  • Morphine is a potent analgesic with significant abuse potential, because of drug craving and psychological dependence. It is reported that repeated treatment of morphine can produce conditioned place preference (CPP) showing a reinforcing effect in mice. Previously, we have reported the inhibitory effect of the methanolic extract of Coptis japonica (MCJ) on morphine-induced CPP in mice. The present study was employed whether p-CREB expression is involved in the inhibitory effect of MCJ on the morphine-induced CPP in the mouse hippocampus. Repeated administration of MCJ 100 mg/kg inhibited morphine-induced CPP. Expression of p-CREB was increased in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus that had undergone morphineinduced CPP. This increase of expression was significantly inhibited by administration of MCJ 100 mg/kg, compared to the morphine control group. Taken together, these results suggest that MCJ inhibits morphine-induced CPP through the regulation of p-CREB expression in the mouse dentate gyrus of the hippocampus.

  • 직무만족 행동은 동일한 환경조건하에서도 개인적 특성이나 성격, 인지구조에 따라서 반응이 다르게 나타난다. 이것은 개인의 심리적 차이와 관련된 문제이며, 직무만족이 주관적인 개념임을 의미한다. 이 연구는 대학도서관 사서들의 심리적 개인차 특히, 인지양식을 분석하여 보고 이것이 직무만족도에 어떠한 차이와 영향을 미치고 있는지 그 관계를 밝히는 데 목적이 있다. 데이터는 부산시내 소재하는 11개 4년제 대학도서관 사서 160명을 대상으로 조사 분석하였다. 연구의 결과, 전체적인 직무 만족도는 보통수준을 약간 상회하고 있으며 승진요인에서 가장 불만족한 것으로 나타났다. 인구적 특성에 따른 인지양식은 차이가 없으나, 직무만족도와는 유의한 차이를 나타내고 있다. 나이가 많을수록, 직위가 높을수록 만족도가 높았다. 인지양식은 직무만족도에 상당한 영향을 미치고 있다. 장독립적인 사서보다 장의존적인 사서의 만족도가 더 높은 것으로 나타났으며 매우 유의한 차이를 보이고 있다. 장독립적인 사서는 기술봉사업무에 적합하고 장의존적인 사서는 공공봉사업무에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 직무만족도의 개인차를 이해하는 데에는 개인의 인지양식에 따른 심리적 개인차를 고려하는 것이 매우 중요하다는 사실을 입증하였다.

  • Objectives Many studies have suggested different neurobiological findings and clinical courses in alcoholism. Recently, subtyping in alcohol dependence has become essential to overcome the heterogeneity of patients. Among several criteria of subtypes, Lesch's typology is proposed to integrate biological, social, and psychological factors. This review provides neurobiological findings and treatment-responses of alcohol dependence according to Lesch's typology. Method We searched the international published medical literature using the search terms 'Lesch's typology' and 'alcohol dependence' and using the limits 'human'. Results We identified 17 studies with subjects of alcohol dependence according to Lesch's typology. Conclusion They indicated that each subtype of Lesch's typology can have specific neurobiological factors and different clinical responses as follows. Lesch's subtype 1 is characterized by severe withdrawal symptoms and associated with elevated glutamate and homocysteine. Lesch's subtype 2 is defined by individuals who drink alcohol as self-medication for anxiety. Their craving has significant positive correlations with prolactin, leptin level, or intake-volume (vasopressin). Lesch's subtype 4 is related to cerebral dysfunction and associated with increased glutamate and left-handedness. Clinical trials showed that naltrexone was effective in Lesch's subtype 3 and 4 patients, while acamprosate was effective in the subtypes 1 and 2.

  • Limonene is a cyclic terpene found in citrus essential oils and inhibits methamphetamine- induced locomotor activity. Drug dependence is a severe neuropsychiatric condition that depends in part on changes in neurotransmission and neuroadaptation, induced by exposure to recreational drugs such as morphine and methamphetamine. In this study, we investigated the effects of limonene on the psychological dependence induced by drug abuse. The development of sensitization, dopamine receptor supersensitivity, and conditioned place preferences in rats was measured following administration of limonene (10 or 20 mg/kg) and methamphetamine (1 mg/kg) for 4 days. Limonene inhibits methamphetamine- induced sensitization to locomotor activity. Expression of dopamine receptor supersensitivity induced by apomorphine, a dopamine receptor agonist, was significantly reduced in limonenepretreated rats. However, there was no significant difference in methamphetamine-induced conditioned place preferences between the limonene and control groups. These results suggest that limonene may ameliorate drug addiction-related behaviors by regulating postsynaptic dopamine receptor supersensitivity.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors influencing nicotine dependence among male college students intending to quit smoking on the basis of the PRECEDE model. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of smokers, enrolled at the Smoking Cessation Support Center in W city in Korea was conducted between September 2015 and December 2016. Data was analyzed using the SPSS program for descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The mean score of nicotine dependence was determined to be 2.9. Tobacco craving (β =.34, p<.001), social smoking (β =-.23, p=.004), allowance (β =.22, p=.010) and age of smoking initiation (β =-.20, p=.022) were factors that predicted nicotine dependence of male college students. The final model explained 28.3% of the variation in nicotine dependence (adjusted R2=.28), and was significant (F=7.22, p<.001). Conclusions: We determined that to support smoking cessation, it is necessary to develop anti-smoking programs that consider the social and cultural factors of male college students as well as their personal psychological characteristics.
