  • 배 경 : peroxiredoxins는 거의 모든 생명체에 공통적으로 보존되어 있으며, 최근에 발견된, 특이한 peroxidases로 인체에서 6가지 동위효소가 알려져 있으며, 산화스트레스에 대한 방어역할을 담당하고, $H_2O_2$신호전달 과정에서 중요한 조절 역할을 한다. peroxiredoxin은 $H_2O_2$ 처리 과정 중에서 자신이 산화되어 불활성화 되는데, 산화된 후 다시 재생되는 것으로 보고되나 그 생리적은 의미는 분명하지 않다. 이에 저자들을 폐상 피세포주, 대식세포주, 폐포모세혈관 내피세포주 및 기타 섬유모세포주 들에서 $H_2O_2$ 에 의한 Prx의 산화과정과 재생을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 수술 환자에서 적출한 정상 폐조직과, 세포주로는 평상시 산화 스트레스에 노출이 많을 것으로 예상되는 세포들로써, 폐포상피세포의 I 형 및 II 형 세포에서 기원한 A549, WI 26, Raw 264.7, Rat2,및 폐포 모세혈관 내피세포주 등을 이용하여 이를 $50{\mu}M$. $100{\mu}M$, $500{\mu}M$$H_2O_2$로 산화시켜 불활성화 한 후, 추적관찰 하였으며, 시간대 별로(0. 10, 30, 60, 120, 240, 480 분) 수확하여, 이를 1차원 non-reducing SDS-PAGE 및 2차원 전기영동로 분리 후, silver stain 과 Western blot으로 분석 하였다. 결 과 : 1. 실험에 사용된 모든 세포주에서, $H_2O_2$ 농도에 비례하여 peroxiredoxin I, II, III 의 불활성화를 관찰할 수 있었고, 10분에 최고로 불활성화되었다. 2. 산화된 이후, 30분경부터 peroxiredoxin 의 재생이 관찰되기 시작 하였으며, 2시간 이후부터 확연하였다. 3. 다시 재생된 peroxiredoxin은 $H_2O_2$투여로서, 다시 불활성화되어, 재생된 Prx 가 활성을 지닌 단백질임을 알 수 있었다. 4. 재생의 속도는 사용된 세포주마다 차이가 있었으며 (A549 >Raw 264.7 >$Rat_2$ >WI26), 단백질 합성억제제인 cycloheximide ($10{\mu}g/ml$) 존재 하에서도 변함 없이 관찰되었다. 결 론 : 세포 내에는 산화되어 불활성화된 peroxiredoxin을 재생하는 체계가 존재 하며, 이는 활성부위 cysteine을 갖는 다른 단백질에도 공통적으로 적용될 수 있는 분자 스위치일 가능성이 높으며, 산화에 의한 신호전달과정이나, 질병 모델에서 Prx 단백의 재생 체계의 이상과 병인에 관한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of an eye health education program on the level of knowledge and eye health practice of middle school students. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted using a pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design. The study participants were from one middle school first graders in a province of Korea. The experimental group was composed of three classes (76 students), and the control group was composed of three other classes (77 students). Pretests were conducted in June for the experimental group and in August for the control group. The experimental group received an eye health education program developed for this study consisting of four sessions in total, given once a week for 45 minutes per session. The control group was instructed by the school's health teacher in the eye health education included in the existing health education curriculum. Posttests were conducted three weeks after the training in the control group and immediately after the fourth eye health education session in the experimental group. Results: After being instructed in the eye health education program, the eye health-related knowledge (t=9.45, p<.001) and eye health practice (t=2.18, p=.031) of the experimental group participating in the education program were higher than those of the control group. Conclusion: The eye health education program was effective in improving middle school student's level of eye health-related knowledge and eye health practice. School health teachers could implement this program as a part of the standard eye health education for middle school students. The long-term effects of practicing eye health behavior needs to be confirmed in a future study.

  • Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of improper positioning single-peak and multi-peak lights on color change, microhardness of bottom and top, and surface topography of bulk fill and incremental composites after artificial aging for 1 year. Materials and Methods: Bulk fill and incremental composites were cured using multi-peak and single-peak light-emitting diode (LED) following 4 clinical conditions: (1) optimal condition (no angulation or tip displacement), (2) tip-displacement (2 mm), (3) slight tip angulation (α = 20°) and (4) moderate tip angulation (α = 35°). After 1-year of water aging, the specimens were analyzed for color changes (ΔE), Vickers hardness, surface topography (Ra, Rt, and Rv), and scanning electron microscopy. Results: For samples cured by single-peak LED, the improper positioning significantly increases the color change compared to the optimal position regardless of the type of composite (p < 0.001). For multi-peak LED, the type of resin composite and the curing condition displayed a significant effect on ΔE (p < 0.001). For both LEDs, the Vickers hardness and bottom/top ratio of Vickers hardness were affected by the type of composite and the curing condition (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The bulk fill composite presented greater resistance to wear, higher color stability, and better microhardness than the incremental composite when subjected to improper curing. The multi-peak LED improves curing under improper conditions compared to single-peak LED. Prevention of errors when curing composites requires the attention of all personnel involved in the patient's care once the clinical relevance of the appropriate polymerization reflects on reliable long-term outcomes.

