  • The purpose of this study is to derive the environmental factors affecting child loss through correlation analysis between child loss and pedestrian density. The status of lost children was identified through the lost child records and interviews in large parks. In addition, the behavior survey was conducted by photographing the entire outdoor of each park, and visitors was marked on the behavioral maps. Also, the pedestrian density was analyzed by GIS as 100㎡ and 1㎡ grid. As a result, child loss was related to the pedestrian density rather than the number of visitors or the area. Especially, 'Dynamic pedestrian density' and 'Ratio of pedestrian in high density to area' was related to child loss. In other words, the more dynamic behaviors such as play and movement appear, and the more the local area of high density, the higher the probability of child loss. In addition, environmental factors that induce such high density include bottlenecks, overlap of circulation due to multi-functionality of space, concentration of rides, and concentration of guardians due to visual obstacles.

  • Tiarella polyphylla D. Don is a native plant distributed only in Ulleung Island in Korea and has been traditionally used for medicinal purposes, although it is also used ornamentally. This study was conducted to determine the requirements for dormancy break and germination and to classify the type of seed dormancy. The experiments were performed with cold stratification (0 or 12 weeks at $5^{\circ}C$), warm stratification (0, 4, 8, or 12 weeks at $23^{\circ}C$, followed by 8 weeks at $5^{\circ}C$, and then incubation at $23^{\circ}C$), and $GA_3$ treatments (0, 10, 100, or 1000 mg/L). The treated seeds were incubated on aseptic media at room chamber ($23^{\circ}C$, a 16h photoperiod of fluorescent lamps with $40{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$). The seeds were dispersed in nature as underdeveloped embryos with no physical barrier to absorb water to prevent water absorption. However, the seeds did not germinate for 30 days after sowing without any pre-treatments. Thus, the seeds had morphological dormancy (MD) and physiological dormancy (PD). The final germination percentage following cold stratification (0 or 12 weeks) was 66.7% and 45.6%, respectively. The cold stratification delayed seed germination by about 3 weeks. In the warm stratification experiment (0, 4, 8, or 12 weeks), the final germination percentage was 21.1%, 27.8%, 41.1%, and 57.8%, respectively, 20 weeks after sowing. The embryos of the T. polyphylla seed grew in relatively warm temperatures ($23^{\circ}C$). $GA_3$ application overcame seed dormancy and promoted germination. Following $GA_3$ treatment (0, 10, 100, or 1000 mg/L), the final germination percentage was 33.3%, 45.0%, 42.5%, and 72.5%, respectively. These results suggest that the T. polyphylla seeds had non-deep simple morphophysiological dormancy (MPD) and $GA_3$ treatment could be used as a substitute for warm stratification for breaking seed dormancy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of seed dormancy characteristics of the genus Tiarella native to Korea.

  • Clitocybin A is a novel anti-wrinkle cosmetic agent produced by the strain from a Korean native mushroom Clitocybe aurantiaca. In this study, fermentation, extraction, and purification conditions for a large scale production of clitocybin A were optimized, and its cytotoxicity and inhibition activity on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) were characterized. The mass production of anti-wrinkle agent was achieved according to the 300 L fermentation process with a fed-batch cultivation using the modified yeast-maltose (YM) broth, and a total of 12.5 kg of cell mass was obtained in a 120 L culture broth for 14 days. After extraction and purification, clitocybin A was identified by HPLC. The cytotoxicity of clitocybin A was examined by the MTT assay. When assayed at 100 and 200 ${\mu}g/ml$ concentrations, clitocybin A showed no cytotoxicity, demonstrating safety. The inhibition activity of clitocybin A on the expression of MMP-1 was examined against UV irradiation. Oleanolic acid (control group) showed a relatively low MMP-1 inhibiting activity (ca. 16.7%) at 10 ${\mu}g/ml$ and showed increased cytotoxicity at higher concentrations. In contrast, clitocybin A showed no cytotoxicity at 100 ${\mu}g/ml$, and exhibited a relatively high MMP-1-inhibiting activity (33.1%). These findings indicate that clitocybin A may be a safe and effective anti-wrinkle agent for use in functional cosmetics.

