1}$ among dose. At 35 DAS, the yield was 2750, 2630, 2220, $2050kg\;ha^{-1}$. We recommend that the optimum use time and dose of prohexadium-calcium for proso millet is 1000 times diluted solution of $1000{\ell}$ per ha at 25 day after sowing.

목 적 : 다발성 뇌 전이의 방사선치료 시 jaw tracking(JT)과 fixed jawFJ)를 이용한 용적세기조절회전치료(Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy, VMAT)를 비교하고 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : JT를 이용하여 치료받은 다발성 뇌 전이(Multiple Brain Metastasis) 환자 중 6개 이상의 종양이 있고 조사면 크기가 $14{\times}14cm^2$ 이상인 환자 10명을 대상으로 하였다. Eclipse(Ver 13.6 Varian, USA)로 JT와 FJ의 전산화치료계획을 각각 수립하였으며, 전자포털영상장치(Electronic Portal Imaging Device, EPID)를 이용하여 감마지수(Gamma Index, 3 mm, 3 %, 95 % 신뢰구간) 및 최대선량차이(Max. Dose Difference)를 측정하였다. 또한 손상위험장기(Organ At Risk, OAR)의 $D_{max}$ 및 $D_{mean}$을 산출하고 비교하였으며 처방선량지수(Conformity Index, CI), 선량균질지수(Homogeneity Index, HI)를 평가하였다. 결 과 : JT와 FJ의 측정값을 평가한 감마지수는 모든 Case에서 허용 기준(3 mm, 3 %, 95 % 신뢰구간)에 충족하였으며, 최대선량차이값은 Leaf End Transmission이 발생하는 영역에서 시계방향(Clockwise, CW)은 최대 98.4 %, 평균 43.6 %, 반시계방향(Counter-Clockwise, CCW)은 최대 67.9 %, 평균 41.0 %로 측정되었다. 손상위험장기는 JT를 사용하였을 때 각 정상장기에 대한 $D_{max}$의 최대값은 15.36 %~74.59 %, 평균값은 2.84 %~39.80 % 감소, $D_{mean}$의 최대값은 27.90 %~65.23 %, 평균값은 7.70 %~41.71 %로 감소하였으며, 처방선량지수와 선량균질지수값은 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 다발성 뇌 전이에서 VMAT으로 치료할 경우 JT를 이용하면 치료계획용적(Planning Target Volume, PTV)의 선량분포에 영향을 미치지 않으면서 불특정 영역에서 발생하는 방사선의 누설 및 투과로 인한 불필요한 피폭을 감소시키고 정상장기에 더 낮은 선량으로 방사선치료가 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between the efficacy and safety of different doses of thalidomide (Thal) plus dexamethasone (Dex) as the initial therapy in elderly patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). Methods: Clinical data of 28 elderly patients with newly diagnosed MM who underwent the TD regimen as the initial therapy were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to the maximal sustained dose of Thal: lower dose (group A) and higher dose (group B). The overall response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AES) were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 28 patients were followed up with a median of 18 months. The ORR was 60.1%. The median response time and PFS were 2.0 and 17.0 months, respectively. The mean sustained dose of Thal in group B was significantly higher than group A (292.9 mg v 180.4 mg, P=0.01). There was no significantly difference in ORR (57.1% v 64.3%, P=1.00) and PFS (9.63months v 17.66 months, P=0.73) between groups A and B. During the follow up, only five patients died (<40%) and, therefore, median OS values were not available. It is estimated, however, that the mean survival time in the two groups was 35.6 and 33.4 months (P>0.05), respectively. All of the patients tolerated the treatment well. The incidence of AES in patients with a grading above 3 in group B was significantly higher than in group A (P=0.033). Conclusions: The TD regimen results in a high response rate and manageable AES as the initial therapy in elderly patients with MM. TD should be considered as the front line regimen for the treatment of elderly patients with MM in areas with financial constraints. The clinical response can be achieved at a low dose Thal with minimal toxicity.

