Lee, Kyung-Lyong,Lee, Bong-Joo,Lee, Han-Duck 서강대학교 경영연구소 2004 서강경영논총 Vol.15 No.2

The purpose of this paper is to investigate key ethical issues and hindrances to ethical behavior faced by professionals working in Korean insurance industry. For this purpose, conducted is a survey of actuaries in a variety of positions in insurance companies and insurance related institutions. The findings also are compared to those of American studies. Actuaries' perceptions of the key ethical issues tend to be restricted to actuarial aspects such as insufficient legal authority to perform professional services in an ethical manner and failure to get adequate ethics training program. But some issues arising in marketing are considered significant similar to the U.S. As a whole, key ethical issues and challenges are not significantly different from the viewpoints of actuaries working in the life and non-life insurance business. Regarding key hindrances to ethical behavior, the 15 factors are presented such as competitive pressures, performance-based evaluation and unethical demand made by clients. These findings are generally similar to those of the U.S. studies.

이기호,김상만,이득주,최희정,한인권 대한비만학회 2003 The Korean journal of obesity Vol.12 No.3

연구배경: 폐경 전후에서의 체중 증가와 여성호르몬과의 연관성이 지속적으로 논의되어왔다 교감 신경계는 지방대사를 촉진하여 대사적 열생산을 증가시키는 작용을 가지고 있으므로 이와 관련하여 베타3아드레날린 수용체의 유전자형이 폐경여성에서 여성호르몬 대체요법 이후의 체중증가와 연관이 있는지를 밝히고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 1995년부터 2002년 5월까지 삼성제일병윈 비만클리닉 및 갱년기 클리닉에 방문하여 여성 호르몬 대체요법을 시행 받았으며, 폐경에 관련한 과거력, 여성 호르몬 투여 전후의 체중, 체질량 지수에 대한 자료를 확보할 수 있곤, 베타3 아드레날린 수용체 유전자의 다형성을 분석한 92명을 최종 연구 대상자로 하였다. 결과: 베타3 아드레날린 수용체 유전자 다형성 분포는 Trp64Trp형 39.1%, Trp64Arg형 25.0%,Arg64Arg형 34.8%,로 나타났다 여성호르몬 투여 전 체중의 평균은 61.07±7.06이었으며, 여성 호르몬대체요법 후 체중 변화의 평균은 1.28±3.20 증가로 나타났으나, 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다 β3 아드레날린 수용체 유전자 아형에 따른 체중의 평균 변화는 Trp64Trp형에서 1.86±2.94 증가, Trp64Arg형 0.74±2.97 증가, Arg64Arg형 1,00±3.61 증가로 나타났으나 이들 모두 통계적 유의성은 없었으며, 세 아형간의 변화량도 유의하지 않았다. 결론: 폐경여성에서 여성호르몬 대체요법 후 체중이 증가하였으나 통계적으로 유의하지 않았으며, β3아드레날린 수용체 유전자 아형에 따른 차이를 관찰할 수 없었다. Background: The study results to determine the relationship between postmenopausal estrogen use and weight gain have not been consistent. Genetic studies have reported the association of BMI with the beta3-adrenergic receptor gene polymorhism. This study as designed to indentify association of beta3-adrenergic receptor gene polymorhism with weight gain related to HRT in postmenopausal women. Methods: 192 postmenopausal women at a general hospital, Bariatric and climacteric clinic have been collected. Subtypes of beta3 adrenergic receptors were measured and physical, anthropomeric data including body fat and BMI was obtained before and after HRT. Results: Arg/Arg group was 34.8%, Trp/Arg group was 25.0%, Trp/Trp group was 39.1%. Mean weight gain in 192 postmenopausal women was 1.28±3.20 kg and the percent changes in weight gain between initial and final point was 2.32±5.66% but these resulst had no statistical significance (p>0.05). Weight gain(%) were 2.24%(95% C.I 0.35~4.13) in Arg/Arg group, 1.08%(-1.17~3.29) in Trp/Arg group and 3.18%(1.49~4.92) in Trp/Trp, but these results did not show statistical significance(F=1.13, p=0.03). Conclusion: Polymorphism of beta3 adrenergic receptor gene was not associated with weight gain after HRT in postmenopausal women. From these results, we may conclude that polymorhism of beta3 adrenergic receptor may not be the predicting factor to understand the weight gain after HRT in postmenopausal women.

