Sotos syndrome (SS, OMIM 117550) is characterized by prenatal and postnatal overgrowth with multiple congenital anomalies. However, there have been few cases of growth retardation caused by renal failure from infancy. We report a case of dysplasia of the bilateral kidneys with renal failure and poor postnatal growth. A 2-month-old boy visited the emergency room owing to poor oral intake and abdominal distension. He was born at the gestational age of 38 weeks with a birth weight of 4,180 g. After birth, he had feeding difficulty and abdominal distension. Upon physical examination, his height and weight were in less than the 3rd percentile, while his head circumference was in the 50th percentile on the growth curve. He also showed a broad and protruding forehead and high hairline. Blood laboratory tests showed severe azotemia; emergent hemodialysis was needed. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed bilateral renal dysplasia with multiple cysts and diffuse bladder wall thickening. A posterior urethral valve was suggested based on vesicoureterography and abdominal magnetic resonance findings. Results of a colon study to rule out congenital megacolon did not reveal any specific findings. The conventional karyotype of the patient was 46, XY. Array comparative genomic hybridization study revealed a chromosome 5q35 microdeletion including the NSD1 gene, based on which SS was diagnosed. We describe a case of SS presenting with end stage renal disease due to posterior urethral valve. The typical somatic overgrowth of SS in the postnatal period was not observed due to chronic renal failure that started in the neonatal period.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a hybrid arch bar (hAB) with the conventional Erich arch bar (EAB) for the management of jaw fractures, focusing on their use for temporary fixation in patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Materials and Methods: Patients presenting with maxillary and mandibular fractures at our institution were included in this prospective, comparative study. Placement time and ease of occlusal reproducibility were recorded intraoperatively for Group A (hAB patients) and Group B (EAB patients). The primary outcome was comparison of the postoperative stability of the two arch bars. Postoperative measurements also included mucosal overgrowth, screw loosening or wire retightening, and replacement rates. The data were tabulated and computed with a P<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The study included 41 patients. A statistically significant difference was observed in postoperative stability scores (3) between Group A and Group B (85.0% vs 9.5%, P=0.001). The mean placement time in Group A (23.3 minutes) significantly differed from that in Group B (86.4 minutes) (P<0.001). The ease of intraoperative occlusion was not different between the two groups (P=0.413). Mucosal overgrowth was observed in 75.0% of patients (15 of 20) in Group A. Conclusion: The hAB was superior to EAB in clinical efficiency, maxillomandibular fixation time reduction, stability, versatility, and safety. Despite temporary mucosal overgrowth, the benefits of hAB outweigh the disadvantages. The choice between hAB and EAB should be based on specific clinical requirements.

느타리버섯 푸른곰팡이병에 대한 품종 저항성은 포장에서 효과적인 검토가 불가능하여 한천 배지상에서 푸른곰팡이균이 균을 저해하는 특징 fungistatic, lysis, toxin enzyme 등에 대한 각각의 특성을 실내에 검정할 수있는 방법을 검토하기 위하여 균사생장과 특이 현상을 조사하였다. 대치배양에서는 느타리버섯 균주에 따라 대치선 형성위치, 푸른곰팡이균의 느타리균사 생장부분 위로 생장(overgrowth), 대치선 이후의 버섯균의 용균(lysis)현상이 발생하여 효과적인 저항성 검정이 가능하였다. 배양여액을 여지에 적용하는 방법은 버섯균과 병원균의 종류에 따른 균사생장 및 특이적 현상이 타나나지 않았으나, well plate를 이용한 배양여액 희석방법으로 균사생장의 억제정도의 확인이 가능하였다. 분활 petri dish를 활용하여 동시배양의 경우 약간의 버섯균이 억제되는 현상은 보였으나, 푸른곰팡이균이 버섯균 생장 부분 위로 덮어 효과검정이 불가능 하였다. 버섯균을 petri dish 전체에 배양한 후 그 위에 병원균의 균총을 접종하는 방법은 overgrowth, lysis등의 현상이 발생하여 병원성의 검정이 용이하였다. 실내에서의 느타리버섯균의 푸른곰팡이병에 대한 저항성 검정은 대치배양, 배양여액법, 생장후 접종법에 의한 방법으로 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced gut damage and bacterial translocation (BT) have not been studies well, especially from the perspective of time after administration of NSAIDs. We therefore examined these changes in animals. The study was performed on 5 groups of rat; a control group (group A) and diclofenac groups (groups B, C, E, and F). Rats in the diclofenac groups were orally administered diclofenac sodium before intestinal permeability (IP) measurement (group B, 1 h before measurement; group C, 10 h before; group D, 22 h before; and group E, 52 h before). The IP, stool pellet number, serum biochemical profile, enteric bacterial number, and BT in the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs), liver, spleen, kidney and heart were measured. The administration of diclofenac resulted in significantly increased IP, caused intestinal protein loss, decreased stool pellet number, caused enteric bacterial overgrowth and increased BT in multiple organs in groups A, B, C, and D. IF, intestinal protein loss, and the BT in the liver and the spleen in group E were decreased than those in group D. There were no differences in the other parameters between group D and E. In the recovery phase of the diclofenac-induced gut damage, enteric bacterial overgrowth and BT in the kidneys and the heart did not change while the BT in the reticuloendothelial systems such as in the MLNs and liver was decreased.

Objective & Methods : This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Cistanches Herba herbal-acupuncture (CH-HA) at KI10 (Umgok) on osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy in mice. The results were as follows; Results : CH-HA at KI10 significantly inhibited the overgrowth of tibia, the elevation of serum osteocalcin level, the reduction of tibial Ca and P level, the increase of tibial osteoclast like cells, the reduction of tibial TBV (trabecular bone volume), the overgrowth of tibial GPL (growth plate length) in ovariectomized mice. NP at KI10 significantly inhibited the reduction of BMD (bone mineral density) in ovariectomized mice, but CH-HA did not. Conclusion : Taken together, CH-HA at KI10 has a protective or therapeutic effect for osteoporosis in ovariectomized mice. Therefore, it is suggested that CH-HA may be an useful therapeutics in clinical filed after further researches.

HVPE법으로 $3{\mu}m$의 GaN epi를 성장하고 이 위에 DC 마그네트론 Sputter를 이용하여 Ti stripe 패턴 형성하였으며 다시 HVPE를 이용하여 $120{\mu}m$ ~ $300{\mu}m$ 두께의 GaN를 overgrowth하였다. 성장된 GaN는 SEM 측정으로 Ti 패턴한 부분에서 void가 관찰되었고 보다 두꺼운 GaN를 성장시에는 크랙이 void를 따라 발생할 수 있음을 확인하였으며 XRD측정으로 FWHM은 188 arcsec로 측정되었다. 성장전의 GaN epi와의 반치폭을 비교하였을 때 패턴에 사용된 Ti는 overgrowth시 결정성에는 크게 영향을 주지 않는다는 것을 확인하였다.