Ultrasound-guided follicular aspiration was performed in Holstein heifers once weekly with or without pretreatment of single or multiple decreasing doses using a total of 400 mg FSH. Oocytes were aspirated with a 6.5 MHz convex-array ultrasound trasducer designed for intravaginal use. All the visible follicles larger than 4 mm in diameter were punctured with a 17 gauge, 55 cm needle at each aspiration session and the follicular fluids containing oocytes were obtained by vacuum suction. The results obtained were as follows: As a preliminary experiment, the recovery rates of folicular oocytes by ultrasound-guided aspiration from the isolated ovaries of Korean native cows were compared between suction methods using manual syringe or vacuum pump. The recovery rate of oocytes using vacuum pump (80.7%) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that using manual syringe (47.1%). The follicles were counted by their size in diameter with ultrasound image, and recovery rates and grades of follicular oocytes collected by ultrasound-guided aspiration were investigated in Holstein heifers pretreated with or without FSH. A group of heifiers were injected with multiple decreasing doses (twice a day for 3 days) of a total of 400 mg FSH. The other 2 groups were injected with a single dose of 400 mg FSH mixed with 25% PVP. Ultrasound observation of follicle population and/or ultrasound-guided transvaginal oocyte aspiration were performed 12 hrs following the last FSH injection in the multiple dose group, and 48 or 60 hrs after FSH injection in the single dose groups. Most of the visible follicles had small size of less than 3 mm in diameter in unstimulated heifers (71.0%), but medium size in all the heifers treated with FSH. (70.5 to 92.8%). The number of OPU follicles per session (4.6$\pm$1.9) were much less, compared to the vilsible follicle counts (9.7$\pm$2.2), in the nustimulated heifers due to the small dominant follicles. Among 4 goups of heifers the most visible as well as OPU follicles were observed in the heifers at 60 hrs following treatment of a single dose of 400 mg FSH (21.2$\pm$2.3 and 21.0$\pm$2.0), and the differences in both the follicle counts between the groups was found significant (P<0.05) The rates of oocyte recovery from the follicles by ultrasound-guilded aspiration were varied 46.3 to 75.0% in the heifers unstimulated and treated with a single dose of 400 mg FSH, but the group difference was not significant. The number of recovered oocytes per session a, pp.ared to be highest at aspiration at 60 hrs following single FSH (10.6$\pm$2.2) than at aspiration at 48 hrs after single FSH (7.8$\pm$2.7) or in the unstimulated heifers (3.4$\pm$3.0). The proportion of grade I and II oocytes to all oocytes collected was varied 31.8 to 64.0% between the groups. However, there was found no significant difference in both the number of oocytes recovered per session and the percentage and the percentage of grade I and II oocytes. From the above results it was concluded that the more oocytes of superior quality might be recovered economically by ultrasound-guided aspiration at 60 hrs following the pretreatment of a single dose of 400 mg FSH and by suction using a vacuum pump system of about negative pressure of 75 to 85 mmHg.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of GnRH antagonist multiple dose protocol applied during early and late follicular phase (MDP-EL) in comparison with standard GnRH agonist luteal long protocol (LP) in each non-obese and obese polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women undergoing IVF. Methods: Two hundred eleven infertile women with PCOS were recruited and randomized to undergo either GnRH antagonist MDP-EL (antagonist group) or standard GnRH agonist luteal LP (agonist group). IVF cycle outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results: Total dose and days of recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone (rhFSH) administered were significantly fewer in the antagonist group than in the agonist group. Incidence of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome was significantly lower in the antagonist group. However, IVF and pregnancy outcomes were similar in the two groups. When all subjects were divided into non-obese and obese subgroups, in non-obese PCOS subgroup, IVF and pregnancy outcomes were comparable in the antagonist and agonist groups but total dose and days of rhFSH were also significantly fewer in the antagonist group. Similar findings were also observed in obese PCOS subgroup. Conclusion: GnRH antagonist MDP-EL is at least as effective as GnRH agonist LP and may be a more patient-friendly alternative in controlled ovarian stimulation for PCOS patients undergoing IVF, independent of body mass index.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis that predominantly affects small vessels of the body. The two most common ANCAs are myeloperoxidase ANCA and proteinase 3 ANCA. Neurological manifestations are frequent in patients with AAV, including peripheral neuropathy, meningitis, and stroke. AAV-associated ischemic stroke usually affects small vessels supplying the white matter or brainstem. This case report details the presentation and treatment course of a 70-year-old man with rapidly progressive multiple intracranial large artery involvement attributed to myeloperoxidase ANCA-associated vasculitis. Despite treatment with high-dose steroids and a rituximab infusion, the patient developed new speech difficulties and respiratory distress, and brain imaging confirmed new stroke lesions with progressive multiple intracranial large cerebral artery involvement. The patient died from SARS-CoV-2 infection 4 months after the diagnosis. This case emphasized the rare presentation of rapidly progressive large vessel involvement in a patient with myeloperoxidase ANCA-associated vasculitis despite active immunotherapy.

Chromosome rearrangement induced by bleomycin were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization with probe for chromosome 4. The frequency of color junctions, translocations, dicentric and acenttic fragments increased with bleomycin dose. Different types of balanced translocation and dicentric were scored and compared. The frequency of cells exhibiting multiple aberration was higher compared to that of cells exposed to Gamma radiation suggesting that effect of bleomycin might be similar to that of high LET radiation.