주동식,조덕제,이정석,조만기,이응호 동서대학교부설연구소 1997 연구소 논문집 Vol.2 No.-

The extracellular chitinase from Bacillus sp. LJ-25 was pruified Sephadex G-100 gel filtration, DEAE-Cellulose and CM-Spephadex C25 column chromatography. The pruified chitinase showed a single band on disc and SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the molecular weight was estimated to be about 50KDa. The Optimum pH and temperature for the activity of the purified extracellular chitinase were 7.5 and 35℃, respectively. The activity of chitinase was strongly inhibited by metal ions such as Zn²+, Ba²+, Co²+, Mn²+ and Cu²+. The purified chitinase did not hydrolyze N,N??-diacetylchitobiose, N,N, N'-triacetylchitotriose and p-nitrophenol-N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide, which are known to be the substrates of exo-type chitinase. The products in hydolysis of colloidal chitin with the chitinase were N-acetylglucosamine, N,N'-diacetylchitobiose and N,N,N'-triacetylchitotriose.

개에 있어서 耳根部의 Lidocaine 水針에 의한 全身 無痛覺의 誘發

권현주,유건주,이상은,이정연,송근호,김명철,정성목,박성준,김덕환 충남대학교 수의과대학 동물의과학연구소 2004 動物醫科學硏究誌 Vol.12 No.-

Twelve clinically healthy mongrel dogs were used to clarify the possibility of general analgesia induction by lidocaine aquapuncture to auricular root area in the present study. The experimental animals were devided into control (6 heads) and experimental groups (6 heads), respectively. Physiological salines (3 ml/kg) were injected into both auricular root areas in control group. Lidocaine hydrochlorides (3 ml/kg) were injected into both auricular root areas in experimental group. Superficial pain, the changes of vital signs and blood leukocytes, and PCV were examined on pre, 5 min., 15 min., 30 min, and 60 min. after injection in control and experimental groups, respectively. Analgesia was not detected at all in control group, however, all experimental animals were recumbent and analgesia was generally detected in the auricles, noses, dorsal parts, ventral areas, limbs and tails from 5 to 30 minutes after injection with lidocaine hydrochloride into auricular root areas in experimental group. As for the change of vital signs, body temperature showed decreasing tendency from 5 minutes after lidocaine injection in experimental group. Heart rates and respiration rates were increased on 5 minutes after lidocaine injection and then they showed decreasing tendency in experimental group. No significant difference were found among groups. As for the changes of hematological findings, the numbers of blood leukocytes were increased till 15 minutes after lidocaine injection and then they showed decreasing tendency. PCV values were increased on 5 minutes after lidocaine injection, and then they showed decreasing tendency. However, no significant differences were observed among groups. Considering the above findings, it was thought that general analgesia was possible by aquapuncture with lidocaine hydrochloride into auricular root areas and lidocaine aquapuncture didn’t affect so much to the changes of vital signs and blood.

남덕현,김천중,이주형 한국스포츠리서치 2004 한국 스포츠 리서치 Vol.15 No.1

The purpose of this study is to examine the recognition and satisfaction of sport tourism as an area of tourism industry, and show the actual status of sport tourism, suggest the strategies to develop sport tourism goods according to sports tourism resources. This study is based on the survey of residents, physical education teachers, tour industry managers and local government employees, who were asked about what impact sports tourism had on local societies and environments. The data obtained from the returned questionnaire were coded and transcribed for a statistical analysis. collected data were analyzed though SPSS 10.0using such statical methods as a descriptive statistical analysis, chi square test, ANOVA test. With the twenty first century upcoming, sport tourism is recognized as a necessity of life for every person in the world. In addition, the rapid changes of social phenamenons such as the changing of a basic sense of value and life style. the improvement of income, the development of traffic systems, communication facilties, and medias, have a great influence on the desire for sport tourism. Compared with the past tourism that were mostly passive and superficial sight seeing tour, sport tourism is an active and exhilarating tour, therefore sport tourism could provide tourist with satisfaction of needs. Sports tourism is sure to become one of major industries. This study was done with the limited data, so the result does not fully represent the comprehensive impact of sport tourism and strategies of sport tourism resources.

