  • 완숙복분자의 이화학적 특성, 용매분획별 추출물의 항산화활성 및 돈육의 산화억제효과에 대하여 조사하였다. 복분자의 수분, 조단백, 조지방, 조섬유, 조회분, 탄수화물, 산도, pH 및 무기성분 등의 특성을 분석하였다. 총 폴리페놀 및 총 플라보노이드 함량은 ethyl acetate 추출물, butanol 추출물 그리고 ethanol 추출물 순으로 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 각 추출물의 DPPH free radical 소거활성을 농도별로 측정한 결과, ethanol 추출물 $2,000\;{\mg}/mL$와 butanol 추출물 $1,500\;{\mg}/mL$ 농도에서 89.93%와 89.68%의 높은 항산화능을 보였다. 또한 ABTS 양이온 소거활성을 측정한 결과 hexane 추출물을 제외한 모든 추출물 $1,000{\sim}2,000\;{\mg}/mL$에서 90% 이상의 높은 소거활성을 나타내었다. TBARS 방법으로 돈육의 항산화효과를 측정한 결과 ethyl acetate와 ethanol 추출물 공히 TBARS 값이 0.37 MDAmg/kg으로 ascorbic acid 0.39 MDAmg/kg보다 항산화효과가 높게 나타났다. 따라서 복분자 ethyl acetate와 ethanol 추출물은 ascorbic acid보다 산화억제효과가 뛰어난 것으로 생각된다.

  • 본 연구에서는 페피노(Solanum muricatum Ait.) 과실추출액이 흰쥐의 알코올 대사에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 페피노 추출액이 알코올 투여 쥐의 혈 중 알코올과 아세트알데히드 농도, GOT와 GPT에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보았다. 페피노 추출액($11.4^{\circ}$ Brix) 투여 시, 혈 중 알코올농도는 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 31.5% 감소하였으며 혈 중 아세트알데히드 농도는 유의적 차이는 없었다. 페피노 추출액을 농도별로 알코올 투여 30분 전에 투여 시, 혈 중 알코올 농도는 $1^{\circ}$ Brix 페피노 추출액 투여군이 대조군보다 56.4% 유의적으로 낮았으며, 혈 중 아세트알데히드 농도는 유의적 차이는 없었다. 혈중 알코올 농도 감소효과는 페피노 추출액 농도가 $1^{\circ}$ Brix일 때 가장 좋았다. $1^{\circ}$ Brix 페피노 추출액을 투여하여 시간 경과에 따른 혈 중 알코올 농도는 알코올 투여 1, 3, 5시간 후 대조군보다 유의적으로 각각 19.9%, 45.4%, 60.7% 감소하였다. 혈 중 아세트알데히드 농도는 알코올 투여 5시간 후, 대조군보다 약 19% 낮게 나타났다. GOT, GPT 활성은 모두 정상범위에 속해 알코올의 1회 투여로는 간 손상을 일으키지 않았다. 페피노 추출액은 알코올을 투여한 흰쥐의 혈중 알코올을 낮추어 흰쥐의 알코올 대사에 긍정적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.

  • Objectives:EEG coherence could imply the connectivity between two different areas of the brain, which is known to be important in the pathophysiology of bipolar I disorder(BPD I) and schizophrenia. The authors investigated EEG coherence in patients with BPD I and schizophrenia to examine the connectivity of the neural circuit. Methods:EEGs were recorded in 15 schizophrenia and 14 bipolar disorder patients, and 14 age-matched normal control subjects from 16 electrodes with linked-ear reference. Spectral parameters and coherence were calculated for the alpha bandwidth(8-13Hz) by a multi-channel autoregressive model using 20 artifact-free 2-seconds epochs and the differences were compared among three groups by two different statistical methods;F-test and Kruskal-Wallis test. Furthermore, when there were significant differences among three groups, Scheffe's multiple comparison tests were provided and Jonckheere-Terpstra tests for the ordered alternative were given. Results:In the intra-hemispheric comparison, left frontal coherence was increased in order of control, BPD I and schizophrenia. In the inter-hemispheric comparison, 1) inter-prefrontal coherence in BPD I was signifi- cantly higher than in normal controls, and 2) inter-prefrontal coherence in schizophrenia was significantly lower than in controls. Conclusion:These results suggest that 1) both schizophrenia and BPD I are diseases having the abnormality of neural circuit connectivity in both frontal and prefrontal lobes, and 2) the abnormality is more severe in schizophrenia than in BPD I. Furthermore, the data support that a common pathogenetic process may reside in both schizophrenia and BPD I.

