목적: ^(99m)Tc-lactosylated serum albumin (^(99m)Tc-LSA)은 간세포에 특이적으로 결합하는 간수용체 영상용 방사성의약품으로 새로이 합성되었다. 간섬유화를 유발하는 dimethylnitrosamine (DMN)을 투여한 간 손상 휜쥐 모델에서 ^(99m)Tc-LSa의 역동학적인 간섭취를 조사하고 간효소치의 변화와 조직학적 소견을 비교하여, LSA의 간섭취가 간기능의 변화를 반영하는지를 연구하였다. 대상 및 방법: SD계 흰쥐에 DMN를 27 mg/kg으로 복강 내 주사하여 급성 간손상을 유도하고 대조군과 비교하였다. DMN을 주사한 흰쥐를 3일(DMN-3), 8일(DMN-8), 21일(DMN-21)에 ^(99m)Tc=LSA (1,665 mg/kg) 29 MBq를 정맥 주사하여, 30분 동안 동적 영상을 획득하고 간과 신장부위에 관심영역을 설정하여 간과 심장부위의 시간방사능 곡선을 얻었다. 간기능 평가를 위해 시간방사능 곡선을 이용하여 간섭취지수와 혈중제거지수를 구하였고 곡선 최적화를 시행하였다. DMN 투여군과 대조군의 간효소치의 변화와 간조직의 광학현미경 소견을 비교하였다. 결과: 대조군에서는 ^(99m)Tc-LSA가 빠르게 간에 섭취되고 혈중에서 제거되었으나 DMN을 처리한 군에서는 간섭취가 낮았다. 간섭취지수의 비교에서 대조군에 비해 DMN 처리군에서 유의하게 간섭취지수가 낮았다(DMN-3: 0.842, DMN-8: 0.898, DMN-21: 0.91, 대조군: 0.96, p<0.05). 혈중제거지수의 비교에서도 대조군에 비해 DMN 처리군에서 혈중제거지수가 유의하게 높았다(DMN-3: 0.731, DMN-8: 0.654, DMN-21: 0.604, 대조군: 0.473, p<0.05). 비선형 회귀분석에서 R_(2) 값은 0.9이상으로 좋은 일치를 보였고, 대조군에ㅓ K값이 DMN처리군에 비해 크고(DMN-3: 0.28, DMN-8: 0.41, DMN-21: 0.46, 대조군: 0.97, p<0.05), T_(1/2)값은 작았다(DMN-3: 2.5, DMN-8: 1.7, DMN-21: 1.5, 대조군: 0.7, p<0.05). 간효소치의 변화는 DMN-3군에서는 대조군에 비해 상승하였으나 DMN-8, DMN-21군에서는 간효소치의 상승이 관찰되지 않았다. 간조직 소견의 경우 DMN-3군에서 중심정맥 주위에 괴사가 관찰되었으나 DMN-8군, DMN-21군에서는 미약한 정도의 염증세포 침윤만이 관찰되었다. 결론: ^(99m)Tc-LSA 간신티그래피의 간섭취 정도는 간손상과 반비례하였으며 간섭취의 변화는 조직학적 손상이 심한 정도와 간손상후 회복되는 과정을 반영하여 주었다. ^(99m)Tc-LSA 간신티그래피가 간손상을 평가하고 간손상후 회복되는 과정을 추적하는 간수용체 영상용 방사성 의약품으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. Objects: ^(99m)Tc-lactosylated human serum albumin(LSA) is a newly synthesized radiopharmaceutical that binds to asialoglycoprotein receptors, which are specifically presented on the hepatocyte membrane. Hepatic uptake and blood clearance of LSA were evaluated in rat with acute hepatic injury induced by dimethylnitrosamine(DMN) and results were compared with corresponding findings of liver enzyme profile and these of histologic changes. Materials and Methods: DMN (27 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally in Sprague-Dawley rat to induce acute hepatic injury. At 3(DMN-3), 8(DMN-8), and 21(DMN-21) days after injection of DMN, LSA injected intravenously, and dynamic images of the liver and heart were recorded for 30 minutes. Time-activity curves of the heart and liver were generated from regions of interest drawn over liver and heart area. Degree of hepatic uptake and blood clearance of LSA were evaluated with visual interpretation and semiquantitative analysis using parameters (receptor index : LHL3 and index of blood clearance : HH3), analysis of time-activity curve was also performed with curve fitting using Prism program. Results: Visual assessment of LSA images revealed decreased hepatic uptake in DMN treated rat, compared to control group. In semiquantitative analysis, LHL3 was significantly lower in DMN treated rat group than control rat group (DMN-3:0.842, DMN-8: 0.898, DMN-21: 0.91, Control: 0.96, p<0.05), whereas HH3 was significantly higher than control rat group (DMN-3: 0.731, DMN-8: 0.654, DMN-21: 0.604, Control: 0.473, p<0.05). AST and ALT were significantly higher in DMN-3 group than those of control group. Centrilobular necrosis and infiltration of inflammatory cells were most prominent in DMN-3 group, and were decreased over time. Conclusion: The degree of hepatic uptake of LSA was inversely correlated with liver transaminase and degree of histologic liver injury in rat with acute hepatic injury.

