Objectives : Pneumoconisis and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) have been reported as main occupational diseases by the Special Health Examination. The Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance has reported various work-related diseases, however, these two diseases occupied almost a half of compensated cases. Therefore, it was not well known about the status of occupational diseases other than pneumoconiosis, NIHL, and cardio-cerebrovascular accident (CVA). This study was conducted to analyze claimed cases as an occupational disease, that was requested to the Korea Industrial Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA). Methods : The local office of the Korea Labor Welfare Corporation (KLWC) has asked the KOSHA for confirmation of claimed cases as an occupational disease. We analyzed 379 cases requested from KLWC, the Ministry of Labor, employers, unions and occupational health agencies from 1992 to 1999. Results : Male was 80.7 % of the requested cases. Their mean age was 42 years old and 75.5 % of them were more than 35 years old. The requested cases were increased rapidly from 25 cases in 1992 to 108 cases in 1999 and the accept rate was 50.7 %. The majority of requested cases were respiratory diseases(22.4%), cancers(18.5%), Neuropsychiatric problems(14.5%), and musculoskeletal problems(13.5%). The accept rate was high in reproductive, respiratory, musculoskeletal and digestive disorders and low in neuropsychiatric, renal and otologic problems and occupational cancers. 73.6% of them were caused by chemical agents, especially 28.5 % were by organic solvents. 67% of them were clinically confirmed at university hospitals. A half of the cases were from KyongIn area, even the request came from the whole country. Conclusions : A claim was common in workers whose age was over 35 years old and exposure history was over 10 years. The respiratory diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders were still main problems in occupational health and occupational cancers was increasing even though its accept rate was not high yet.

목적 : 2002년 말 중국에서 SARS가 발생한 이후 국내에서도 2003년 10월까지 총 3명의 추정환자, 17명의 의심환자가 보고되었다. 향후 추가적인 SARS의 유행이 우려되는 상황에서, 그간의 SARS 환자 진료에 있어서의 실질적인 준비사항, 진료 현황 등에 대한 조사를 통해 문제점을 파악하여, 향후 더 나은 대비가 될 수 있도록 개선점을 제시하고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : SARS로 의심되는 환자를 진료 경험이 있는 병원의료진을 대상으로 2003년 10월에 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문에는 SARS 환자 진료 시의 실질적인 조치, 진료 현황, 병실, 응급실 및 외래에서의 격리 시설과 준비사항, 보건당국의 관리와 지원에 관한 사항을 포함하였다. 결과 : 대상이 되는 22개 병원 중 17개(17/22, 77.2%) 병원이 설문에 응하였다. SARS 환자를 위한 격리실은 응급실, 외래, 일반병실 및 중환자실에서 각각 9개(9/17, 52.9%), 5개(5/17, 29.4%), 15개(15/16, 93.7%), 4개(4/16, 25%) 병원에서 음압처리가 되어있지 않은 일인실 혹은 다인실이 사용되었고, 1개(1/16, 6.3%) 병원에서만 일반병실에서 음압격리실이 운영되었다. 입원환자의 진찰 시 개인보호구의 착용은 거의 모든 의료기관에서 이루어졌다. 보건당국에서 SARS지정병원의 시설 등을 사전에 확인한 곳은 1곳(1/12, 8.3%)이였고, 14개 병원(14/15, 93.3%)에서는 보건당국에 의뢰한 검사결과를 통하 받지 못하였다. 결론 : 의료기관에서 SARS 환자용 격리실뿐만 아니라 기존의 격리실 설비 등이 미흡하였으며, 특히 중환자실 및 외래의 준비가 더욱 부족하였다. 보건당국의 의료기관에 대한 종합적인 지원이 부족하였고, 병원과의 원활한 연계가 잘 이루어지지 않았다. SARS 만이 아닌 격리를 필요로 하는 질환의 적절한 진료를 위해 향후 병원 시설의 정비와 정부차원에서의 보다 구체적이고 실질적인 대책마련이 필요하다. Background : There was an worldwide outbreak of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) originated from China in late 2002. During that period three cases of suspected SARS and 17 cases of probable SARS were reported in Korea. With the concerns about the reemergence of SARS-coV transmission, it is important to be prepared for any possibility. So, this study is aimed to analysis the past measures in managing SARS and propose the amendatory plans to improve the preparedness. Materials & Methods : Questionnaires were collected among clinicians with any experience in managing the probable or suspected SARS cases in Oct. 2003. 17 out of 22 hospitals responded to the questionnaire. The contents in the questionnaire were practical activities, personal equipments, response plans, isolation facilities in emergency centers, outpatient clinics, general wards and intensive care units, and relationship with the public health department. Results : The dedicated isolation rooms in emergency centers, outpatient clinics, general wards, and intensive care units were prepared in 9 (9/17, 52.9%), 5 (5/17, 29.4%), 15 (15/16, 93.7%), and 4 (4/16, 25.0%) hospitals, respectively. Except for one hospital that newly made negative pressure room for SARS, single or multi-bed rooms without airborne infection control were used in all the other hospitals. The personal precaution principles were kept quite well in general wards. Before the designation of SARS hospital by the public health department prior evalution to see if the hospital was suitable for managing SARS was conducted in only 1 (1/12, 8.3%) hospital. The results of laboratory diagnosis were reported back in 1 (1/15, 6.6%) hospital. Conclusions : The isolation facilities which can control airborne infection were almost deficient not only for SARS but also for other respiratory transmissible diseases. For the infection control of transmissible diseases including SARS, more investment is needed on medical facilities and comprehensive support from the public health department required.