  • In order to develop new physiologically active polysaccharides from persimmon leaves, two different crude polysaccharides were prepared using hot water (PLW-0) and pectinase digestion (PLE-0) and their immuno-stimulating activities were estimated. PLW-0 and PLE-0 showed similar sugar compositions with 15 different sugars, including rarely observed sugars in general polysaccharides such as 2-O-methyl-fucose, 2-O-methyl-xylose, apiose, aceric acid, 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid, and 3-deoxy-D-lyxo-2-heptulosaric acid, but the uronic acid content of PLE-0 was lower than that of PLW-0 caused by pectinase treatment. Both PLW-0 and PLE-0 showed potent anti-complementary activity in a dose-dependent manner which was similar to a known immuno-stimulating polysaccharide, PSK, from Coriolus versicolor. The activity of PLE-0 at a low concentration ($100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) was higher than that of PLW-0. In an in vitro cytotoxicity analysis, PLW-0 and PLE-0 (up to $1,000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) did not affect the growth of peritoneal macrophages and Colon 26-M3.1 carcinoma cells. In contrast, they enhanced lymphocyte proliferation activity. Peritoneal macrophages stimulated with PLW-0 and PLE-0 produced various cytokines, such as IL-6 and IL-12. However, PLE-0 was more effective on the cytokine production. Intravenous administration of PLW-0 and PLE-0 significantly augmented natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity against Yac-1 tumor cells 3 days after the treatment of polysaccharide fractions. But NK cells obtained from the PLE-treated group showed higher tumoricidal activity even at a low dose of $40{\mu}g$/mouse. In experimental lung metastasis of Colon 26-M3.1 carcinoma cells, prophylactic administration of PLW-0 and PLE-0 significantly inhibited lung metastasis in a dose-dependent manner and PLE-0 was more effective on the inhibition of cancer metasasis. The results lead us to conclude that the pectinase-treated process is indispensable to preparing polysaccharides with higher immune-stimulating activity from persimmon leaves.

  • In order to determine the effect of various hosts on feeding performance of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, we used 3 mammalian species as hosts, cattle (Qinchuan), sheep (Tan), and rabbits (Japanese white rabbit) for infesting ticks. Five hundreds of R. microplus larvae were exposed to each animal (3 animals/host species). Tick recoveries were 11.0%, 0.47%, and 5.5% from cattle, sheep, and rabbits, respectively. The averages of tick feeding periods were not significantly different on cattle, sheep, and rabbits, 28.8, 25.3, and 26.7 days, respectively. The average weights of individual engorged female from cattle, sheep, and rabbits were 312.5, 219.1, and 130.2 mg, respectively and those of egg mass weights each to 85.0, 96.6, and 17.8 mg. The highest egg hatching rate was in the ticks from cattle (96.0%), followed by those from rabbits (83.0%) and sheep (19.2%). These data suggest that rabbits could be as an alternative host to cultivate R. microplus for evaluating vaccines and chemical and biological medicines against the tick in the laboratory, although the biological parameters of ticks were less than those from cattle.

  • Purpose: Accurate localization of the lumpectomy cavity during accelerated partial breast radiation (APBR) is essential for daily setup to ensure the prescribed dose encompasses the target and avoids unnecessary irradiation to surrounding normal tissues. Three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-US) allows direct visualization of the lumpectomy cavity without additional radiation exposure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of 3D-US in daily target localization for APBR. Materials and methods: Forty-seven patients with stage I breast cancer who underwent breast conserving surgery were treated with a 2-week course of APBR. Patients with visible lumpectomy cavities on high quality 3D-US images were included in this analysis. Prior to each treatment, X-ray and 3D-US images were acquired and compared to images from simulation to confirm accurate position and determine shifts. Volume change of the lumpectomy cavity was determined daily with 3D-US. Results: A total of 118 images of each modality from 12 eligible patients were analyzed. The average change in cavity volume was 7.8% (range, -24.1% to 14.4%) on 3D-US from simulation to the end-of-treatment. Based on 3D-US, significantly larger shifts were necessary compared to portal films in all three dimensions: anterior/posterior (p = 7E-11), left/right (p = 0.002), and superior/inferior (p = 0.004). Conclusion: Given that the lumpectomy cavity is not directly visible via X-ray images, accurate positioning may not be fully achieved by X-ray images. Therefore, when the lumpectomy cavity is visible on US, 3D-US can be considered as an alternative to X-ray imaging during daily positioning for selected patients treated with APBR, thus avoiding additional exposure to ionizing radiation.