  • Background : This study assessed the efficacy and toxicity of etoposide and carboplatin(EC) combination regimen as a first line therapy for small cell lung cancer(SCLC), and determined the efficacy and toxicity of topotecan for relapsed SCLC. Methods : One hundred and ten patients with previously untreated SCLC received etoposide($100mg/m^2$ i.v., day 1 to 3) and carboplatin($300mg/m^2$ i.v., day 1) combination chemotherapy every 3 weeks. For patients with relapsed SCLC after EC therapy, topotecan($1.5mg/m^2$) was administered for 5 consecutive days every 3 weeks. Response rate, survival and toxicity profiles were assessed. Response was recorded as CR(complete remission), PR(partial remission), SD(stable disease) and PD(progressive disease). Results : One hundred and one patients were assessed for response to EC. Overall response rate to EC was 57.4%(CR 15.8%, PR 41.6%) with a time to progression of 10.3 months(median). The toxicity was tolerable and there was no treatment-related death. Twenty one relapsed SCLC patients were treated with topotecan. Of those who relapsed within 3 months of EC(refractory relapse, RR), 15.4%(2/13) showed PR, while of those who relapsed after 3 months(sensitive relapse, SR), 25%(2/8) exhibited PR. Grade 4 neutropenia was noted in 9.5% and 14.3% showed thrombocytopenia(G4). Conclusion : The EC regimen showed a moderate response rate for SCLC with minimal toxicity. The use of topotecan for relapsed SCLC warrants further investigation.

  • To make an assessment of the compatibility between DOAS and conventional point monitoring system (MCSAM-2: MS2), we investigated the concentrations of three criteria pollutants which include S $O_2$, N $O_2$, and $O_3$from a national monitoring station in Seoul during the periods of June 1999~August 2000. The average concentration values for the whole study period derived from hourly concentration data sets of those three species indicated that the mean differences between the two methods can be approximated as 18%. When the bias structure of two systems was evaluated through the computation of percent difference(PD) between the two such as ( $C_{DOAS}$- $C_{conventional}$ $C_{DOAS}$*100, differences between the two systems appeared to be quite systematic among different compounds. While the mode of bias peaked at 0~20% or 20~40% in terms of PD values, the cause of such positive bias mainly arised from generally enhanced concentration values of DOAS system. The structure of bias among different species was further assessed through linear regression analysis. Results of the analysis indicated that the dominant portions of differences observed from two monitoring systems can be accounted for by the systematic differences in their spanning and zeroing systems. S $O_2$(MS2)=0.6385 S $O_2$(DOAS)+2.0985($r^2$=0.7894) N $O_2$(MS2)=0.6548 N $O_2$(DOAS)+7.437($r^2$=0.7687) $O_3$(MS2)=1.0359 $O_3$(DOAS)-7.7885($r^2$=0.7944) The findings of slope values at around 0.64~0.65 from two species suggest that DOAS should respond more sensitively in upper bound concentration range. The offset values apart from zero indicate that more deliberate comparison needs to be made between these monitoring systems. However, based on the existence of strong correlations from at least 8,000 data points for each species of comparison, we were able to conclude that the compatibility of two monitoring systems is highly significant. With the improvement of calibration techniques for the DOAS system. its applicability for routine monitoring of airborne pollutant species is expected to be quite extendable.

  • The stimulatory effect of EGF and FSH on oocyte maturation have been reported in various mammalian species. And some reports presented FSH enhanced the effect of EGF on oocyte maturation. But, the interaction between EGF and FSH on nuclear maturation of mammalian oocytes is not fully understood. We observed the effect of EGF and FSH on nuclear maturation during in vitro maturation of mouse oocytes. Also, we examined the interaction between EGF and FSH on nuclear maturation of mouse oocytes using the EGFR inhibitor or FSH inhibitor. Germinal vesicle (GV) stage oocytes were obtained from 3-4weeks PMSG primed BCFI hybrid mice and cultured in TCM-199 medium with 0.4%PVP supplemented with/without EGF (1ng/ml), FSH (1ug/ml), EGFR specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors: Tyrphostin AG 1478 (500nM), MAP kinase kinase inhibitor : U0126 (20uM) or PD 98059 (100uM) for 14-l5hr. Rapid staining method were used for the assessment of nuclear maturation. Nuclear maturation rates of EGF indjor FSH-treated group were significantly higher than those of control group. Treatment of EGFR inhibitor significantly block the nuclear maturation of GV oocyte in EGF-treated group, but it did not block those of GV oocyte in FSH-treated or FSH and EGF-treated group. Treatment of FSH inhibitor(U0126, PD98059) significantly block the nuclear maturation of EGF-treated group, FSH-treated and FSH and EGF-treated group. These results show that EGF has a stimulatory effect as well as different action pathway with FSH on in-vitro maturation of mouse oocyte in vitro. Therefore, further studies will be needed to find the signaling pathway of EGF associated with nuclear maturation.

