In order to study the effect of oral administration of Mawhangyounpye-tang against to asthma, astham was induced to allergy-sensitive Balb/c mouse with ovalbumin using method of Hatfield et al (1997). The changes of diameter lumen of upper portion of the trachea, lung weight, gross appearance of lung, histological profiles of lung and trachea, numbers of cellular compartments in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), numbers and morphology of the mast cells in the trachea, numbers of mucus-secretory cell in the broncus, morphology of the bronchus, ultramicroscopical appearance of surface of trachea and number of cilia and mucous-secretory cells by scanning electron microscope. Obtained results were as follows. 1. The diameters of trachea lumen were significantly decreased in asthma induced control groups and these decreasing were result from hypertrophy of mucous membrane. However, these phenomena were dramatically recovered in the Mawhangyounpye-tang dosing groups. 2. Lung weights and black spots, which were result from infiltration of inflammatory cells, were significantly increased in asthma induced control groups but these phenomena were dramatically recovered in the Mawhangyounpye-tang dosing groups. 3. Hypertrophy of mucous membrane of trachea and bronchus and !bronchioles in the lung, peritracheal, peribronchus and peribronchiolar inflammatory cell infiltration, and mucoid exudate deposit in the lumen were observed in asthma induced control groups but these phenomena were dramatically recovered in the Mawhangyounpye-tang dosing groups. 4. Cellular compartments including neutrophil and eosinophil were dramatically increased in the BALF of asthma induced control groups but these phenomena were dramatically recovered in the Mawhangyounpye-tang dosing groups. 5. Mast cell degranulation and decreasing of the numbers of mast cells were detected in the trachea of asthma induced control groups. However, these phenomena were dramatically recovered in the Mawhangyounpye-tang dosing groups. 6. Shed, decreasing of cilia cell and increasing of mucous-secretory cells in the surface of the trachea of asthma induced control groups but these phenomena were dramatically recovered in the Mawhangyounpye-tang dosing groups. In conclusion, it Is considered that Mawhangyounpye-tang has somewhat favorable effect on the asthma because the asthma specific series of abnormalities in respiratory system were decreased after oral administratin of Mawhangyounpye-tang in this study. In future, it is needed that the toxicological and dosagespecific study of Mawhangyounpye-tang to use against asthma with safe.

골대체제는 지연유합이나 유합부전 그리고 골절술과 관절고정술 시 골편의 연속성 확립이 필요한 경우 골절의 주요 결손부위를 채우는데 주로 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 오적골의 다양한 전처리 후 직경 5 mm 두께 2 mm의 형태로 가공하여 rhBMP-2의 담체로써 골전도력과 골유도력을 평가하고자 하였다. 결합조직의 두께는 2, 4주차 모두 오적골유래 hydroxyapatite 적용군(CBHA)에서 가장 유의성 있게 얇았다(p < 0.05). Radiologic gray-level histogram의 측정에서는 4주차에서 CBHA군이 산호유래 hydroxyapatite 적용군(CHA)군보다 유의성 있게 높게 나타났으며(p < 0.05), 12주차에서는 CHA군의 변화율이 가장 적었다. 전체 12주 동안의 변화율에서는 CBHA가 가장 많은 변화를 보였다. 폐쇄율에 있어서는 4, 8, 12주차 모두 CHA군이 다른 군에 비해 유의성 있게 높게 나타났으며(p < 0.05), 8주차에서는 bmp를 적용한 오적골 적용군(CB1bmp)이 CBHA군보다 유의성 있게 높게 나타났다(p < 0.05). 이상의 결과들은 CBHA가 생체 내에 적용하는 골대체재로서 골유도능력이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 CBHA는 편평골에 있어 생체적 합성이 뛰어난 골대체재로 그 가치가 있는 것으로 생각되며, 수의 임상에 있어서 활용성이 매우 높을 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: Phthalates are used as plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics. As phthalate plasticizers are not chemically bound to the PVC, they can leach, migrate or evaporate into indoor air and atmosphere, foodstuffs, other materials, etc. Therefore, humans are exposed through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal exposure over their entire lifetime, including during intrauterine development. In particular, university students have a great number of opportunities to contact products including phthalates during campus life (food packaging, body care products, cosmetic, lotions, aftershave, perfume etc.). The purpose of this study was to examine levels of phthalate exposure as undergraduate students begin to use pharmaceuticals and personal care products including phthalates. Methods: Phthalate metabolites, mono-ethyl phthalate (MEP), mono-n-butyl phthalate (MnBP), mono-isobutyl phthalate (MiBP), mono-2- ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP), {(mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP}, and mono-(2-ethlyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (MEOHP} were examined. 80 urine samples collected from university students were analyzed using LC/MS/MS(API 4000, Applied Bioscience) with on-line enrichment and columnswitching techniques. This study was carried out at Y university located in Gyonggi Province from 2008 to 2011. Results: The detection limit of phthalate metabolites were 0.03 ng/mL for MEP, 0.11 ng/mL for MnBP, 0.08 ng/mL for MiBP, 0.93 ng/mL for MEHP, 0.19 ng/mL for MEOHP and 0.16ng/mL for MEHHP. MnBP showed the highest urinary levels (median: 31.6 ug/L, 24.8 ug/g creatinine (cr)). Concentrations were also high for MEHHP (median: 24.1 ug/L, 19.0 ug/g cr), followed by MEOHP (median: 22.8 ug/L, 17.9 ug/g cr). In individual cases, the maximum level reached up to 348 ug/L, and 291 ug/g cr, respectively. The urinary and creatinine adjusted levels of MEP were lower than those for DBP and DEHP metabolites, but were higher in 95th percentiles. As a result, the mean daily DEP intake value was 2.3 ${\mu}g/kg$ bw/day, 3.5 ${\mu}g/kg$ bw/day for DEHP and 4.9 ${\mu}g/kg$ bw/day for DBP. Conclusion: These students' phthalate exposure levels were below the international safe level set by the EU, but higher than the 2012 KFDA survey of the age group from 3 to 18.