  • To test preschool children's medium- long distance stereoscopic vision normal average value, and intermittent strabismus children,s medium-long distance stereoscopic vision acuteness is the goal of this study. The software of random stereoscopic vision and graph, which is developed by Hu-Chong etc has been used, to test 414 cases normal preschool children and 19 cases intermittent exotropia childrens medium-long distance (1-5 m) stereoscopic vision (before operation and after operation). The normal average value of preschool children's medium-long distance stereoscopic vision was achieved. Intermittent exotropia children's stereoscopic vision acuteness was declined with the increase of distance. This method can provide reference as screening abnormal stereoscopic vision during scientific research and clinical work.

  • For at least 14 years after the publication of minimum permissible exposure limits that would largely eradicate industrial deafness, statute legislation in Queensland remained unchanged and ineffective. Industrial deafness continued to occur. New legislation, introduced in 1989 and amended in 1993, and based on a duty of care responsibility incumbent on all, may remedy this situation. The new legislation is examined and comments are made about the values inherent in the new approach. It is concluded that public policy strategists may increase the likelihood of success of they ensure that the duty of care provisions (together with the general provisions of the Act) are backed up by innovative complementary economic, financial and marketing incentives.

  • Although recent advances in molecular targeted therapy and immuno-oncology have revolutionized the landscape of lung cancer therapeutics, cytotoxic chemotherapy remains an essential component of lung cancer treatment. Extensive evidence has demonstrated the clinical benefit of chemotherapy, either alone or in combination with other treatment modalities, on survival and quality of life of patients with early and advanced lung cancer. Combinational approaches with other classes of anti-neoplastic agents and new drug-delivery systems have revealed promising data and are areas of active investigation. Chemotherapy is recommended as a standard of care in patients that have progressed after tyrosine kinase inhibitors or immune checkpoint inhibitors. Chemotherapy remains the fundamental means of lung cancer management and keeps expanding its clinical implication. This review will discuss the current position and future role of chemotherapy, and specific consideration for its clinical application in the era of precision medicine.

  • Purpose: This study was designed to explore adolescents' experience with yoga class in South Korea. Methods: Qualitative data were collected by focus group interviews from February to March 2014. Eleven adolescents who experienced yoga class were recruited from two different schools. The interview questions investigated adolescents' experience with yoga regarding expectations before yoga class, positive changes after yoga, and advice for future yoga classes. Results: Three primary themes from the qualitative content analysis include 1) motivation to join a yoga class, 2) perceived benefits after class and 3) suggestions for school-based yoga. We found that high school students had intrinsic and extrinsic motivations to join yoga classes, and the perceived benefits included physical, psychological, cognitive and social aspects. The students also indicated the need for support by person, yoga with fun and information, yoga tailored by individual goal, simple and easy class. Conclusion: These results suggest that yoga could be an appropriate intervention for holistic health care, and school-based yoga should be applied by focusing on the various situational needs of adolescents'. Furthermore, when yoga leads to healthy habits compared to just simple exercise, a balanced development of adolescents can be achieved.

  • Bisphosphonates are compounds widely used in the treatment of various metabolic and malignant bone disease. Recently, an association between bisphosphonate use and a rare dental condition termed 'osteonecrosis of the jaw(ONJ)' has been reported. Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw(BRONJ) is rare, but serious, side effect of bisphosphonate therapy in affected patients. It is characterized by poor wound healing and spontaneous intra-oral soft tissue break down, which lead to exposure of necrotic maxillary and mandibular bone. We reviewed 11 patients of BRONJ visited Ajou University Hospital Dental clinic from May 2007 to November 2008. The management of the patients included cessation of bisphosphonate therapy and various surgical restorative procedures and conservative care there after. Aggressive debridement is contraindicated. A new complication of bisphosphonate therapy administration, osteonecrosis of jaws, seems to be developing. The improved results after cessation of the medication should make clinicians reconsider the merits of the rampant use of bisphosphonates, while further investigation is needed to completely elucidate this complication.

  • There are few reported cases of post-operative spondylitis caused by $Mycobacterium$ $Intracellulare$. A 75-year-old female presented to our hospital with low back pain and paraparesis after a fall. The radiologic examination revealed compression fractures of L1, L3 and L4 and an epidural hematoma compressing the spinal cord. The dark-red epidural hematoma was urgently evacuated. Four weeks post-operatively, neurologic deficits recurred with fever. On magnetic resonance image, an epidural abscess and osteomyelitis were detected in the previous operative site. Five weeks post-operatively, revision was performed with multiple biopsies. The specimen were positive for acid-fast bacilli and traditional anti-tuberculous medications were started. Because the Polymerase Chain Reaction for non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) was positive, the anti-tuberculous medications were changed to anti-NTM drugs. However, the neurologic deficits did not improve and persistent elevation of erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein were noted. Eight weeks after the revision, $Mycobacterium$ $Intracellulare$ was detected in the specimen cultures. Despite supportive care with medication, the patient died due to multiple organ failure.
