Homologated analogues 3a and 3b of potent and selective A3 adenosine receptor ligands, IB-MECA and dimethyl-IB-MECA were synthesized from commercially available 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-${\beta}$-D-ribofuranose (4) via $Co_2(CO)_8$-catalyzed siloxymethylation as a key step. Unfortunately, homologated analogues 3a and 3b did not show significant binding affinities at three subtypes of adenosine receptors, indicating that free rotation, resulting from homologation, induced unfavorable interactions in the binding site of the receptor maybe due to the presence of many conformations.

This experiment was undertaken in order to investigate whether chicken can serve as a carrier for swine lungworm, Metastrongylus apri. The results abtained are summerized as follows: All chickens which were fed the infective larvae of M. apri, in the form of infected earthworm (Eisenia foctida) excreted appreximately 4.4 to 5.4 percent of the infective larvae in their feces between 2 to 10 hours after dosing. The larval excretion was marked especially during the first 2 hours. A few (0.10~0.12%) larvae were detected from the intestinal wall of chickens by pepsin-digestion method on a day after dosing, but no further migration or development of the larvae was observed. The larvae which had passed through the digestive tract of chickens retained their viability and produced characteristic lungworm disease when inoculated to guineapigs. From these results, it may he concluded that the chicken can serve as a carrier for the infective larvae of M. apri.

Recently, as korean eating habits have been westernized, the incidence of large intestinal disease, which has been recognized as western diseases until now, has been increasing. This study was conducted to find the association of fiber intake and large bowel function. This was a cross-sectional survey, the data were obtained by self-administering questionnaire and study population was adults aged more than 18 years old in Seoul(N=1200). The response rate was 81.8%. The results were summarized as followed: 1) The factors associated with bowel function was sex, habits of defecation such as regularity and frequencies of defecation, fecal form, gastrointestinal diseases, psychological scores, self-assessment of physical status, exercise and alcohol drinking. 2) The association between the amount of fiber intake and bowel function was significant. This association was still significant, when the confounders such as disease of upper digestive system and alcohol drinking were controlled.

Despite its declining incidence, gastric cancer is globally, still, the third most common cause of cancer-related mortality. Gastric cancer is a heterogeneous disease with diverse pathogenesis and molecular backgrounds. Therefore several systems have been proposed to aid in the classification of gastric adenocarcinoma based on the macroscopic, microscopic and anatomical features of the tumor. However, these classifications did not reflect the pathogenesis of the disease. Recently, genomic analysis has identified several subtypes of gastric adenocarcinoma and a detailed understanding of the molecular biology behind the neoplastic phenotype is possible to develop of more effective therapies. We will describe the existing various classification of gastric cancer and the recently introduced molecular biology and immunological classification.

Incidence of rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) has increased tremendously over the decades due to disease awareness and widespread use of screening colonoscopy. Although NEN has been recognized as malignant disease, most rectal NENs are initially found as small mass confined to the submucosa, which can be removed completely through various endoscopic treatments with good prognosis. In this review, we summarize the treatment options focusing on localized T1 rectal NEN by comparing representative international guidelines and discuss current controversies on the management. We also discuss various resection techniques focusing on endoscopic resection.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is associated with gastroduodenal diseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcer diseases, gastric adenocarcinoma, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Furthermore, various extragastroduodenal diseases have been suggested to be related with H. pylori infection. Although no single factor has been considered the cause of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a negative association was found between the prevalence of H. pylori and GERD severity. Additionally, the role of eradication therapy of H. pylori in reflux esophagitis is controversial, and a significant correlation was found between successful H. pylori eradication rate and reflux esophagitis development. H. pylori infection remains an inconclusive and important issue in GERD. Thus, more experimental studies are necessary to elucidate the potential mechanisms.

Clinical research ultimately aimed to promptly diagnose and prevent diseases through precise biomarker development. Finding the optimal cut-off point of a regularly measured biomarker can help its interpretation and ultimately help in disease investigation and diagnosis, more specifically in determining the presence of diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to use the characteristics of outcome variables in clinical research to explain how to determine the optimal cutoff point. The outcome variables can be divided into dichotomous, ordinal, and survival types. The optimal cut-off point can be determined by finding points that maximize the Youden index, extended Youden index, and log-rank statistics. This study will enable clinical researchers to accurately determine the optimal cut-off points for regularly measured biomarkers, thereby enabling prompt disease diagnosis for effective treatment.

Screening and early diagnosis of cancer is important. Screening lead to detect disease earlier, and earlier treatment of disease cause to yield a better outcome than treatment at the onset of symptoms. Some studies suggest that gastric cancer screening may be associated with a reduced risk of mortality from gastric cancer, although there are no definitive data from large controlled trials. Regular colorectal cancer screening or testing is one of the most powerful weapons for preventing colorectal cancer, because some polyps, or growths can be found and removed before they have the chance to turn into cancer. Screening can also result in finding colorectal cancer early, when it is highly curable. In conclusion, to increase utilization of screening is important to decrease gastric and colorectal cancer morbidity and mortality.

Objective : We used herbal medicine to treat various disease and also to keep good general condition of children. We aimed to evaluate the effect of herbal medicine on the growth of children treated with herbal medicine. Method: We studied 187 children who visited the department of Pediatrics, KyungHee Oriental Medical Hospital from March 2004 to August 2004. They meet condition as follows; they were treated for more than 6 months and they visited our clinic more than 3 times. Whenever patients visited our hospital, we measured their height, body weight and obesity degree using DS-102(dszenix, Seoul). We measured height percentile of first time visit, and that of last time visit. And we compared them using the Growth Statistics Curve made by the Korean Association of Pediatrics, 1998. Results : The mean growth of total children showed 4.04 percentile upwardly; the growth- up percentile of boys was 4.52 and that of girls was 3.26. Analysis according to disease resulted as follows; children with respiratory disease showed 10.29 percentile growth-up, digestive disease 4.21percentile, urinary disease 4 percentile, allergic disease 2.65 percentile, weak children 2.52 percentile and other disease 3.19 percentile. Conclusion : Herbal medical treatment helped growth not only in children who took medicine for growth retardation problem but children with various disease. Moreover herbal medical treatment applied to keep good general condition of children also gave positive effect on the growth of children.
