  • Background: Maintenance chemotherapy is one strategy pursued in recent years with intent to break through the chemotherapy plateau for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, given the toxicity, platinum-based combinations are rarely given for this purpose. We carried out the present prospective study of triplet platinum-based combination sequential chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC to investigate if patients could tolerate and benefit from such intensive treatment. Methods: From Dec 2003 to Dec 2007, 190 stage IIIB and IV NSCLC patients in Sun yat-sen University sequentially received the 3 platinum-based combination (TP-NP-GP) treatment (T: paclitaxol175$mg/m^2$ d1; N: vinorelbine25$mg/m^2$ d1 and 8; G: gemcitabine1$g/m^2$ d1 and 8; P: cisplatin20$mg/m^2$ d1-5; repeated every 3 weeks). Patients were followed up to at least 3 years to obtain survival data. Treatment toxicities and the quality of life (QOL) were assessed during the whole treatment. Results: There were 187 patients evaluable. The TP, NP and GP response rates with sequential use were 42.8% (80/187), 41.1% (65/158) and 28.8% (21/73) respectively. Median survival time was 18.2 months and the 1, 2 and 3 year overall survival (OS) rates were 78.7%, 38.5% and 21.3%. Patients receiving > 6 cycles of chemotherapy had significantly longer OS and TTP (MST 25.3 vs. 14.5 months, TTP 15.1 vs. 9.1 months). The QOL on the whole for the patients was improved after chemotherapy. Conclusions: The sequential chemotherapy strategy with triplet platinum-based combination regimens can improve the survival outcome and the quality of life of advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients.

  • Compton suppression system은 스펙트럼에서 Compton continuum으로 존재하는 영역을 억제하는 장치 이다. 본 연구에서는 HPGe-NaI(TI)의 기하학적인 구조 파악 및 이동에 따른 이 때 그 효과를 최적화 할 수 있는 배치구조를 찾기 위하여, Monte Carlo simulation을 통해 Compton suppression의 행태적 특성을 파악하고, 몇 가지 배치구조에 대한 비교를 해보았다. 또한 거리에 따른 효율을 이용하여 환경 측정에 사용되는 실린더 비커에 적용해 보았다. ARF 값은 81.1 keV의 경우 약 1.65, 1332.4 에너지의 경우 약 1.9 정도로 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있다. NaI(Tl) 검출기들의 위치 이동에 따라 특정한 영역에서 suppression이 일어나는 확인할 수 있다. Compton suppression system 구성의 목적에 비추어 볼 때, 결과 에너지 스펙트럼의 Compton continuum 영역 전반에 걸쳐 suppression이 이루어지는 것이 더욱 적절한 배치구조가 됨을 알 수 있다. 따라서 최적화된 구조를 통해 다양한 환경시료 측정에 적용할 수 있음을 확인 하였다.

  • Purpose : Concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT) with 3 weekly cisplatin is the standard treatment of locally advanced head and neck cancer(HNC). The aim is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicities of low-dose weekly cisplatin-based CCRT, which was devised to reduce the toxicity of CCRT. Method : We retrospectively analyzed HNC patients who received low-dose weekly cisplatin-based CCRT between 2008 and 2010. Cisplatin 35mg/$m^2$ was weekly given to all patients during radiotherapy. The efficacy was evaluated by the degree of clinical response, treatment failure and survival. The toxicity was evaluated by hematologic toxicities and oral mucositis. Results : A total of 27 patients were analyzed and median age was 59(range 31-81). The ratio of administered dose of radiotherapy and cisplatin to planned dose were 0.98 and 0.93, respectively. Complete remission and partial remission were 73% and 23%, respectively. Treatment failure was observed in 8(30%) patients. 1-year survival rate and 1-year disease free survival rate were 82% and 59%, respectively. Overall survival and progression-free survival did not reach median time. Grade 3/4 anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and oral mucositis were observed in 11%, 19%, 7% and 32% of patients, respectively. In terms of administered cycles, however, only 1-3% of grade 3/4 hematologic toxicities occurred among total 190 cycles. Severe oral mucositis were statistically associated with old age(p=0.003). Treatment failure had no statistical relation with age, pathology, primary site and stage. Conclusion : Low-dose weekly cisplatin-based CCRT seemed to deliver enough dose of cisplatin and to show low drop-out rate and good efficacy with low hematologic toxicities.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate climatological variations from the temporal and spatial surface particulate organic carbon (POC) estimates based on SeaWiFS spectral radiance, and to determine the physical mechanisms that affect the distribution of pac in the Gulf of Mexico. 7-year monthly mean values of surface pac concentration (Sept. 1997 - Dec. 2004) were estimated from Maximum Normalized Difference Carbon Index (MNDCI) algorithm using SeaWiFS data. Synchronous 7-year monthly mean values of remote sensing data (sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface wind (SSW), sea surface height anomaly (SSHA), precipitation rate (PR)) and recorded river discharge data were used to determine physical forcing factors. The spatial pattern of POC was related to one or more factors such as river runoff, wind-derived current, and stratification of the water column, the energetic Loop Current/Eddies, and buoyancy forcing. The observed seasonal change in the POC plume's response to wind speed in the western delta region resulted from seasonal changes in the upper ocean stratification. During late spring and summer, the low-density river water is heated rapidly at the surface by incoming solar radiation. This lowers the density of the fresh-water plume and increases the near-surface stratification of the water column. In the absence of significant wind forcing, the plume undergoes buoyant spreading and the sediment is maintained at the surface by the shallow pycnocline. However, when the wind speed increases substantially, wind-wave action increases vertical motion, reducing stratification, and the sediment were mixed downward rather than spreading laterally. Maximum particle concentrations over the outer shelf and the upper slope during lower runoff seasons were related to the Loop Current/eddies and buoyancy forcing. Inter-annual differences of POC concentration were related to ENSO cycles. During the El Nino events (1997-1998 and 2002-2004), the higher pac concentrations existed and were related to high runoffs in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, but the opposite conditions in the western Gulf of Mexico. During La Nina conditions (1999-2001), low Poe concentration was related to normal or low river discharge, and low PM/nutrient waters in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, but the opposite conditions in the western Gulf of Mexico.

