Abstract
A missense somatic mutation in JAK2 gene (JAK2 V617F) has recently been reported in chronic myeloproliferative disorders, including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia, strongly suggesting its role in the pathogenesis of myeloid disorders. As activation of JAK2 signaling is occurred in other malignancies as well, we have analysed 558 tissues from common human cancers, including colon, breast and lung carcinomas, and 143 acute adulthood leukemias by polymerase chain reaction -- single strand conformation polymorphism analysis. We found three JAK2 mutations in the 113 acute myelogenous leukemias (AMLs) (2.7%), but none in other cancers. The mutations consisted of two V617F mutations and one K607N mutation. None of the AML patients with the JAK2 V617F mutation had a history of previous hematologic disorders. This is the first report on the JAK2 gene mutation in AML, and the data indicated that the JAK2 gene mutation may not only contribute to the development of chronic myeloid disorders, but also to some AMLs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Because it is well known that kidney transplant recipients with preformed lymphocytotoxic antibodies against HLA antigens have increased graft rejection rates, a serological crossmatch is routinely performed before kidney transplantation. But, the presence of these antibodies is not routinely monitored after transplantation. We investigated the panel-reactive antibody (PRA) response to know whether variations before or after kidney transplantation were associated with graft rejection. METHODS We prospectively analyzed sera from 350 renal allograft recipients from September 1998 to March 2003. Pretransplantation and posttransplantation sera at 3 or 5 weeks postoperatively were tested in PRA. Recipients were stratified into 3 groups according to their PRA levels group I, PRA = 0; group II, PRA = less than 50%, and group III, PRA = more than 50%. RESULTS The total graft rejection rate among 350 recipients was 9.4% (n = 33). Twenty-four pretransplantation PRA-positive recipients had a graft rejection rate of 20.8% (n = 5), compared with an 8.6% (n = 28) rate among 326 pretransplantation PRA-negative recipients. Six of 24 posttransplantation PRA-positive recipients (25%) experienced a graft rejection versus 27 (8.3%) of 326 posttransplantation PRA-negative subjects. Among the pretransplantation PRA stratae, the rejection rate in group III was 25% (1 of 4) versus 20% (4 of 20) in group II and 8.6% (28 of 326) in group I (P < .05). According to the postransplantation PRA level, 37.5% (3 of 8) in group III versus 18.8% (3 of 16) in group II and 8.3% (27 of 326) in group I (P < .05) had a graft rejection. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that the PRA response pretransplantation and in the early posttransplantation period correlates with the kidney allograft rejection rate.

Abstract
Numerous studies have reported various prognostic factors that affect graft and patient survival in living and cadaveric donor kidney transplantation (KT). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors affecting graft and patient survivals in living and cadaveric donor KT. Between February 1995 and December 2001, 421 patients who had undergone cadaveric donor KT (group I: 216 cases, 51.3%) or living donor KT (group II: 205 cases, 48.7%), were retrospectively analyzed. Five-year overall graft survival rates in living was significantly better than that in cadaveric donor KT, respectively (P = .0234). There was no difference in patient survival rates between the two groups. Such factors as absence of rejection, female donor, female recipient, adult KT according to recipient age (>14 years), and donor serum creatinine level just before transplantation (< 2.5 mg/dL) were significantly associated with good graft survival among cadaveric donor KT, whereas two factors-absence of rejection and adult KT according to recipient age (>14 years)-influenced graft survival in living donor KT. In multivariate analysis, the only significant prognostic factor related to graft survival was the presence of rejection. In conclusion, we suggest that the presence of rejection is the only factor that impairs graft survival in both cadaveric and living donor KT, while other factors affected graft survival differently in the two groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A bioequivalence study ofprednisolone as Nisolone (test) tablets versus Delta-Cortef (reference) tablets was conducted. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighteen healthy male Korean volunteers received both 20 mg formulations of prednisolone in this 2 x 2 crossover study with a 1-week washout period between the doses. Plasma concentrations of prednisolone were monitored over a period of 12 hours after the administration using high-performance liquid chromatography. The AUC (area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity) and AUCt (area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last sampling time) were calculated using the trapezoidal rule-extrapolation method. The Cmax (maximum plasma drug concentration) and t(max) (time to reach Cmax) were compiled from the plasma concentration-time data. Analysis of variance was carried out using logarithmically transformed AUC, AUCt and Cmax and untransformed t(max). RESULTS The geometric mean of AUCt was 1,786 ng/ml x h (test medication) and 1,787 ng/ml xh (reference medication). A Cmax of 409 ng/ml and 404 ng/ml was achieved for the test and the reference medication, respectively. Point estimates and 90% confidence intervals for AUCt (parametric) and Cmax (parametric) were 0.989 (0.942 approximately 1.039) and 1.013 (0.934 approximately 1.100), respectively. These results satisfy the bioequivalence criteria of the European Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products and the US Food and Drug Administration Guidelines. The corresponding value of t(max) was -0.221 (-0.415 approximately 0.000). CONCLUSION The 2 medications of prednisolone examined are bioequivalent and, thus, may be prescribed interchangeably.