혈액 투석 환자에서 중심정맥 협착에 대한 스텐트 삽입술 : Wallstent Placement

임대승,노상필,이유선,정승현,김보영,이정우,강정아,김정희,이민수,정준용,최시완,정진옥,성인환,이강욱,신영태 충남대학교 의과대학 의학연구소 2002 충남의대잡지 Vol.29 No.1

Stenosis of central vein is a common complication arising after percutaneous subclavian vein catheter insertion performed for temporary vascular access in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis. There are several treatment methods for the condition like percutaneous angioplasty(PTA), stent insertion, and surgery, but recent trend is toward PTA and stents. Among the patients diagnosed with chronic renal failure from March 1993 to May 2002 and undergoing hemodialysis through AV fistula, the 14 Patients in whom central vein stenosis arose were selected for the study. A total of 28 percutaneous interventions(5 PTA and 23 stent placement) were performed, and restenosis rate and the time taken till the restenosis in de novo lesions and instant lesions were compared. All 28 cases were operated successfully. The 14 cases that received both anigioplasty and stent placement initially. (de novo lesion : 14 cases), Among the 10 cases with de novo lesion that followed up more than 1 year, 3 cases are currently undergoing hemodialysis without restenosis, and the remaining 7 cases have recurred stenosis with the mean time to restenosis of 10.9 months. In the 7 cases in whom stenosis recurred, 11 interventions were done(instent lesion: 11 cases). 4 of these were using only ballon angioplasty with 100% restenosis rate and the mean time of 3 months until restenosis. The remaining 7 cases were using both balloon angioplasty and stent placement, also with 100% restenosis rate but with the mean time of 12 months until restenosis, which was later than the group receiving only balloon angioplasty. In treating the patients with central vein stenosis, stent placement seems to be more advantageous over PTA in terms of restenosis rate and the mean duration of patency. In the case of instent lesion, inserting the stent for the second time after stenosis recurred lengthened the duration of patency compared to performing balloon angioplasty alone.

Drug Information Centers(DICs) are responsible for providing updated and relevant drug information on the efficacy, safety and quality of drugs to health-care practitioners and finally to patients. After the establishment of new prescription law(Bunup)' on August 2000, the future direction for DICs is strongly needed to provide specified, appropriate and rapid information to health-card practitioners and patients. This project was undertaken to provide a future direction of DICs via comparing differences of Q&A before and after Bunup, based on the analysis of Q&A worksheets that were conducted from August 1999 to July 2001 at Drug Information Research Institute(DIRI) of Sookmyung Women's University. In addition, feedback sheets were collected from the users of DIRI from April 2001 to August 2001, to evaluate the satisfaction scores by '5-point Likert scale' on the response. The number of inquiries responded by DIRI was increase from 201 to 574 and the most frequently asked inquirers were pharmacists, specifically community pharmacists. The mean time to respond before and after Bunup was 5.35 and 4.68 hours, respectively. The method of inquiry utilized the most was electronic mailing system followed by telephone both before and after Bunup(66.2% vs. 65.7% via e-mail, from 32.8% vs. 32.4% via telephone). The most frequently asked category of question was on the 'clinical drug' category both before and after Bunup (79% vs. 73.6%). The tertiary literature was the most frequently used reference to answer the inquiries. Mean feedback result via questionnaires was good. That included accuracy, quality of information, time to respond, attitude of provider, accessibility, etc. The most increased inquirer after Bunup was general person, compared with before. Therefore DICs should provide separate responds according to inquirers, develop the systemic program to improve the response for each request, have systemic Q&A worksheet, and develop the educational program for drug information providers. DICs should continuously provide more appropriate and rapid information to health-care practitioners and patients.