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to estimate the inhalation exposure level of benzene for workers using Tier 1 exposure models ECETOC TRA (European Center for Ecotoxicology and Toxicology of Chemicals Target Risk Assessment) and Stoffenmanager, and to investigate their reliability for exposure assessment in K-REACH. Methods: Two exposure scenarios, 'manufacture of benzene' and 'use as solvents,' were developed for assessment of workers' exposure to benzene. The Process Category (PROC) for ECETOC TRA was collected from the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) registration dossier, and the Activity for Stoffenmanager was converted from PROC using translation of exposure models (TREXMO). The information related to exposure, such as working duration, Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE), Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV), and Risk Management Measure (RMM) were classified into high, medium, and low exposure conditions. The risk was determined by the ratio of the estimated exposure and occupational exposure limits of benzene. Results: Under high exposure conditions, the worker exposure level calculated from all PROCs and Activities exceeded the risk level, with the exception of PROC 1 and Activity 1. In the medium exposure condition, PROC 8a, 8b, and 9 and Activity 3, 7, and 8 all exceeded the risk, whereas in the low condition, all PROCs and Activities were determined to be safe. As a result, action corresponding with the low exposure condition is required to reduce the risk of exposure among workers in workplaces where benzene is manufactured or used as a solvent. In addition, the predicted exposure levels derived from the exposure models were lower than measured levels. The exposure levels estimated from Stoffenmanager were more conservative than those from ECETOC TRA. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the feasibility of exposure models for exposure assessment through the example of occupational inhalation exposure assessment for benzene. For more active utilization of exposure models in K-REACH, the exact application of collected information and accurate interpretation of obtained results are necessary.

Objectives : With recent improvements in neuroimaging and the development of third and fourth-generation radiosurgical dose-planning soft ware, came a renewed interest in using radiosurgery for the treatment of movement disorders. Radiosurgery involves no opening of the cranium and no incisions, eliminating both the risk of hemorrhage from passing an electrode to the depths of meningitis from operative infection. It is for these reasons stereotactic radiosurgical treatment of movement disorders has value in a small subgroup of patients. The authors report four cases of Parkinson's disease and one case of dystonia that were treated by Gamma knife. Methods : Radiosurgical nucleus ventralis intermedius thalamotomy using the gamma knife unit was performed to make lesion in two Parkinson's disease patients. A radiation dose of 120Gy was delivered to nucleus using a single 4-mm collimator plug pattern following classic anatomical landmarks. Patients were followed for a median of 10.5 months(range 9-12 months). An independent neurological evaluation of tremor, based on the change in the United Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale tremor score(UPDRS), was correlated with a subjective evaluation. Gamma knife ventrolateral(V.O.P) thalamotomy was performed in one case of dystonia. A central dose of 150Gy was delivered and the patient was followed for 18 months. Gamma knife globus pallidus interna pallidotomy was performed in two Parkinson's disease patients. A radiation dose of 130Gy(range 120-140Gy) was delivered. Patients were followed for a median of 13 months(range 9-14 months). Result : Ventrolateral thalamotomy in dystonia produced regained left hand usage in order to be able to use the telephone. Ventralis intermedius thalamotomy produced an excellent improvement of the tremor in one case, mild improvement of the tremor in the other case of Parkinson's disease. A globus pallidus internalis(GPi) pallidotomy produced improvement of rigidity and dyskinesia : one other showed no change. There were no neurological complications. Conclusion : Gamma Knife thalamotomy considered a safe and effective technique for the treatment of tremor in Parkinson's disease. Although the results from Longer follow-up is not available yet, the short-term results seem to be encouraging.