Abstract
Human polyomavirus type BK may be related to interstitial nephropathy or renal-allograft dysfunction. Patients with nephropathy due to infection with human polyomavirus may be identified early using the polymerase chain reaction(PCR). We attempted to evaluate whether the positive response in the PCR test of BK virus DNA in the plasma of renal transplant recipients affects the function of the renal allograft. Seventy-seven patients were prospectively analyzed according to the operative sex, age, sources of allograft, serum creatinine levels during PCR test for BK virus, postoperative type of immunosuppressant, and presence of graft rejection. Two groups were distinguished according to the PCR result for BK virus: group 1 (n = 12) positive PCR reaction and group 2 (n = 65) negative reaction. The mean follow-up was 32.6 weeks. The incidence of positive PCR tests for BK virus replication after renal transplantation was 15.6%. Decoy cells in the urine were detected in 20.7%. The incidence of BK virus nephropathy was 1.3%. The mean serum creatinine levels of group 1 and 2 at the time of the PCR tests were 1.34 and 1.22, respectively. The rejection rates in group 1 and 2 were 8% and 4.5%, respectively (P > .05). We consider that a PCR assay to detect BK virus in renal recipients blood may be useful to identify patients at risk for nephropathy. It may serve as a noninvasive indicator of BK virus replication, although this study is limited by the short follow-up and small numbers.

Abstract
AIM Determination of the bioequivalence of 2 pravastatin tablet formulations manufactured in Korea. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-three healthy male Korean volunteers received each of the 2 pravastatin formulations at a dose of 20 mg in a 2 x 2 crossover study. There was a 1-week washout period between doses. Plasma concentrations of pravastatin were monitored using high-performance liquid chromatography over a period of 8 hours after administration. AUC(0-8h) (the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measured time in plasma, 8 h) was calculated using the linear-log trapezoidal method. Cmax (maximum plasma drug concentration) and tmax (time to reach Cmax) were compiled from the plasma concentration-time data. Analysis of variance was carried out using logarithmically transformed AUC(0-8h) and Cmax and untransformed tmax. RESULTS The point estimates and 90% confidence intervals for AUC(0-8h) (parametric) and Cmax (parametric) were 1.067 (0.968 to approximately 1.176) and 1.074 (0.999 to approximately 1.155), respectively, satisfying the bioequivalence criteria of the European Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products and the US Food and Drug Administration guidelines. The corresponding value of tmax was 0.000 (-0.250 to approximately 0.250). CONCLUSION These results indicate that the 2 medications of pravastatin are bioequivalent and, thus, may be prescribed interchangeably.