신성희,장정수,임용 조선대학교 2000 The Medical Journal of Chosun University Vol.25 No.2

본 연구를 통해 얻어진 연구결과를 요약하면 광주지방에서 분리된 황색포도상구균의 항생제 내성율은 AMXCCV, CPFX, CLM, EM, GM, OXAC, PCV, SXT, VM, CTX, IMPM에 대해 각각 61.0, 65.3, 50.0, 76.5, 76.6, 66.9, 96.7, 15.6, 0, 87.5, 95.5%로 조사되었다. 각각의 항생제에 대해 내성을 보이는 균과 감수성을 보이는 균으로 양분한 다음 다른 항생제들에 대한 감수성 정도를 조사한 결과에 의하면 각각의 항생제에 대해 내성을 보이는 균들은 감수성을 보이는 균들에 비해 다른 항생제에 대해서도 감수성이 낮았다. MRSA는 약 67%로 비교적 높은 비율로 분리되었으나 최근 5년 동안 비율이 크게 변화되지 않았다. MRSA는 사용한 항생제 중 SXT와 VM에 대해서만 높은 감수성을 보였을 뿐 효과가 있는 것으로 알려졌던 다른 항생제들에 대해서는 높은 내성율을 보였다. Objectives : The emergence of Staphylococcus aureus showing multi-drug resistance emphasizes the importance of the prudent use of antibiotics. To survey and obtain the basic information for reappraisal of practical usefulness, we investigated the profiles of antimicrobial resistance of S. aureus isolated recently in Gwangju area. Materials and Methods : S. aureus was isolated from community-hospitals in Gwangju and finally identified by coagulase test. The standard disc diffusion method was used for antimicrobial susceptibility test. Results : The resistance ratio of S. aureus against amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin, oxacillin, phenoxymethyl penicillin, trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole, vancomycin, cefotaxime, and imipenem/cilastatin was 61.0, 65.3, 50.0, 76.5, 76.6, 66.9, 96.7, 15.6, 0, 87.5, and 95.5%, respectively. Resistant strains to each antibiotic were more resistant to the other antibiotics than susceptible strains. The ratio of oxacillin-resistant S. aureus (ORSA) in this area has not increased for recent five years. However, the resistance of ORSA against cefotaxime and ciprofloxacin has increased significantly. ORSA was still susceptible to trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (78.3%) and vancomycin (100%) Conclusion : These results offer the latest information about the antimicrobial resistance of S. aureus in Gwangju area and will be used hr reappraisal and selection of antibiotics effective against S. aureus.

Ultrasound is very useful in evaluation of obstructive jaundice. We retrospectively evaluated the useful findings of ultrasonography in differentiating benign extrahepatic duct obstruction from malignant diseases. Among the 36 patients, 25 patients were benign extrahepatic obstruction and 11 patients were malignant obstruction. The shapes of extrahepatic dilatation were classified into fustiform, meniscus, and abrupt cut off by bowel gas. The diameter, length, and bile duct wall-interface were compared between benign and malignant groups and serum bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase were also compared between two groups retrospectively. The results were as follows. The most common form of extrahepatic dilatation was meniscus(10 of 26 patients, 38%) in benign obstruction, and fusiform(8 of 11 patients, 73%) in malignant obstruction. No significant difference was noted in diameter, length, serum bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase between benign and malignant groups. Only one case showed decreased bile duct wall-interface in benign obstruction, but loss or decrease of bile duct wall-interface were 8 patients in malignant obstruction. The combined findings of fusiform dilatation and loss of bile duct wall-interface in ultrasonography will be helpful in differential diagnosis of malignant extrahepatic bile obstruction from benign conditions.

