  • Objective The aims of the present study were to explore the occurrence of childhood trauma and importantly to determine the impacts of childhood trauma on psychosocial features in a Chinese sample of young adults. Methods A survey was carried out in a group of 555 university students by using Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Dysfunctional Attitudes Questionnaire (DAS), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ), and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). The moderate-severe cut-off scores for CTQ were used to calculate the prevalence of childhood trauma, and then psychosocial features were compared between individuals with and without childhood trauma. Results A proportion of 18.6% of university students had self-reported childhood trauma exposures. Subjects with childhood trauma reported higher scores of SDS, SAS, DAS, and psychoticism and neuroticism dimensions of EPQ (t=4.311-5.551, p<0.001); while lower scores of SSRS and extraversion dimension of EPQ (t=-4.061- -3.039, p<0.01). Regression analyses further revealed that scores of SAS and DAS were positively (Adjusted B=0.211-0.230, p<0.05), while scores of SSRS were negatively (Adjusted B=-0.273- -0.240, p<0.05) associated with specific CTQ scores. Conclusion Childhood trauma is still a common social and psychological problem. Individuals with childhood trauma show much more depression, anxiety, distorted cognition, personality deficits, and lower levels of social support, which may represent the social and psychological vulnerability for developing psychiatric disorders after childhood trauma experiences.

  • Objectives: Gan Mai Da Zao (GMDZ) decoction is widely used for the treatment of various diseases of the internal organ and of the central nervous system. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of GMDZ decoction on neuropsychiatric disorders in an animal model. Methods: We searched seven databases for randomized animal studies published until April 2015: Pubmed, four Korean databases (DBpia, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System, Korean Studies Information Service System, and Research Information Sharing Service), and one Chinese database (China National Knowledge Infrastructure). The randomized animal studies were included if the effects of GMDZ decoction were tested on neuropsychiatric disorders. All articles were read in full and extracted predefined criteria by two independent reviewers. Results: From a total of 258 hits, six randomized controlled animal studies were included. Five studies used a Sprague Dawley rat model for acute psychological stress, post-traumatic stress disorders, and unpredictable mild stress depression whereas one study used a Kunming mouse model for prenatal depression. The results of the studies showed that GMDZ decoction improved the related outcomes. Conclusion: Regardless of the dose and concentration used, GMDZ decoction significantly improved neuropsychiatric disease-related outcomes in animal models. However, additional systematic and extensive studies should be conducted to establish a strong conclusion.

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of autogenic training on stress responses through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: A systematic search was conducted using eight core electronic databases (Embase, CENTRAL, Medline, CINAHL, PsycInfo, DBpia, KISS, and RISS). To estimate the effect size, a meta-analysis of the studies was performed using RevMan 5.3.5 program. Results: A total 21 studies out of 950 studies were included in the review, and 11 were included for meta-analysis. These studies showed that autogenic training decreased anxiety and depression, and increased the high frequency of heart rate variability. Calculations to understand the effect of autogenic training on anxiety, through a meta-analysis, observed a reduction effect of anxiety score by 1.37 points (n=85, SMD=-1.37: 95% CI -2.07 to -0.67), in the studies on short-term intervention targeting healthy adults. On the other hand, similar calculations to understand the effect of autogenic training on depression observed, a reduction effect on the depression score by 0.29 point (n=327, SMD=-0.29: 95% CI -0.50 to -0.07), in the studies on long term intervention targeting the patient group. Conclusion: Autogenic training is effective for adults' stress management, and nurses will be able to effectively perform autogenic training programs for workers' stress relief at the workplace.

  • SLE 환자들에서 인지기능의 장애가 있는지를 알아보기 위해서 신경정신과적 병력이 없는 내과 외래 SLE 환자 20명과 정상 대조군 20명을 대상으로 전산화 신경인지기능 검사인 Vienna test system을 시행하고 이를 인지기능에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 임상 변인들과의 연관성을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) SLE 환자군과 정상 대조군의 신경인지기능 검사의 각 항목 비교 인식력 검사항목에서 SLE 환자군은 정상 대조군에 비해 정확하게 응답한 반응수가 적었으며 '예'와 '아니오' 중 '아니오'를 정확하게 반응한 수도 적었다. 또한 '예'와 '아니오'에 대해 각각 정확한 반응을 하는 평균 반응시간이 길었으며 검사소요 시간도 길었다. 주의력 검사항목에서는 SLE 환자군이 정상 대조군에 비해 정확하게 응답한 반응수가 적었고, 평균 반응시간이 길었다. 그러나, corsi단기 기억력 검사항목에서는 시각적 단기 기억력 범위와 정확하게 맞춘 총 응답수에서 두군 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 표준도형 지능검사항목에서 SLE 환자군은 정상 대조군에 비해 정확하게 응답한 반응수가 적었다. 신경행동학적 인지상태 검사중 기억력 항목에서 SLE 환자군은 정상 대조군에 비해 유의하게 낮은 점수를 보였다. 2) 신경인지기능의 각 항목과 환자군의 연령, 교육연한, SLE 질환 활성도(SLE Disease Activity Index), 우울 증상의 정도, 항 ds-DNA항체. 보체 C3/C4, 스테로이드의 용량 등의 임상 변인들과의 상관관계를 비교하였을 때 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 이상의 결과에서 질환 활성도가 낮은 SLE환자들은 과거 신경정신과적 증상의 병력이 없고 병의 이환 기간이 비교적 짧음에도 불구하고 인지기능의 장애를 나타내었다. 그리고 이는 기타 장기의 침범으로 인한 비특이적 영향이 아닌 중추신경계의 침범에 의한 것으로 보이며 우울정도나 스테로이드 용량에 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 생각된다.