최준혁,이관우,김효정,이동훈,이종우,김정은,엄현채,김경미,최성이,정윤석,김현만 대한내분비학회 2002 Endocrinology and metabolism Vol.17 No.5

연구배경: 제2형 당뇨병에서 나타나는 인슐린 저항성은 간, 지방, 근육 같은 말초조직에서 인슐린의 작용이 떨어지는 것을 말한다. 제2형 당뇨병의 발생기전에 인슐린 저항성과 인슐린 분비능 저하가 같이 관여함은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 인슐린의 세포내에서의 저항성을 규명하기 위한 인슐린의 세포내 신호전달체계에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며 몇몇 연구에서 인슐린 저항성을 가진 골격근육에서 IRS와 관련된 PI3-kinase의 활성감소와 Akt kinase의 활성감소를 보고하고 있으나 아직까지 명확하게 그 기작이 설명되어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 정상성인, 제2형 당뇨병 환자를 대상으로 경구당부하검사 및 인슐린 클램프검사를 시행하고 인슐린 클램프 검사시 대상인의 근육을 채취하여 인슐린 신호전달 체계(IR-β, IRS, Akt(PKB, Rac) kinase, GSK-3)를 연구하였다. 방법: 연구대상자는 한국인으로서 경구당부하검사상 정상인 및 당뇨병 환자 각각 11명, 9명을 대상으로 하였으며, 정상인은 건강인으로 과거력상 당대사에 영향을 줄 질환이 없고, 현재 당대사에 영향을 줄 약물 복용 및 다른 소견이 없는 경구당부하검사상 정성 내당능을 보이는 대상자로 하였다. 당뇨병환자는 모두 제2형 당뇨병 환자로 이환기간이 만 5년 이내인 경우로 하고, 인슐린으로 치료하는 대상자는 제외하도록 하였다. 대상자의 연령, 체질량지수, 체지방량, 공복시 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 고밀도지단백 콜레스테롤 및 HbA1c, 인슐린, C-peptide를 측정하였고, "HOMA model"을 이용하여 베타세포의 기능와 인슐린저항성 정도를 평가하였다. 정상혈당클램프 검사(euhlycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp test)를 시행하고 인슐린 투입 전과 인슐린 투입 30분후, 두차례에 걸쳐 대퇴부 근육생검을 실시한후 western 법으로 IR-β, IRS, Akt kinase, GSK-3의 인산화량을 측정하였다. 결과: 정상인 11명과 당뇨병 환자 9명을 대상으로 하였으며 대상자의 평균 연령, 평균 체질량지수, 체지방량, 허리/엉덩이 둘레의 비(waist hip ratio; WHR)는 두 군간에 차이가 없었다. 평균 공복혈당은 정상군 98.0±0.3㎎/dL, 당뇨병군 208.1±16.5㎎/dL(p<0.05), HbA1c는 정상군 5.4±0.5%, 당뇨병군 9.2±0.6%(p<0.05)였다. "HOMA model"을 이용한 베타세포의 기능과 인슐린저항성은 정상군 56.4±8.5%, 1.4±0.2, 당뇨병군 72.2±52.3%(p<0.01), 10.2±6.3(p<0.01)였으며 정상혈당클램프 검사상 포도당 이용률은 정상군 8.2±0.6㎎/㎏/min, 당뇨병군 3.7±1.1㎎/㎏/min(p<0.01)로 정상군과 당뇨병군간에 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. Western blot법으로 IR-β, IRS, Akt kinase, GSK-3의 인산화량을 인슐린 투입전과 인슐린 투입 30분후 측정하였을 때 IR-β에서는 정상군이 103.9±2.3에서 241.3±18.6, 당뇨군이 108.9±2.2에서 198.7±6.3으로 증가하였다(p=NS). 이는 인슐린 투입후 당뇨병군이 정상군과 비교하여 인산화량의 증가정도가 통계적인 차이가 없었다. IRS에서는 정상군이 111.6±7.3에서 295.6±17.2, 당뇨군이 114.5±6.1에서 222.0±23.2로 증가하였으며(p<0.05), 인슐린 투입후 당뇨병군이 정상군과 비교하여 인산화량의 증가정도가 약 24% 감소하였다. Akt kinase에서는 103.4±6.0에서 416.8±29.5로 증가하였으며(p<0.01), 인슐린 투입후 당뇨병군이 정상군과 비교하여 인산화량의 증가정도가 약 43% 감소하였다. GSK-3에서는 정상군이 107.7±6.7에서 595.7±28.1, 당뇨군이 104.3±4.8에서 443.3±12.9로 증가하였으며(p<0.01), 인슐린 투입후 당뇨병군이 정상군과 비교하여 인산화량의 증가정도가 약 25% 감소하였다. 결론: 제2형 당뇨병 환자에서 정상인과 비교하여 인슐린 자극후 IR-β는 인산화량의 증가정도가 큰 차이가 없었으나, IRS, Akt kinase, GSK-3에서는 인산화량의 증가 정도가 감소되는 것으로 보아 상위 인슐린 신호전단체계부터 결함이 있는 것으로 생각된다. Background: The glucose uptake rate is the limiting step in glucose utilization and storage. The failure of insulin to stimulate glucose uptake in muscle appears to be a primary defect of insulin resistance. This study was undertaken to examine the effect of physiological hyperinsulinemia on the phosphorylation of the insulin receptor (IR-β), insulin receptor substrate (IRS), Akt kinase and GSK-3 in isolated skeletal muscle, in people with type 2 diabetes(n=9) and control subjects(n=11). Methods: 75g OGTT and euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp test were done. And vastus lateralis muscle was obtained before and 30 min into the euglycemic clamp. Western blots were performed for tyrosine phosphroylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS) and phosphorylation of the insulin receptor(IR-β), Akt and GSK-3. Result: There were no statistical differences in the mean age, BMI and body fat between the control subjects and diabetic patients. The fasting blood sugar and HbA_1c in controls and diabetic patients were 98.0±0.3 and 208.1±16.5ng/dl, and 5.4±0.5 and 9.2±0.6%, and 1.4±0.2 in the control subjects, and 72.2±52.3%(p<0.01) and 10.2±6.3(p<0.01) in the diabetic patients, respectively. The insulin resistance from the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp test were 8.2±0.6㎎/㎏/min and 3.7±1.1ng/㎏/min in the control subjects and in the diabetic patients, respectively(p<0.01). Compared with the normal controls, insulin-stimulated IR phosphorylation was no different to that in the diabetic patients. However, insulin-stimulated IRS phosphorylation, insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation and insulin-stimulated GSK-3 phosphorylation were reduced in the diabetic patients compared with the normal controls by 24, 43 and 25%, respectively(p<0.05). Conclusion: In Korean type 2 diabetic patients, the insulin resistance may be due to the impairment of the upstream insulin signal molecular network. Further studies will focus on determining whether these signaling defects are the cause of the development of insulin resistance, or secondary to the altered metabolic state, associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (J Kor Soc Endocrinol 17:685∼697, 2002).

