  • Achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia are the two most common forms of short-limb dwarfism. They are autosomal dominant diseases that are characterized by a rhizomelic shortening of the limbs, large head with frontal bossing, hypoplasia of the mid-face, genu varum and trident hands. Mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR3) gene, which is located on chromosome 4p16.3, have been reported to cause achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia. More than 98% of achondroplasia cases are caused by the G380R mutation (c.1138G>A or c.1138G>C). In contrast, the N540K mutation (c.1620C>A) is detected in 60-65% of hypochondroplasia cases. Tests for common mutations are often unable to detect the mutation in patients with a clinical diagnosis of hypochondroplasia. In this study, we presented a case of familial hypochondroplasia with a rare mutation in FGFR3 identified by next generation sequencing.

  • Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLO) is a rare, autosomal recessive disease caused by an inborn error in cholesterol synthesis. Patients with this disease suffer from multiple malformations due to reduced activity of 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7), which increases 7-dehydrocholesterol (7DHC) and 8-dehydrocholesterol (8DHC) concentrations and decreases cholesterol concentration in body fluids and tissue. Here, we describe Korean siblings with SLO who were diagnosed recently, and performed a review of literature about Korean cases with SLO to date. Microcephaly and syndactyly of the second and third toes are the most common physical finding in SLOS patients. Other malformations including growth failure, cleft palate or bifid uvula, various heart malformation, genital ambiguity in males are also accompanied. Not all patients showed low levels of serum cholesterol, so DHCR7 mutation analysis can be helpful to confirmative diagnosis. Two mutations on p.R352 locus (p.R352W and p.R352Q) are commonly identified in Korean SLO patients. Although rare in Korea, SLO should be considered in the differential diagnosis of growth failure with intellectual disability, especially in patients with multiple congenital anomalies.

  • Swine proliferative enteritis(SPE) caused by inかsoma intracellularis is a common enteric disaese of grower and finisher pig. Swine affected with SPE show variable clinical signs including diarrhea, weight loss, aberrant growth and death. The characteristic lesion of ileitis at necropsy is marked thickening of the last section of the small intestine. The inner lining of the thickened intestine proliferates almost like a cancer and curved rod bacteria(L intracellularis) are always seen inside the intestinal wall. Infected swine shed the organism in the feces. Isolation and growth of pure L intracellularis in vitro requires a suitable cell culture. This procedure is difficult and not a practical means of diagnosis, thus the polymerase chain reaction(PCR) test of feces can be used to determine whether a pig is shedding the infective organism. A sensitive assay based on amplification of a 319bp DffA fragment of the L intracellularis of Swine proliferative enteritis was attempted for the detection of the organism in the 62 feces of swine. L intracellularis was identified on three herds and detected in 6 fecal samples, representing a infection rate of 9.7%. The PCR was very sensitive and specific on the individual level. The PCR technique could be very useful for the diagnosis of this disease.

  • 본 논문에서는 초음파 센서를 이용하여 부분방전에 의해 발생하는 기준준위 이상의 초음파 펄스수를 계수하여, 전력용 변압기의 부분방전 진전을 상시 감시할 수 있는 예방진단기술에 관하여 연구하였다. 실험결과, 초음파 발생장치 및 침-평판전극에 일정전압을 인가하여 일정한 초음파 및 부분방전을 발생시킬 경우에 측정한 초음파 펄스수의 경향은 일정하였으며, 침-평판전극에 인가전압을 상승시켜 부분방전을 임의로 크게 하거나, 침-평판전극에 절연지를 삽입하고 일정전압을 인가하여 부분방전을 진전시킬 경우의 초음파 펄스수는 부분방전의 진전과 더불어 증가함을 보여, 본 연구에서 제시한 진단장치를 이용하여 부분방전의 진전을 상시 감시할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Purpose: Childhood leukemia is a serious trauma affecting both adolescents and their parents, who experience painful process. However, adolescents with leukemia and their parents also experience positive changes, which is referred to as posttraumatic growth. We examined posttraumatic growth, core beliefs, impact of event, and event-related rumination in adolescents within 5 years of a diagnosis of childhood leukemia and their parents. Methods: The participants were 68 adolescents with childhood leukemia (aged 13~18 years) and their parents, who were recruited from C university hospital in Korea from May to September 2016. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Core Belief Inventory, Impact of Event Scale-Revised, and Event-related Rumination Inventory were completed by the adolescents and their parents. The mean scores and correlations between variables were investigated for both set of participants. Results: Parents showed significantly higher levels of posttraumatic growth, disruption of core beliefs, impact of event, and invasive rumination than adolescents. Disruption of core beliefs and deliberate rumination were positively correlated with posttraumatic growth in both groups. Conclusion: Nursing intervention programs that involve modifying core beliefs and inducing a positive thought can help adolescents with leukemia and their parents grow after traumatic events.

  • In order to help understand the growth mechanisms of demetallization due to self healing on a metallized polypropylene film (MPPF), several types of defects affecting the breakdown of capacitor dielectrics were made. The breakdown voltages with dielectric thickness were measured at self healing and the demetallized area was evaluated for all of the self healing events. The shapes and growth processes of the demetallized spots on the dielectrics were investigated. As a result, self healing mainly occurred at pin tips, wrinkle sides, and junctions of the wrinkles, and the breakdown voltages strongly depended on the thickness of the dielectrics. In addition, the demetallized area due to self healing was governed by the breakdown voltage and it has been mainly grown by some factors; the applied voltage; the consequent self healing events taking place at the circumference of the original self healing spots; the conductive paths formed by two or more self healing spots and by the consequent self healing spots.

  • Angiogenesis is the new blood vessel formation process and has known to a fundamental event of tumor growth and metastasis. Especially, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptors (VEGFRs) are the crucial regulators of angiogenesis in tumor. VEGF-A is one of the VEGF family and binds to endothelial cell specific VEGFR1 and VEGFR2, which are associated with tumor growth and tumor angiogenesis. $VEGF_{121}$ is more tumorigenic isomer of VEGF-A. Targeted VEGF or VEGFR molecular imaging has been widely used to enable diagnosis and monitoring of proliferation and development of angiogenic tumors. Therefore, in this review, we have focused on the radioligands with $VEGF_{121}$ for angiogenesis of tumor.

  • Osteoporosis is a common disorder characterized by reduced bone mineral density, deterioration of the microarchitecture of bone tissue and increased risk of fracture. The aim of treatment of osteoporosis is to maintain and, ideally, to restore bone strength safely. In recent years the role of polypeptide growth factors in bone metabolism has begun to appear. It has been proposed that alterations in the expression or production of growth factor can modulate the proliferation and activity of bone forming cells. Thus, the role of structurally diverse peptides for the management and diagnosis of osteoporosis has attracted the attention of many investigators. This paper reviews numerous findings concerning the use of polypeptides, hormones, and growth factors, for the management of osteoporosis. Many of the compounds mentioned here are experimental prototypes of new therapeutic classes. Though it is unlikely that some of the compounds may ever be used clinically, development of safe and efficacious agents in each class will define the future course of therapy for osteoporosis.