Abstract
AIM To study a comparative bioavailability of Liverman capsule to Legaion capsule and Silymarin tablet (which contain silibinin) in 24 healthy volunteers. VOLUNTEERS AND METHODS Twenty-four healthy male Korean volunteers received each medicine at the silibinin dose of 120 mg in a 3 x 3 crossover study. There was a 1-week washout period among the doses. Plasma concentrations of silibinin were monitored by a high-performance liquid chromatography for over a period of 12 hours after the administration. AUCinf (the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time infinity) was calculated by the trapezoidal rule extrapolation method. Cmax (maximum plasma drug concentration) and tmax (time to reach a Cmax) were compiled from the plasma concentration-time data. Analysis of variance was carried out using logarithmically transformed AUCinf, AUC(0-12h), and Cmax and untransformed tmax. RESULTS After an oral administration of Liverman capsule, the pharmacokinetic parameters of silibinin, such as AUC(0-12h) (5.59, 4.24 and 13.9 microg/ml x h for Legalon capsule, Silymarin tablet and Liverman capsule, respectively) and AUCinf (6.00, 4.63 and 15.1 microg/ml x h) were significantly greater, Cmax (1.33, 1.13 and 6.04 microg/ml) was significantly higher and tmax (1.83, 2.10 and 0.875 h) was significantly faster than those after Legalon capsule and Silymarin tablet. CONCLUSION These results indicate that the absorption and the extent of relative oral bioavailability of silibinin after Liverman capsule were significantly faster and greater, respectively, than those after Legalon capsule and Silymarin tablet.

Abstract
The effects of cysteine on the pharmacokinetics of azosemide were investigated after intravenous administration of drug, 10 mg/kg, to male Sprague-Dawley rats pretreated with 3-methylcholanthrene fed on 23% protein diet (control rats) and 5% protein diet without (rats with protein-calorie malnutrition, PCM) or with (rats with PCMC) oral cysteine (250 mg/kg, twice daily starting from the fourth week) for 4 weeks. After intravenous administration to rats with PCM, the metabolites of azosemide excreted in urine and recovered from gastrointestinal tract decreased significantly than those in control rats, however, the plasma concentrations, total area under plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time infinity (AUC) and time-averaged total body clearance (CL) were not significantly different between two groups of rats. It was reported that after intravenous administration of azosemide, 10 mg/kg, to rats with PCMC without pretreatment 3-methylcholanthrene, some pharmacokinetic parameters restored fully or more than the level of control rats; the time-averaged nonrenal clearance and apparent volume of distribution at steady state were comparable to those in control rats, but the terminal half-life and mean residence time were significantly shorter, AUC was significantly smaller, and time-averaged renal clearance and CL were significantly faster than those in control rats. However, the above mentioned effects of cysteine on the pharmacokinetic parameters of azosemide in rats with PCM were not observed with pretreatment with 3-methylcholanthrene.

Abstract
Isometric tension measurement using a selective Rho-kinase inhibitor (+)- (R)-trans4-(1-aminoethyl)-N-(4-pyridyl)cyclohexanecarboxamide (Y-27632) and a selective myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) inhibitor 1-(5-iodonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl)-1H-hexahydro-1,4-diazepine hydrochloride (ML7) were used in rabbit clitoral cavernosum smooth muscle (CSM). N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) was used to evaluate the relationship between NO release and Rho-kinase. Y-27632 significantly attenuated contractions induced by ANG II, dose-dependently. However, ML7 did not affect the contractile response to ANG II except in the high concentrations of ML7. Y-27632 inhibited contraction with phenylephrine (PhE), but ML7 did not inhibit contraction with PhE. Nitric oxide synthase inhibitor (NAME) did not affect the Y-27632-induced relaxation in the pre-contracted strip with PhE. The present study demonstrates that G-protein-coupled increase in myofilament Ca(2+) sensitivity mediated through the RhoA/Rho-kinase signal pathway is involved in the control by ANG II of the clitoral CSM tone. RhoA/Rho-kinase pathway acts in the ANG II-induced contraction independently of the NO pathway.

Abstract
Laser therapy has gained wide acceptance applications to many medical disciplines. The side effect-effects from laser therapy involve the potential for interaction with cellular and extracellular matrix molecules to generate reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species which in turn can initiate lipid peroxidation, protein damage or DNA modification. These issues are addressed in this short overview in the context of experimental models of laser-induced thrombosis.

