Background and objective: Cervicitis are an inflammatory condition of the cervix. This may be acute, chronic, active & specific or non-specific, which may cause various sign & symptoms. Abnormal vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, lower backache, post coital bleeding. If not treated timely it causes various complications viz PID, infertility, endometritis, ectopic pregnancy etc. Hence it has been decided to conduct a clinical trial for its management. Method: This study was an open observational study. The entire patients were allocated by considering the criteria of inclusion & exclusion. Marhame dakhilyun with roghane sausan is given 10 mg as ḥamūl at bed time, after menses for 21 days. All the patients were assessed by primary outcome of abnormal vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, lower backache, post coital bleeding & secondary outcomes of vaginal symptoms scale score (VSS) which score the vaginal discharge with QOL in cervicitis patients and vaginal analogue scale (VAS) for pain. Result: In this present study, marked improvement is observed in cervicitis. The mean ± SD of vaginal discharge before & after treatment is 2.57±0.050, 0.33±0.48 respectively which is highly significant with p value of<0.0001^**. VSS score before & after treatment is 21.27±6.12, 7.47±2.48 respectively with p<0.0001^** which is highly significant. VAS score used for LAB & LPA before & after treatment is 6.63±1.09, 1.90±1.29 respectively with p<0.0001^** which is highly significant. Interpretation & Conclusion: The study revealed that the formulation has been found effective in healing congestion, hypertrophied of the cervix and discharge and relieving the others associated symptoms of cervicitis. It is useful and provided immediate and effective treatment for cervicitis. Hence, the trial drug can be recommended for its management.

Objectives: Previously, we sought to compile a list of genes expressed during early folliculogenesis by using cDNA microarray to investigate follicular gene expression and changes during primordialprimary follicle transition and development of secondary follicles (Yoon et al., 2005). Among those genes, a group of genes related to the cell size growth was characterized during the ovarian development in the present study. Methods: We determined ovarian expression pattern of six genes related to the cell size growth (cyr61, emp1, fhl1, socs2, wig1 and wisp1) and extended into CCN family (${\underline{c}}onnective$ tissue growth factor/${\underline{c}}ysteine$-rich 61/${\underline{n}}ephroblastoma$-overexpressed), ctgf, nov, wisp2, wisp3, including cyr61 and wisp1 genes. Expression of mRNA and protein according to the ovarian developmental stage was evaluated by in situ hybridization, and/or semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Results: Among 6 genes related to the cell size growth, cyr61 and wisp1 mRNA was detected only in oocytes in the postnatal day5 mouse ovaries. cyr61 mRNA expression was limited to the nucleolus of oocytes, while wisp1 was expressed in the cytoplasm and nucleolus of oocytes, except nucleus. cyr61 mRNA expression, however, was found in granulosa cells from secondary follicles. The rest 4 genes in the cell size growth group were detected in oocytes, granulosa and theca cells. Cyr61 and Wisp1 proteins were expressed in the oocyte cytoplasm from primordial follicle stage. Especially, Cyr61 protein was detected in pre-granulosa cells, Wisp1 protein was not. By using RT-PCR, we evaluated and decided that Cyr61 protein is produced by their own mRNA in pre-granulosa cells that was not detected by in situ hybridization. cyr61 and wisp1 genes are happen to be the CCN family members. The other members of CCN family were also studied, but their expression was detected in oocytes, granulose and theca cells. Conclusions: We firstly characterized the ovarian expression of genes related to the cell size growth and CCN family according to the early folliculogenesis. Cyr61 protein expression in the pre-granulosa cells is profound in meaning. Further functional analysis for cyr61 in early folliculogenesis is under investigation.

목 적 : 최근 시행되고 있는 가임기 여성의 유방암 토모치료 시 치료영역 외에서 발생되는 산란 및 누설에 의한 난소산란선량을 측정하여 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 인체모형팬텀(Aldorson Rando phantom, USA)을 대상으로 전산화단층영상 2.5 mm 획득 후, Tomotherapy Planning station(Tomotherapy, Inc, USA)을 이용하여 좌측 유방암 환자의 토모테라피 치료계획(Tomotherapy Helical & Tomotherapy Direct)을 수립하였다. 난소의 산량 선량 측정을 위한 측정 지점은 치료계획면적의 30 cm 아래 떨어진 골반의 좌우 위치로 직경 1.5 mm, 길이가 12mm인 저에너지용 보상필터가 들어있는 종류의 유리선량계 (GD-352M, ASAHI TECHNO GLASS CO, Japan)를 이용하여 각 5회씩 측정하여 평균하였으며, 선형지수-선량반응모델을 이용한 장기등가선량(organ equivalent dose: OED)으로 평가하였다. 결 과 : 토모 Helical 및 토모 Direct의 두 가지 방식으로 측정된 난소의 산란선량은 좌측 난소부위가 각각 평균 $64.94{\pm}0.84mGy$, $37.64{\pm}1.20mGy$이고, 우측 난소부위가 평균 $64.38{\pm}1.85mGy$, $32.96{\pm}1.11mGy$로 나타났다. 이는 토모치료 시 비교적 모니터 단위(MU)가 크고 조사 시간이 긴 토모Helical 방식이 토모Direct에 비하여 측정된 산란선량의 양이 보다 약 1.8배 높은 경향을 보였다. 결 론 : 가임기 여성의 유방암 토모테라피 시 발생하는 좌우측 난소의 산량선량은 ICRP 권고 선량이하로, 불임 및 2차 암 발생에 대한 우려 수준은 현저히 낮지만 향후 유방암 발생 연령층이 낮아지고, 토모테라피와 같이 고정밀 영상유도장치를 이용한 방사선치료가 발달할수록, 가임기 여성 환자의 난소산란선량에 대한 임상적 추적조사가 더욱 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