  • 한발 발생이 갈수록 증가하고 있는 가운데, 작물의 생리생화학적 기작과 광합성능을 효율적으로 진단 및 평가 할 수 있는 방법을 찾는 것은 매우 중요한 과제이다. 본 연구를 통해 광화학 반사 지수인 PRI가 콩의 한발 스트레스에 대하여 고온과 고CO2 등 미래 기후 변화 환경에서도 유의미한 생육 지표로 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. PRI와 대표적 한발 생육지표들(군락 광이용효율, 건물중 변동율, 엽록소 형광, 기공전도도)과의 밀접한 관계를 통해 한발 스트레스 하에서 콩의 광합성 활성과 생장량을 원격으로 모니터링할수 있는 진단 모델 개발의 가능성을 볼 수 있었다. 다만 향후 고온, 고CO2 등 기후변화 조건에서 PRI의 성능에 대한 지속적인 평가와 함께 민감도 향상을 위한 광학지표 개발 및 모델 개선 연구가 선행되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

  • We have studied, by a nonisotopic in situ end-labeling(ISEL) technique, frequency of apoptosis in the external granular layer(EGL) of the cerebellum of immature mice by ${\gamma}$-rays irradiation from $^{60}Co$ or diagnostic ultrasound exposure. The total number of normal cells and cells showing morphological features of apoptosis were counted. The frequency of apoptotic cells was expressed as a percentage of the total number of cells in EGL. The extent of changes following 200 cGy(1090 cGy/min) was studied at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24 hours after exposure. The maximal frequency was found 6~8 hours after exposure. The immature mice that received 18, 36, 54, 108, 198, 396 cGy of ${\gamma}$-rays or diagnostic ultrasound(7.5MHz, 4.2mW, $I_{SPTA}=7.9mW/cm^2$, $I_{SPTA}=114.3W/cm^2$) for 10 or 30 minutes were examined 6 hours after irradiation. Measurements performed after ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation showed a dose-related increase in apoptotic cells in each of the mice studied. The dose-response curves were analyzed by a linear-quadratic model ; frequency of apoptotic cell in the EGL was y = $(0.1349{\pm}0.01175)D$+$(-0.0001522{\pm}0.0000334)D^2$+0.048($r^2$ = 0.981, D = dose in cGy). In the experiment of ultrasound exposure, the frequency of apoptotic cell was $0.106{\pm}0.130$(10 minutes exposure) and $0.167{\pm}0.220$(30 minutes exposure). We estimated the relative dose of the yield from the experiment with ultrasound by substituting the yield from ultrasound exposure into the curve from the ${\gamma}$-irradiation. The relative dose of ultrasound exposure compared with ${\gamma}$-irradiation were 0.432 cGy(10 minutes exposure) and 0.885 cGy(30 minutes exposure). We have found that there is no evidence to indicate that diagnostic ultrasound involves a significant risk.

  • 자외선조사는 흰쥐흉부대동맥의 휴지기장력에 거의 영향을 미치지 못했으나, phenylephrine으로 수축된 표본에서는 자외선조사로 내피세포가 존재하면 수축반응을, 내피세포가 제거되면 이완반응이 나타났다. 이 수축반응은 조사시간의 길이($10{\sim}320$초)에 비례하여 증가하였으나 이완반응은 그렇지 못하였다. 내피세포 존재표본에서 자외선의 수축반응은 phenylephrine농도의 증가($10^{-7}{\sim}10^{-5}M$) 그리고 $acetylcholine(10^{-6}M)$, $isoproterenol(10^{-7}M)$$nitroglycerin(3.5{\times}10^{-8} M)$의 추가투여시 크게 강화되었다. 그러나 $phentolamine(10^{-6}M)$ 또는 $LY83583(10^{-7},10^{-6}M)$의 추가투여시에는 자외선 수축반응이 억제 또는 이완반응으로 역전되었다. 내피세포 제거표본에서의 자외선 이완반응은 phenylephrine농도의 증가 그리고 isoproterenol, nitroglycerine, phentolamine 및 LY83583의 추가투여시 유의하게 감약되었다. 이상의 성적은 흰쥐 적출 흥부대동맥에서 자외선조사는 내피세포 존재유무에 따라 수축과 이완반응이 각각 나타나며, 수축반응은 자외선에 의한 EDRF 유리억제 또는 부분적으로 어떤 EDCF와도 관련이 있음을 시사하고 있다.