  • 최근 화학, 물리, 생명과학, 전기, 전자등의 다양한 분야에 활발하게 연구가 이루어지고 있는 초분자 화학은 선택적 분자인지를 위한 효율적인 골격구조와 나아가 다양한 계에 응용할 수 있다. 초분자 화학의 분자인지 과정의 특징은 일반적으로 수용체 (receptor 혹은 host)가 목표가 되는 기질 (substrate, analyte, 혹은 guest)에 대하여 선택적으로 식별하고 반응하는 것이다. 비공유 결합성 상호작용에 의하여 이루어지는 초분자 화학의 분자 인지 과정의 특징은 일반적으로 수용체 (receptor 혹은 host)가 목표가 되는 기질 (substrate, analyte, 혹은 guest)에 대하여 선택적으로 식별하고 반응하는 것이다. 이는 공유결합을 이용하는 분자화학과는 차별화 된 것이다. 수용체는 간단한 구조의 화합물 및 금속 이온들과 같은 기질과 가역적으로 상호 작용할 수 있는 착물을 형성한다. 최근들어 급격한 산업화가 진행되어 환경문제가 심각하게 대두 되어져 왔고, 그 중에서 특히 수은이나 카드뮴에 의한 질병, 납에 의한 중독 등 중금속에 의한 오염이 크게 나타남에도 불구하고, 현재 그러한 중금속을 검출함에 있어 많은 비용과 시간이 드는 문제점이 있다. 또한 우리에게 이로운 금속은 효율적 분석을 통해 환경계와 의료계에 많은 도움을 줄 것으로 사례되므로 화학센서 기술의 개발은 절실히 요구되어지고 있다. 이에 새로운 1,3-bisdicyanovinylindane 을 통해 $Hg^{2+}$ 금속의 감지 여부 알아보고, 그 특성을 파악하고자 한다. 1,3-indandion (2.18g, 14.9mmol), malononitrile (2.95g, 44.7mmol), ethanol 50ml를 20분간 상온에서 용해시킨다. 후에 sodium trihydrate acetate(3.05g)을 첨가한 후 5시간 동안 환류반응 시킨다. 이 과정에서 얻어진 용액을 필터과정을 통하여 에서 합성 반응 중에 생성된 불순물(1,3-dicyanovinylindane-1-one, monocondensation)을 제거한다. 필터과정을 통해 걸러진 미 반응 물질을 제�G 용반응욕액을 증류수(100ml)를 이용하여 희석시키고 난 후 염산을 이용, 산성화 시켜 고체 생성물을 얻어낸다. 이렇게 생성된 고체 생성물은 다시 필터 및 건조를 통하여 회색의 고체 화합물을 얻어낸다. 1,3-bisdicyanovinylindane과 금속이온에 대한 감응도를 확인하기 위하여 metanol/water(1:2)을 용매로 하여 금속이온의 농도를 변화시켜 발색특성을 살펴보았다. 본 색소화합물과 Hg2+에 대한 UV 흡광도 변화 적정결과와 그 화합물의 상태 살펴본 결과 금속이온이 0.2ml씩 더 참가되면서 색의 변화를 뚜렷하게 나타내었다. 반면 그 밖에 이온($Fe^{3+}$, $Ag^{2+}$, $Pd^{2+}$, $Zn^2$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Pb^{2+}$)은 UV 흡광도 변화가 적거나 변화 자체가 없었다. 하지만 과량의 $Fe^{3+}$, $Ag^{2+}$, $Pd^{2+}$는 색상 변화를 나타내었으며,이와 같은 흡광도 변화는 금속에 따라 약간의 차이가 있지만, 420nm를 등흡수점으로 하여, 580nm의 파장 영역에 있는 흡수 밴드의 세기는 감소하는 반면 400nm 파장 영역에 있는 흡수 밴드의 세기가 증가하였다. 1,3-bisdicyanovinylindane 화합물은 다양한 생물계 및 환경계에서 요구되는 micro mol에서 milli mol 농도 영역의 $Hg^{2+}$ 이온의 선택적이고 민감한 검출과 정량적인 분석에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • A method was developed for the determination of trace elements in seawater by precipitate flotation preconcentration and subsequent flame atomic absorption detection. In order to quantitatively coprecipitate trace ions such as Cd(II), CuI(II), Fe(III), Mn(II), Pb(II) and Pd(II), 2.0 ml of 1.0M cerium(III) solution was added to 1.0l of seawater and the pH was adjusted to 9.5 with 5.0 M sodium hydroxide solution while stirring with a magnetic stirrer. The precipitate was floated with the aid of surfactant solution (1.0 ml of 0.3% sodium oleate) by bubbling nitrogen gas through a porous (No. 4) fritted glass disk. The floats was collected in a small Erlenmeyer flask by suction. The washed precipitate was dissolved in 8.0 M nitric acid and marked with deionized water in the volumetric flask of 10.0 ml. The analyte was determined by measuring the atomic absorbances in 100-fold concentrated solution. Above all analytes in Kangnung (East Sea) and Kanghwado (West Sea) sea waters were found to be under the detection limit of this method. The recoveries of over 92% for all analytes spiked into seawater samples showed that this method was applicable to the analysis of real seawater.