Abstract
Two-particle azimuthal correlation functions are presented for charged hadrons produced in Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (sqrt [s(NN)]=130 GeV). The measurements permit determination of elliptic flow without event-by-event estimation of the reaction plane. The extracted elliptic flow values (v2) show significant sensitivity to both the collision centrality and the transverse momenta of emitted hadrons, suggesting rapid thermalization and relatively strong velocity fields. When scaled by the eccentricity of the collision zone epsilon, the scaled elliptic flow shows little or no dependence on centrality for charged hadrons with relatively low p(T). A breakdown of this epsilon scaling is observed for charged hadrons with pT >1.0 GeV/c.

Abstract
It was reported that the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time infinity (AUC) of parathion was significantly smaller and the time-averaged total body clearance (CL) of parathion was significantly faster after intravenous administration of parathion to rats pretreated with dexamethasone than those in control rats. This was supported by significantly faster intrinsic clearance of parathion to form paraoxon in hepatic microsomal fraction of rats pretreated with dexamethasone. The above data suggested that parathion was metabolized to paraoxon by dexamethasone-inducible hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A in rats. The purpose of this study is to explain the protective effects of neostigmine against paraoxon toxicity by suppressing CYP3A and hence decreasing formation of toxic metabolite, paraoxon by neostigmine. The pharmacokinetic changes of parathion and its active metabolite, paraoxon, were investigated after intravenous administration of parathion, 3 mg/kg, to control Sprague-Dawley rats and the rats pretreated with neostigmine (200 microg/kg, intraperitoneal injection 30 min before parathion administration). After 1-min intravenous infusion of parathion to rats pretreated with neostigmine, the AUC of parathion (65.1 versus 74.3 microg min/ml) was significantly greater and the CL of parathion (45.1 versus 40.4 ml/min/kg) was significantly slower than those in control rats. Based on in vitro hepatic microsomal studies, neostigmine inhibited significantly the erythromycin N-demethylase activity (1.03 versus 0.871 nmol/mg protein/min), mainly mediated by hepatic cytochrome P450 3A in rats. The above data suggested that the formation of paraoxon was inhibited in rats pretreated with neostigmine by inhibiting CYP3A.

Abstract
We present results on the measurement of Lambda and Lambda(macro) production in Au+Au collisions at square root of (S (NN) = 130 GeV with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The transverse momentum spectra were measured for minimum bias and for the 5% most central events. The Lambda;/Lambda ratios are constant as a function of p(T) and the number of participants. The measured net Lambda density is significantly larger than predicted by models based on hadronic strings (e.g., HIJING) but in approximate agreement with models which include the gluon-junction mechanism.

Abstract
Data from Au + Au interactions at sqrt[s(NN)]=130 GeV, obtained with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider, are used to investigate local net charge fluctuations among particles produced near midrapidity. According to recent suggestions, such fluctuations may carry information from the quark-gluon plasma. This analysis shows that the fluctuations are dominated by a stochastic distribution of particles, but are also sensitive to other effects, like global charge conservation and resonance decays.

Abstract
Identified pi(+/-), K(+/-), p, and (-)p transverse momentum spectra at midrapidity in sqrt[s(NN)] = 130 GeV Au+Au collisions were measured by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC as a function of collision centrality. Average transverse momenta increase with the number of participating nucleons in a similar way for all particle species. Within errors, all midrapidity particle yields per participant are found to be increasing with the number of participating nucleons. There is an indication that K(+/-), p, and (-)p yields per participant increase faster than the pi(+/-) yields. In central collisions at high transverse momenta (p(T) > or =2 GeV/c), (-)p and p yields are comparable to the pi(+/-) yields.

Abstract
Two-pion correlations in square root[s(NN)] = 130 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC have been measured over a broad range of pair transverse momentum k(T) by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. The k(T) dependent transverse radii are similar to results from heavy-ion collisions at square root[s(NN)] = 4.1, 4.9, and 17.3 GeV, whereas the longitudinal radius increases monotonically with beam energy. The ratio of the outwards to sidewards transverse radii (R(out)/R(side)) is consistent with unity and independent of k(T).