  • The silkworm, Bombyx mori L. is prone to infection of various pathogenic organisms. Pebrine, one of the deadliest disease of silkworm caused by highly virulent parasitic microsporidian, Nosema bombycis has been understood since long. Infections of the disease range from chronic to highly virulent and can result in complete lose to the sericulture industry. Several strains and species of microsporidians have since been isolated from the infected silkworms. A new microsporidian spore was isolated from Lamerin breed of the silkworm B. mori have been studied under scanning electron microscope, found to be different in spore size (length 4.36$\pm$0.06 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, width 2.14$\pm$0.01${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and shape (ova cylindrical with slight depression) from standard strain N. bombycis (length 3.08$\pm$0.21 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, width 2.01$\pm$0.05 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and ovidal respectively). In immunological test, the silkworm breed Lamerin isolated micrisporidian spore does not react to different antibody (N. bombycis, M$_{11}$ and M$_{12}$) sensitized latex particle and thus appeared to be a different strain of microsporidian parasitic to the Lamerin breed of the silkworm B. mori.i.i.

  • Investigation of molecular and cellular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity is the major focus of many neuroscientists. There are two major reasons for searching new genes and molecules contributing to central plasticity: first, it provides basic neural mechanism for learning and memory, a key function of the brain; second, it provides new targets for treating brain-related disease. Long-term potentiation (LTP), mostly intensely studies in the hippocampus and amygdala, is proposed to be a cellular model for learning and memory. Although it remains difficult to understand the roles of LTP in hippocampus-related memory, a role of LTP in fear, a simplified form of memory, has been established. Here, I will review recent cellular studies of LTP in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and then compare studies in vivo and in vitro LTP by genetic/pharmacological approaches. I propose that ACC LTP may serve as a cellular model for studying central sensitization that related to chronic pain, as well as pain-related cognitive emotional disorders. Understanding signaling pathways related to ACC LTP may help us to identify novel drug target for various mental disorders.

  • Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is defined as a fibroblastic odontogenic tumor characterized by varying density of the tooth epithelium. It is an extremely rare benign neoplasm that occurs in the maxilla and the mandible; only a few reports of COF are available in the literature. Diagnosis of the lesion based only on the radiological features of COF is difficult due to variation in the findings regarding this condition. This report describes 2 clinical cases of middle-aged women with COF. Clinical examination revealed palatal mucosal depression; additionally, oral examination, as well as panoramic radiographs, intraoral radiographs, and computed tomography scans, revealed severe root resorption. This report highlights the clinical and radiological imaging features of COF, with the goal of enabling straightforward differential diagnosis of the lesion by the clinician and thereby appropriate treatment of the patient.

  • 원동 칼데라의 화산작용은 화도에서 어떤 외부물과 상호작용되는 수증기마그마성 분출작용으로 시작하여 점차 물의 유입이 차단됨으로써 저플리언 분출작용으로 전환되었으며 이는 다시 회류분출로 전환되었다. 이 회류분출은 초기에는 중앙화구로부터 일어났으며 후기에는 환상 열극화구로 전환되었다. 이러한 환상 열극화구로부터 회류분출의 방출율이 급격히 커짐으로써 원동 칼데라가 형성되고 뒤이어 환상단열대를 따라 석영반암이 관입되어 환상암맥을 형성하였다. 그리고 이 칼데라 모우트에는 오랬동안 응회질 퇴적물이 채워지면서 반상유문암 용암이 초기 소생도움으로부터 분류되었으며, 환상단열대의 다른 틈을 따라 소량의 회류응회암이 분출되었다. 그리고 소생도움이 더 커지면서 세립질 화강섬록암이 관입되었으며, 마지막으로 지속적 소생작용으로 칼데라 중앙부에 각섬석 흑운모 화강암이 정치되어 완전한 소생도움을 형성하는 과정을 겪었다.