White blood cells (WBCs) are present in most human ejaculates, but abnormally high concentration of seminal leukocytes map reflect an underlying pathological condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined leukocytospermia as status of more than 10^(6) WBC/mL of semen. The purpose of this study was firstly, to compare the outcomes between conventional IVF and ICSl in leukocytospermia, and secondly, to investigate whether ICSI may be an alternation treatment for patients with leukocytospermia. Total 346 cycles of conventional IVF and ICSI candidates underwent IVF cycles at Eulji Hospital Infertility Clinic. Semen Parameters including concentration, motility, morphology of spermatozoa and concentration of leukocytes were assessed from the raw ejaculates. There was no difference in sperm concentration, motility and morphology. The rates of fertilization and good embryo development from ICSI were significantly higher than those from conventional IVF in leukocytospermia (60.4% & 32.5% respectively for ICSI group and 44.4% & 28.5%, respectively for IVF group, P<0.001). The pregnancy rate after ICSI was also higher than that from conventional IVF (34.0% vs 29.1%. P<0.05). These results indicate that the presence of seminal leukocyes (>1×10^(6) WBC/mL of semen) is adversely related with fertilization, embryo development and pregnancy rate. Therfore the measurement of seminal leukocytes in routine semen analysis appears to be of prognostic value with regard to male fertilizing potential. In conclusion. it is suggested that ICSI is an alternative choice of treatment for patients with leukocytospermia.

Evans의 분류법으로 골절을 분류하여 안정성, 불안정성 골절은 30례, 41례였다. 평균 골 유합 시비는 13.8주였고, 대퇴경간각은 수술직후 131.9 ± 5.21˚, 129.9 ± 6.04˚ 였으며 평균지연나사의 활강은 4.21±4.13㎜였다. 수술시간은 평균 61분, 출혈량은 평균 0.67pint(134cc)였다. 술중 합병증으로는 정복 실패 1례, 원위고정나사 삽입시 피질골 골절 1례, drill bit 파손 1례가 있었으며, 술후 합병증으로는 대퇴 경간각 소실(5도이상) 12례, 경부골절의 발생이 2례, 지연나사의 관절내 돌출 1례였다. 결 론 : 대퇴골 전자부 골절의 치료로 근위 대퇴정은 정확한 삽입 위치, 삽입시의 조심스러운 확공, 지연나사의 연골하 골에 단단하게 고정시키는 등의 주의를 한다면 수술시간, 출혈량 감소 등의 술중 합병증을 줄이고, 견고한 내고정을 통한 조기 보행을 가능하게 하며, 좋은 골유합 등이 기대되므로, 특히 고령, 분쇄골절, 역행성 골절, 골다공증이 심한 경우에서 바람직한 수술방법으로 사료된다. Purpose : To evaluate the treatment results of geriatric intertochanteric fractures using a proximal femoral nail. Materials and Methods : From April 2001 to February 2002, 71 cases of the intertrochanteric fractures involving lesser trochanter, transverse or reverse oblique intertrochanteric fracture. We evaluated the bone union time, neck-shaft angle, lag screw sliding by follow up radiographs, operation time, blood loss and complications. Results : The average age was 77.5 years old, the mean duration of follow-up was 9 months and the mean duration of bone union was 13.8 weeks. The average neck-shaft angle on immediate postop. x-ray was 131.9 ± 5.21˚ and 129.9 ± 6.04˚ at last follow up and the average lag screw sliding was 4.21 ± 4.13㎜. The average operation time was 61 minutes and blood loss was 0.67 pints(134cc). Intraoperative complications were inadequate reduction in one case, difficulty in distal transfixing in one case and drill bit failure in one case and postoperative complications were loss of neck-shaft angle(more than 5 degree) in 12 cases, femur neck fracture in 2 cases and intraarticular cutting out of femur neck screw in one case. Conclusions : The use of the proximal femoral nail could be appropriate for the fixation of communited or reverse oblique intertrochanteric fracture in elderly, osteroporotic patients for early ambulation, preventing shortening and rotation deformity, and reducing operation time and blood loss.