Abstract
Transverse momentum spectra of electrons from Au+Au collisions at square root[s(NN)] = 130 GeV have been measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The spectra show an excess above the background from photon conversions and light hadron decays. The electron signal is consistent with that expected from semileptonic decays of charm. The yield of the electron signal dN(e)/dy for p(T) > 0.8 GeV/c is 0.025+/-0.004(stat)+/-0.010(syst) in central collisions, and the corresponding charm cross section is 380+/-60(stat)+/-200(syst) microb per binary nucleon-nucleon collision.

Abstract
The isometric tension measurement and in vitro autoradiography were used in clitoral cavernosum smooth muscle (CSM). Angiotensin ANG III, ANG IV, ANG II and ANG I induced contractions in clitoral CSM strips. ANG III and ANG I- induced contraction was five times less active than ANG II, whereas ANG IV-induced contraction was 1181-fold less potent than ANG II. Contractile responses to ANG III, ANG IV, ANG II and ANG I were significantly inhibited by type 1 ANG II (AT 1) receptor antagonist Dup 753 but not by type 2 ANG II (AT2) receptor antagonist PD 123,319. Pre-treatment with Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor accentuated force of contraction induced by ANG III, ANG IV and ANG II. Amastatin, an aminopeptidase inhibitor enhanced ANG III- and ANG IV-induced contractions. Specific binding sites for 125I-ANG II were found in the clitoral CSM. Specific binding of 125I-ANG II was displaced by unlabeled ANG peptides. This study suggests that the contractile responses to all four peptides of the ANG family are mediated via AT1 receptors but not AT2 receptors. Further, the rank order of potency of contraction was as follows, ANG II> ANG I>ANG III>ANG IV. It is also suggested that peptides of the ANG family have a cross-talk with the NO system and aminopeptidase is involved in the modulation of the tone of clitoral CSM by ANG III and ANG IV.

Abstract
Transverse momentum spectra for charged hadrons and for neutral pions in the range 1 GeV/c<p(T)<5 GeV/c have been measured by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC in Au+Au collisions at root square[s(NN)] = 130 GeV. At high p(T) the spectra from peripheral nuclear collisions are consistent with scaling the spectra from p+p collisions by the average number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions. The spectra from central collisions are significantly suppressed when compared to the binary-scaled p+p expectation, and also when compared to similarly binary-scaled peripheral collisions, indicating a novel nuclear-medium effect in central nuclear collisions at RHIC energies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The most important goal in the management of photosensitive drug eruptions, as in other types of drug eruptions is identification of the causative drugs to prevent reexposure to them. CASE SUMMARIES Seven patients whose lesions were mainly distributed on sun-exposed areas underwent laboratory tests, phototests, and photopatch tests with suspected drugs. Phototests were done with ultraviolet A (UVA), UVB, and visible light. Drugs used in the photopatch tests were usually prepared as 10% concentrations in petroleum base, which did not produce reactions in 10 control subjects, followed by irradiation of suberythema doses of UVA. Systemic provocation by oral administration of small doses of causative drugs with irradiation of suberythema doses of UVA was performed to confirm the results of skin tests in four patients. Two patients were not rechallenged with the causative drugs. None of the patients had systemic lupus erythematosus, porphyria, or pellagra. All showed positive reactions to photopatch testing. Systemic provocation confirmed the results of photopatch tests in four patients. The two patients who were not rechallenged had no recurrence of lesions. One patient ingested only one drug at the time of eruptions, and provocation or avoidance was not attempted. A photoallergic mechanism was considered in five cases. CONCLUSIONS Although there is no information about the appropriate concentrations or vehicles for suspected drugs, photopatch testing could be reliable for identification of causes of photosensitive drug eruptions. Besides piroxicam (a well-known photosensitizer) and carbamazepine, isoniazid and triflusal were identified as the causes of the reactions.