신시옥,송창근,이동욱,최영석,진흥률,신정우,윤희석 충북대학교 의학연구소 2001 忠北醫大學術誌 Vol.11 No.1

연구목적: 이성대상포진에 동반되는 안면신경마비는 Bell's palsy와는 달리 예후가 더 나쁘고 그 마비가 완전히 회복되지 않는 경우가 더 많다.본 연구에서는 이성대상포진에서 발현되는 증상들의 유무가 치료 전 안면신경마비의 정도 및 치료 후 예후와 상관관계가 있는지를 관찰하여 예후의 예측인자에 대해 분석하였다. 재료 및 방법: 지난 1992년 1월부터 1999년 6월까지 이성대상포진으로 진단받고 본원에 입원하여 고용량 부신피질호르몬제와 항바이러스제인 acyclovir의 병합투여로 동일한 치료를 받은 30명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적으로 의무기록을 분석 및 고찰하였으며, 치료 전 안면마비의 정도와 치료 후 마비의 회복 정도를 이통, 이명, 난청, 현훈 등의 증상의 유무와 치료 시작 시기, 그리고 안면신경의 electroneuronography(ENoG) 값에 따라 비교하였다. 결과: 이성대상포진수포가 안면신경마비 보다 먼저 발현된 경우에 안면신경마비의 치료 전 grade가 통계적으로 유의하게 좋았다(p<0.05).이통, 청력손실, 그리고 현훈의 유무에 따른 안면신경마비의 정도는 상관관계가 없었고 예후에도 차이가 없었다.이명의 유무에 따른 치료 전 안면신경마비의 정도는 상관관계가 없었으나 치료 후 완전회복율은 이명이 있었던 군에서 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(p=0.003<0.05).완전회복군과 불완전회복군 사이의 치료 전 ENoG의 수치는 통계적으로 유의하게 예후와 상관이 있었다(p=0.037<0.05). 결론: 좀더 많은 수의 환자를 연구에 포함하여 증상에 따른 예후의 차이를 연구하는 것이 필 요하며 또한 ENoG 값이 10%에서 40% 사이인 환자들의 치료 방법에 대한 고려와 이성대상포진수포가 안면신경마비보다 먼저 생긴 환자에서 치료 전 마비정도가 경미했던 이유에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. Purpose: Herpes zoster oticus generally has a poor prognosis, leaving many patients with permanent facial nerve dysfunction, compare to Bell's palsy.Acyclovir and prednisolone have been widely used for the treatment of herpes zoster oticus.This retrospective study was conducted to suggest the prognostic factors according to various symptoms. Materials and Methods : Clinical studies were retrospectively performed on 30 patients with herpes zoster oticus who were treated with acyclovir and prednisolone in the Chungbuk National University Hospital between 1991 and 1999.The authors analyze the pre-treatment grade and prognosis of facial nerve palsy according to symptoms(the existence of otalgia, tinnitus, hearing loss, and vertigo), the treatment onset, and electroneuronography ( ENoG ). Results : Of thirty patients who have been diagnosed as herpes zoster oticus, there is no significant difference in the pre-treatment grade of facial nerve palsy according to the existence of vesicle, otalgia, tinnitus, vertigo, and hearing loss.Of 25 patients who have facial nerve palsy, the recovery from the palsy is complete in 14 patients(56%).There is no significant difference in the pre-treatment grade of facial nerve palsy according to the existence of otalgia, tinnitus, vertigo, and hearing loss.The pre-treatment grade of facial palsy is better when the vesicles precede facial in the group with tinnitus than without tinnitus.A significant difference of the prognosis according to the onset of treatment and other symptoms are not found.ENoG is better in the group that facial nerve palsy is completely recovered than incomplete recovery group. Conclusion : Reliable prognostic factor according to symptoms is not found, ENoG is the only prognostic factor.

The blood supply and metabolism of malignant nodules are qualitatively and quantitatively different from those of most benign nodules. We evaluated the efficacy of dynamic CT for differentiation of benign malignant lesions. Thirty-six patients with malignant nodule(n=20), tuberculoma(n=7), and pneumonic consolidation(n=9) were evaluated by thin section dynamic CT. CT numbers of lesion and aorta were measured before enhancement, and 1 minute, and 3 minutes after enhancement. Malignant lesions(maximum, 31.1±10.7 HU) enhanced significantly more than tuberculoma(maximum, 13.5±12.9 HU), but mass/aorta ratios were not so significantly different between malignant lesions(maximum, 0.61±0.27), tuberculoma(maximum, 0.36±0.15), and pneumonic consolidation(maximum,0.49±0.14). Dynamic CT is very useful for differentiation of malignant lesions from tuberculoma.

It is Important to know the normal size, shape, and signal intensity of anterior cruciate ligament in the evaluation of knee injury Many studies have reported findings of tear or rupture as well as normal anatomy of these structure, especially with MR images. To our knowledge, there are few studies about normal structures of anterior cruciate ligament in MR images. The purpose of this study is to compare normal finding with tear of anterior cruciate ligament on MRI. Twenty-three cases with rupture of anterior cruciate ligament were evaluated on MRI, measuring the length, thickness, width of anterior cruciate ligament, and angles of anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. Mean length, thickness, and width of anterior cruciate ligament in patients with rupture were 37.7±4.8mm, 9.0±1.2mm, 8.0±0.8mm, and mean angles of anterior cruciate ligament, and posterior cruciate ligament were 48.1±9.6˚, 118.8±13.1˚. Curvature ratio of posterior cruciate ligament was 0.25±0.09. The results showed significant differences between normal persons and patients with complete or partial rupture, and the mean angle and curvature ratio of posterior cruciate ligament which are known to related with indirect sign in tear of anterior cruciate ligament showed significant differences between ours and that of western countries. These results will be useful in the evaluation of patient wish rupture of anterior cruciate ligament, especially on MRI.