Many studies have been performing to attenuate hemodynamic responses in related to anesthesia of hypertensive patients because increased blood pressure and heart rate may be even fatal. The author performed this experimental study to evaluate the hemodynamic effect of labetalol which has dual site of action(non-specific beta and postsynaptic alpha 1 receptor blockade) and SNP on cardiovascular system under the 1 % isoflurane anesthesia in 14 mongrel dogs. Heart rate(HR), systolic arterial blood pressure(SAP); diastolic arterial blood pressure(DAP), mean arterial blood pressure(MAP), central venous pressure(CVP), pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure(PCWP), and cardiac output(CO) were measured after labetalol 0.08mg/kg, 0.24mg/kg, and 0.72mg/kg intravenous bolus injection and SNP 0.7mg /kg/min, 2.1mg/kg/min, and 6.3mg/kg/min intravenous dripping. Besides stroke volume (SV), cardicac index(CI), left ventricular stroke work index(LVSWI), systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and pulmonary vascular resistance(PVR) were calculated. The results were summerized as follows 1. SAP, DAP and MAP were decreaed significantly in both groups. HR were decreased significantly in labetalol group but there was no change in SNP group. 2. PCWP showed a tendency to increase in labetalol group but to decrease in SNP group, PAP showed no change in both groups. 3. CO and CI were decreased significantly but SV was not changed in labetalol group. There were no changes in SNP group. LVSWI showed a tendency to decrease in both groups. 4. CVP, SVR and PVR were not changed in both groups. The author conclude both labetalol and SNP are effective to attenuate hemodynamic responses, in hypertensive patients. But labetalol is preferable for hypertensive patient with coronary heart. disease because it has dual blocking action.