전공의들의 직업적 유해인자 및 직업만족도

송혜란,김진하,변주현,이광영,이덕희,김호찬 大韓産業醫學會 2003 대한직업환경의학회지 Vol.15 No.3

목적: 전공의는 여러 유해인자에 노출되어지고 있으며 과중한 업무로 인한 수면 부족에 시달리고 있다. 본 연구는 전공의의 건강상태의 기초 자료를 제공하고 향후개선 방안을 도출하기 위하여 시행하였다. 방법: 연구대상은 2000년 3사관학교와 국군군의학교에 입소한 전체 1,316명 중 전공의 수련과정 없이 입대한 의사와 치과의사, 한의사를 제외한 881명을 대상으로 설문지를 배포하여 784부(회수율: 89.0%)를 회수하고 이중 분석이 가능한 704(79.9%)명의 자료를 최종 분석하였다. 결과: 월평균 당진횟수는 레지던트 1년차에서 19회 정도이었다. 당직 시 평균 수면시간은 레지던트 1년차에서 4시간미만 이었다. 수련기간 동안 전공의의 20%이상에서 방사선, 레이저, 살균소독제, 마취가스, 항암제에 노출되었으며 예방대책은 방사선과 레이저의 노출의 경우 35%정도를 제외하고는 10%내외로 조사되었다. 연구대상자중 91.1%에서 수련기간 동안 주사침이나 시술에 의해 손상을 입었으며 그 중 본인이 감염된 경우는 HBV 2.3%(4명), HCV 0.6%(1명)으로 조사되었다. 응답자의 28.4%에서 자신의 직업에 불만족 하였으며 96.5%가 과중한 업무부담을 느꼈고 69.5%가 동일한 임금수준에서 직업을 바꾸고자 한다고 응답하였다. 결론: 전공의는 수련기간 동안 물리적, 화학적, 생물학적 유해인자에 노출되고 있었으나 이에 대한 보호나 예방대책은 거의이루어지지 않고 있었으며 과중한 업무부담으로 수면부족을 초래하여 가장 중요한 환자 진료에 지장을 받고 있었다. 수련기간 동안 대다수가 의사로서 직업에 대한 흥미를 가지고 있었으나 업무부담과 진료이외의 업무 등으로 소득과 조건이 비슷하다면 다른 직업을 선택하고자 하였다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 전공의들을 위한 유해인자의 보호대책 및 예방대책을 마련하며 과중예방대책이 마련되어야 하고 업무환경개선 및 업무로 인한 건강장해에 대한 정당한 보상이 향후에 마련되어야 할 것이다. Objects: Residents are exposed to various hazards and harassed by sleep dificiency due to overwork. This study was performed to outline the health condition of residents and develop the ways of improving it. Mehtods: A questionnaire was distributed to 881 army doctors who enrolled at the Korea Third Military Academy and The Armed force Health Service School in 2000 with the exception of medical doctors who joined the armed service without going through intern and resident periods, dental and oriental medical doctors. 784(89.0%) of the 881 questionnaires were resident of which 704 cases (79.9%). This should actually be 89.0% were regarded for analyses as being reliable data. Results: More than 20% of residents were exposed to radiation, laser, disinfectants, anesthetic gas, and anticancer drugs during their training periods with preventive neasures for each of these hazards taken in about 10% of the cases of the lesser hazards but in about 35% for the hazards from radiation and laser. 91.1% of residents had experience of needlestick injuries during theirtraining periods with over 36.3% being exposed to patients with infection during that time. The cases contracting HBV and HCV diseases due to pricking are 2.3% and 0.6% respectively. The average number of night duties per month during a one-year resident's period was about 10. The average sleeping time on duty during a one-year residents was less than 4 hours. 28.4% of respondents were not satisfied with their occupation, 96.5% delt tired from overwork and 69.5% wanted to change their occupation to another that would pay the same salary. Conclusion: Residents are exposed to harmful physical, chemical and biological factors, but the preventive care seldom undertaken. In addition, their overwork brings about lack of sleep which causes them problems when giving medical treatment to patients during their training periods. Despite the resident's interest in an occupation as a doctor, many intend to select other occupations if they can receive the same salary. According to the above results, preventative systems and measures should be prepared with environmental improvements for residents, and proper rewards for their overwork should be accomplished