Purpose: Frey's syndrome is a common complication after parotid surgery and characterized by gustatory sweating and flushing in the periauricular area during meals. Although a variety of methods have been proposed to prevent this postoperative problem but they have been unsatisfactory. In this article, therefore, botulinum toxin A was used to treat nine patients with Frey's syndrome and its duration effect after injection was investigated. Methods: Nine patients became the object of study about the effect of botulinum toxins as treatment of Frey's syndrome. Age of patients ranged from 25 to 78 years (mean, 43.7 years). Six of nine patients had both symptoms of gustatory sweating and flushing. And the others had only gustatory sweating symptom. Using Minor starch iodine test, the affected skin area was detected, and it was marked by $1cm^2$ sized grid appearance. After application of EMLA cream on the gustatory sweating area, botulinum toxin A was injected intracutaneously into the affected skin area ($2.5U/cm^2$). Patients were followed up from six to fifteen months (mean, about 12 months) and asked about improvement of their symptoms. Results: The treatement with botulinum toxin A took effective within two days after injection. Six months after injection, gustatory sweating disappeared completely in all patients, and five of six patients who had gustatory flushing improved in their symptom. Last follow-up, no patients complained of recurrent gustatory sweating and flushing except one. One patient, seven months after initial injection, was retreated with botulinum toxin A because of recurrence, and the result was successful. The duration of the effect after botulinum toxin A treatment was ranged from seven to thirteen months. One patient in our series experienced the upper eyelid weakness as adverse effect, but it improved spontaneously. Conclusion: Local injection of botulinum toxin A is an effective, safe and long - lasting method for treatment of Frey's syndrome. Hereafter, however, additional study will be required to evaluate the duration effect of botulinum toxin A according to frequency in use and dosage.

동물복지는 유럽의 소비자들과 시민들에게 상당히 중요하다는 것이 최근의 여론조사에서 확인되었다. 동물복지는 개별동물의 특성이라는 것 때문에 연구자들 뿐만 아니라 다른 사람들도 동물에 근거한 평가기준 (동물에서 측정된 척도, 예를 들면, 동물의 건강과 행동)이 동물복지의 타당한 표식이 될 수 있다고 오래 동안 제안해왔다. 그러므로 복지의 평가기준은 필수적으로 동물을 사용한 평가 척도에 바탕을 둘 수 있으며, 반면에 자원을 근거로 한 평가 기준은 위해요소들을 평가할 수 있는 능력을 제공한다. 이 계획의 첫 번째 목표는 복지를 감시하는 체계를 개발하여 복지의 척도를 접근 가능하고 이해할 수 있는 정보로의 표준화된 변환을 통하여 복지의 상태를 평가할 수 있게 하는 것이다. 한편 얻어진 정보는 동물시설 관리자들에게 제공되어 동물복지의 상태에 대하여 알게 하며, 또 다른 한편으로는 소비자와 소매상에게 동물 관련 제품의 복지 상태에 대한 정보를 제공한다. 두 번째 목표는, 유해한 행동적 및 생리적인 사태의 발생을 최소화하고, 인간과 동물간의 관계를 향상시키며, 그리고 동물에게 안전하고 흥미로운 환경을 제공함으로써, 동물의 복지를 향상시키는 것이다. 포함되어야 할 복지에 대한 다른 측정 가능한 양상들은 복지의 표준들로 변환된다. 이들은, 동물복지과학으로 이해되는 것처럼, 동물에게 의미 있는 것을 반영한다. 일단 동물시설에 대한 모든 평가척도들이 측정되면, 그 시설물의 동물복지에 대한 전반적인 평가를 수행하기 위한 상향식 접근이 있게 된다. 먼저 수집된 자료 (즉, 그 동물 시설에 대한 다른 척도로 얻어진 수치) 는 합쳐져서 표준 점수가 계산된다. 그리고 나서 표준점수는 합쳐져서 원칙 점수가 계산되며, 마지막으로, 얻어진 원칙 점수에 따라서 그 동물 시설에 대한 복지의 범주가 정해진다.