  • 이 연구는 뇌졸중 환자를 대상으로 한국판 수정바델지수(Korean Version of Modified Barthel Index: K-MBI)의 타당도, 신뢰도와 문항변별도를 알아보기 위해 실시되었다. 223명의 뇌졸중 환자를 대상으로 K-MBI를 사용하여 일상생활활동을 측정하였다. 타당도를 알아보기 위해 요인분석을 실시하였고, 문항내적 합치도, 문항변별도를 알아보았다. 요인분석 결과, K-MBI의 10개 항목의 공통성은 .50이상으로 나타났으며, 하나의 요인에 적재되는 것으로 나타났다. 설명량은 72.184%이었다. 요인적재량은 용변처리, 개인위생, 의자/침대 이동, 보행/의자차, 옷 입기, 식사하기, 대변조절, 목욕하기, 소변조절, 계단 오르기 순으로 나타났다. K-MBI의 Cronbach ${\alpha}$ 값은 .944로 나타났으며, 각 항목의 문항변별도는 .783~.909로 만족할 만한 수준이었다. 요인분석을 통해 K-MBI의 일상생활활동이라는 하나의 구성요인을 확인하였으며, 신뢰도와 문항변별도를 확인하였다. 뇌졸중 환자의 일상생활활동의 타당한 평가를 위해, 앞으로의 연구에서는 K-MBI의 다양한 심리측정학적 특성을 알아보는 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

  • To examine the double-faced thymoleptic(antidepressant and antimanic) effects of risperidone in mood disorders, this article reviews the psychotropic-induced mania, thymoleptic effects of antipsychotics, therapeutic effects of risperidone and risperidone(RIS)-induced mania(RIM) in mood disorders, risk factors of RIM, possible neurochemical mechanism of these thymoleptic effects, pathophysiological and clinical significance of thymoleptic effects, and suggestive clinical guideline of RIS in mood disorders. RIS appeared effective for bipolar disorder at a lower dose than that recommended for schizophrenia, especially in the cases of maintenance of mood stabilizers, and gradual titration from low doses. Manic induction/exacerbation can occur by chance during RIS treatment in mood disorders, schizoaffective disorders, and schizophrenias. The possible risk factors for RIM are refractory mood disorder, especially in bipolar I disorder with poor initial response ; refractory schizoaffective disorders, especially in bipolar type with poor initial response ; refractory chronic schizophrenias, especially with initial responses ; psychotic features ; higher initial doses ; rapid titration ; combined therapy with antidepressants in refractory depression ; and RIS monotherapy in mania/hypomania. RIS is a drug that preferentially block 5-HT2 receptors. The effects of low dose are due mainly to the blockade of 5-HT2 receptors. There are more gradual increase in D2 blockade with increasing dose and this D2 blocking properties become apparent at higher doses. This may be related to a modulation of dopaminergic transmission by 5-HT2 antagonism at lower doses with the direct action of RIS on DA receptors coming into play at higher dose. The serotonergic antagonistic effect may be important for its effects on depressive symptoms. This, together with adequate blo-ckade of D2 receptors, may not necessarily lead to destabilization of mood disorder, but rather to more therapeutic effects. Therefore, this dose-receptor affinity relationship with both antidepressant and antimanic effects according to treatment duration can explain a continuum of antidepressant effect, antimanic effect, behavioral stimulation, and manic/hypomanic induction/exacerbation. It was the recognition of a useful psychiatric side effects by a thoughtful observer with fertile minds that led to their ultimate utilization as psychotropic drugs, i.e., phenothiazine, MAOI, TCA, and lithium. And, in vivo pharmacological challenge by novel psychotropics, as a neurochemical probe, with more specific actions is a useful tool to select pharmacologically homogeneous subgroup of the same phenotypical(clinical) condition, to further study the unknown underlying pathogenesis of various mental illnesses. Finally, RIS may be a useful alternative or adjunctive drug for patients with mood disorders without psychotic features or refractory to treatment with standard antipsychotic drugs. The more conservative doses(tirated slowly from 1-3 mg/d) of RIS, and maintenance of mood stabilizer in the cases with risk factors of RIM are recommended in mood disorder.