  • In this study, magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$) nanoparticles were electrochemically synthesized in an aqueous electrolyte at a given potential of -1.3 V for 180 s. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that dendrite-like $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles with a mean size of < 80 nm were electrodeposited on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The $Fe_3O_4/GCE$ was utilized for sensing chloramphenicol (CAP) by cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry. A reduction peak of CAP at the $Fe_3O_4/GCE$ was observed at 0.62 V, whereas the uncoated GCE exhibited a very small response compared to that of the $Fe_3O_4/GCE$. The electrocatalytic ability of $Fe_3O_4$ was mainly attributed to the formation of Fe(VI) during the anodic scan, and its reduction to Fe(III) on the cathodic scan facilitated the sensing of CAP. The effects of pH and scan rate were measured to determine the optimum conditions at which the $Fe_3O_4/GCE$ exhibited the highest sensitivity with a lower detection limit. The reduction current for CAP was proportional to its concentration under optimized conditions in a range of $0.09-47{\mu}M$ with a correlation coefficient of 0.9919 and a limit of detection of $0.09{\mu}M$ (S/N=3). Moreover, the fabricated sensor exhibited anti-interference ability towards 4-nitrophenol, thiamphenicol, and 4-nitrobenzamide. The developed electrochemical sensor is a cost effective, reliable, and straightforward approach for the electrochemical determination of CAP in real time applications.

  • 연구배경 : Arsenic trioxide($As_2O_3$)은 재발성 또는 불응성 급성전골수성백혈병의 치료제로 쓰이는 항암제로서 비소세포폐암을 포함한 다른 암세포주에도 효과가 있는 것으로 되어있다. NSAIDs는 항암 예방약제로 사용되고 있고, 세포고사를 통해 다른 항암제나 방사선치료의 반응성을 강화시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 NCI-H157 세포주에서 $As_2O_3$와 sulindac의 병합치료가 그것들의 세포고사를 배가시키는지 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 세포 독성은 MTT 방법으로 측정하였고, 세포고사를 알아보기 위해 핵산 염색과 유식세포 분석을 시행하였다. 세포고사의 기전을 보기 위해 caspasefamily의 활성을 보았고, PARP와 ICAD의 분절을 western blotting으로 확인하였다. 또한 Fas와 Fas-L의 발현유무를 western blotting을 통해 관찰하였다. 결 과 : NCI-H157 폐암세포에 $As_2O_3$와 sulindac을 병합치료시 단독치료군에 비해 생존율이 의미 있게 감소하였고, 이러한 세포사는 핵산염색을 통한 염색사의 응축과 핵 분절 유도와 유식세포 분석에 의한 $sub-G_0/G_1$ DNA분획의 증가현상을 통해 세포고사에 의해 매개됨을 알 수 있었다. 세포고사의 유도에는 caspase 3, 8, 9를 통한 활성화와 이에 의한 PARP와 ICAD의 절단을 확인하였다. 또한 caspase-8 protease의 활성화에는 Fas와 Fas/L 단백질의 발현증가가 유도되었음을 알 수 있었다. 결 론 :NCI-H157 폐암세포주에 $As_2O_3$와 sulindac의 병합요법은 Fas/FasL 신호전달계의 활성화와 caspase 단백질 활성화 의해 세포고사가 유도되었다.

  • 염색폐수를 생물학적으로 처리하여 방류하는 연속으로 연결되어있는 6개의 단으로 구성된 폐수처리시설에서 폐수 유동을 관찰하고 처리공정에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요인들을 찾기 위해 동위원소를 이용한 추적자 실험을 수행하였다. 추적자로 약 20mCi의 $^{131}I$를 첫 번째 단의 폐수 유입부에 투입하고 각 단에 방사선 검출기를 설치하여 시간에 따른 추적자 농도변화를 측정하였다. 측정된 데이터를 Perfect Mixers in Series Model을 이용한 분석을 통하여 평균체재시간과 시스템에서의 유동 특성 파라미터들을 계산하였다. 시스템의 평균체재시간은 설계치인 22.3시간의 76%인 17시간으로 계산되었다. 시스템을 구성하고 있는 6개의 단 중에서 제1단은 완전혼합기(perfect mixer)로서의 특성을 보이지 않았으나, 나머지 5개의 단은 완전혼합기와 같이 작동하였다. 제1단의 출력은 상호 교환이 일어나는 탱크를 가진 완전혼합기 모델로 모사한 출력과 좋은 일치를 보였다. 이 교환되는 탱크의 크기는 전체의 약 4분의 1인 것으로 분석되었다. 체재시간분포 실험의 결과는 유입 폐수의 방사선 전처리를 위해 설치된 전자선가속기의 가동조건 변경 후 그 영향에 대한 연구를 위한 적정 시료채취시간 산정에 사용되었다.