  • Purpose: Recently, the use of radiosurgery as a local therapy in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer has become favored over surgical resection. To evaluate the efficacy of radiosurgery, we analyzed the results of stereotactic body radiosurgery in patients with primary or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Materials and Methods: We reviewed medical records retrospectively of total 24 patients (28 lesions) with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received stereotactic body radiosurgery (SBRT) at Inha University Hospital. Among the 24 patients, 19 had primary NSCLC and five exhibited recurrent disease, with three at previously treated areas. Four patients with primary NSCLC received SBRT after conventional radiation therapy as a boost treatment. The initial stages were IA in 7, IB in 3, IIA in 2, IIB in 2, IIIA in 3, IIIB in 1, and IV in 6. The T stages at SBRT were T1 lesion in 13, T2 lesion in 12, and T3 lesion in 3. 6MV X-ray treatment was used for SBRT, and the prescribed dose was 15~60 Gy (median: 50 Gy) for PTV1 in 3~5 fractions. Median follow up time was 469 days. Results: The median GTV was 22.9 mL (range, 0.7 to 108.7 mL) and median PTV1 was 65.4 mL (range, 5.3 to 184.8 mL). The response rate at 3 months was complete response (CR) in 14 lesions, partial response (PR) in 11 lesions, and stable disease (SD) in 3 lesions, whereas the response rate at the time of the last follow up was CR in 13 lesions, PR in 9 lesions, SD in 2 lesions, and progressive disease (PD) in 4 lesions. Of the 10 patients in stage 1, one patient died due to pneumonia, and local failure was identified in one patient. Of the 10 patients in stages III-IV, three patients died, local and loco-regional failure was identified in one patient, and regional failure in 2 patients. Total local control rate was 85.8% (4/28). Local recurrence was recorded in three out of the eight lesions that received below biologically equivalent dose 100 $Gy_{10}$. Among 20 lesions that received above 100 $Gy_{10}$, only one lesion failed locally. There was a higher recurrence rate in patients with centrally located tumors and T2 or above staged tumors. Conclusion: SBRT using a CyberKnife was proven to be an effective treatment modality for early stage patients with NSCLC based on high local control rate without severe complications. SBRT above total 100 $Gy_{10}$ for peripheral T1 stage patients with NSCLC is recommended.

  • Purpose : We performed this study to investigate the outcome of surfactant replacement therapy (SRT) in above nearterm neonates who were required mechanical ventilatory care due to meconium aspiration pneumonia (MAP), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) or other severe pneumonia (PN). Methods : 48 patients, gestational period ${\geq}36weeks$, who were admitted in NICU of Dongsan Medical Center, Keimyung University between July 1999 and June 2004 were enrolled. They were divided into three groups, MAP group (15 cases), RDS group (27 cases) and PN group (6 cases). All patients were received SRT and evaluated several clinical data (gestational age, oxygen index, duration of ventilator care) and outcome (complications and mortality rate) between pre-SRT and post-SRT. The mean dose of surfactant (modified bovine surfactant, Newfacten, Yuhan Co., Seoul, Korea) was 120 mg/kg. Results : Among each groups, mean pre-SRT OI was higher in MAP group ($21{\pm}3.2$) than other groups, mean duration (days) of ventilatory care and oxygen therapy were similar distributions. Compared with pre-SRT values, significant improvements (P<0.05) in mean values for FiO2 and oxygenation index were documented at 12 hours after SRT. Early complications (persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborm, pneumothorax) and survival rate were lower in MAP group. Within RDS group, earlier SRT (given before 12 hours of life) revealed significantly lower early complication rate than later SRT (given after 12 hours of life) (13.3% vs 58.3%, P<0.05) Conclusion : Our study suggested that SRT seems to be an effective therapy in above nearterm neonates with severe pulmonary disease, and earlier SRT tends to reduce complications in RDS group than later therapy.