정창수,이우선,최한수 조선대학교 에너지.자원신기술연구소 1999 에너지·자원신기술연구소 논문지 Vol.21 No.2

The characterization and AC breakdown test for identifying a cause of premature failure of 7 URD power cables which failed during service are presented in this paper. The failed cables used for more than 10 years showed that the main cause of failure was water tree growth due to the water penetration. Almost trees grown from interface between insulation shield and insulation layer. Especially, there was a close relation between water tree length and content of ionic impurities. On the other hand, the failed cable used for less than 1 year has protrusion and void at the same position. From this, it can be concluded that the main cause of premature failure was the defects from manufacturing processes. In order to prevent the premature failure of URD cable, it is needed to improve the service environment, raw materials and manufacturing process.

최수미,박선희,이동건,최정현,유진홍,민우성,신완식,김춘추 대한감염학회 2005 감염과 화학요법 Vol.37 No.5

목적 : 본 연구에서는 국내 혈액질환 환자들에서 일차 항진균제를 부작용으로 인해 투여할 수 없거나, 일차 항진균제에 반응이 없는 침습성 진균 감염증의 구제치료로서 caspofungin의 효과와 이상반응에 대한 임상 경험을 소개하고, 예후인자를 분석해 보았다. 재료 및 방법 : Caspofungin은 첫날 70 mg, 이틀째 부터 50 mg을 하루 일회 투여하였고, caspofungin 종료시 그리고 종료 4주 후 반응을 평가하였다. 결과 : 총 55명의 환자가 분석에 포함되었고, 남자 32명, 여자 23명, 평균 나이는 38.2세(16-65세)였다. 기저 질환은 급성 백혈병 33명, 골수이형성 증후군 12명, 만성 백혈병 3명, 기타 7명이었다. 진균 감염은 확진 1명, 가능 5명, 추정 47명, 불확실 2명이었고, 감염 장소는 폐를 침범한 경우가 49명, 파종감염 6명이었다. 전체적으로 41.8% 환자에서 양호한 반응을 보였으며, 치료군, 치료후 기저질환의 상태, 침습성 진균 감염 진단시 호중구 감소증 여부, 스테로이드 등 면역억제제 사용 여부가 유의한 예후인자였다. 약제관련 이상반응은 14.5%에서 관찰되었고, 발열, 피부 발진, 간기능 저하 등으로 나타났다. 이중 4명에서 이상반응과 관련하여 투약을 중지하였고, 약제 중단 후 증상은 모두 호전되었다. Caspofungin 관련 신독성은 관찰되지 않았다. 결론 : Caspofungin은 국내 혈액질환 환자에서 침습성 진균 감염증의 구제치료에 효과적으로 안전하게 사용될 수 있겠다. 최근 여러 항진균제들이 개발되어 임상에 도입되고 있는 바, 항진균 작용 범위, 독성, 약역동학적 특성, 비용-효과면 등을 고려하여 환자별로 직절한 항진균제를 선택하도록 해야 할 것이다. Background : Invasive fungal infection (IFI) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematologic malignancy. Patients with IFI who fail to standard therapy have poor prognoses. We investigated the efficacy and safety of caspofungin (CAS) in Korean adults with hematologic diseases and IFI who did not respond to the conventional antifungal therapy. Materials and Methods : Patients with IFI refractory or intolerant to standard antifungal therapy received CAS 50 mg IV daily after 70 mg loading dose on day 1. Efficacy and safety of CAS were assessed in patients who received more than one dose. Favorable response [complete (CR) or partial (PR)] was defined as significant improvement of all clinical symptoms, signs, and radiologic abnormalities. Results : From Feb. 2004 to Feb. 2005, 55 patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled. There were 32 male and 23 female patients with mean age of 38.2 years (range, 16-65). Underlying diseases were acute leukemia (33 cases), myelodysplastic syndrome (12 cases), chronic myelogenous leukemia (3 cases), and other hematologic diseases (7 cases). Thirty-six patients were receiving chemotherapy and 13 patients were under hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The number of proven, probable, possible, and indeterminate IFI cases was 1, 5, 47, and 2, respectively. Conventional amphotericin B, intravenous itraconazole, and liposomal amphotericin B were administered for average of 14.9 days prior to administering CAS. Mean duration of CAS therapy was 12.8 days (range, 1-45). Twenty-three patients (41.8%) showed favorable responses (CR : PR=8 : 15) at the end of CAS therapy. Chemotherapy group, neutropenic state, remitted state of underlying disease, and no steroid therapy were significant prognostic factors for favorable response. Eight (14.5%) patients developed drug-related adverse events such as fever, skin eruption, and hepatic dysfunction which were reversible after discontinuation of CAS. Drug-related nephrotoxicity was not observed. Conclusion : On the basis of our investigation, CAS was effective and safe as a salvage therapy of refractory IFI or as an alternative for patients intolerant to standard antifungal agents.
