Competitive ELISA methods were used to measure the level of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) from urine in 1008 Korean adults. Subjects were selected by random sampling in all areas of Korea, except Cheju-do. The recovery rate of AFM1 using this method was 105% (73-124%). The geometric mean of urinary AFM1 in all subjects was 3.43 pg/mL (3.67 ng/g creatinine). The level of AFM1 in males was statistically higher, compared with female subjects. However, the levels of AFM1 did not differ according to age. Subjects in Chungbuk-do showed the highest urinary AFM1 concentration, whereas subjects in Kyeongnam-do showed the lowest concentration. Assuming an excretion rate of 5%, this AFM1 excretion corresponds to approximately 0.1 microgram/day in Korean adults.

In recent years, gonorrhea has been pandemic and remains one of the most common STDs in the world, especially in developing countries. For the detection of a more effective therapeutic regimen and assessing the prevalence of Penicillinase Producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae(PPNG), we have been trying to study the patients who have visited the Venereal Disease Clinic of Choong-Ku Public Health Center in Seoul since 1980 by menas of the chromogenic cephalosporin method. In 1998, 93 strians of N. genorrhoeae were isolated, among which 60(64.5%) were PPNG. The prevalence of PPNG in Seoul, which had been decreased to 39% in 1996 after a peak of 74.3% in 1993, is increased to 64.5% in 1998.

Background : Gastric cancer is the most common malignant tumor in Korea. surgical operation is one of the major treatment modalities for gastric cancer patients. Therefore, gastrectomy is one of the most common procedures in General Surgery. There were variation in length of hospital stay and medical treatment for gastrectomy between three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. Clinical pathways have received considerable attention as a tool for recucing the medical practice variation, increasing the efficiency of care process, and improving the quality of care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a clinical pathway for gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients. Methods : The clinical pathway for gastrectomy was developed and implemented by a multidisciplinary group in Asan Medical Center. A computerized clinical pathway program was developed and revised after a pilot test. A total of 145 patients underwent gastrectomy by three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. We compared the length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction, and unplanned readmission rate between the pre-pathway group(n=67) and the post-pathway group(n=78). We also investigated the degree of satisfaction among the physicians and nurses who were main end-users of the clinical pathway. Results : The clinical pathway was applied to all target patients. The average length of hospital stay was shortened from 12.7days to 10.6days(p<0.01). The degree of patient satisfaction with the care process changed from 90.3% to 89.2% after the implementation of the clinical pathway, but the difference was of satistically significant(p=0.761). Unplanned readmission rate was 2.9% in the pre-pathway group. More than 90% of physicians and nurses answered that the clinical pathway had been a useful tool in their medical practice. Conclusions : The findings of the study demonstrated that implementation of the clinical pathway for gastrectomy produced substantial reduction in the length of hospital stay while improving the quality of patient outcomes. The computerized clinical pathway program can be used as one of the powerful patient management tools for reducing the practice variations and increasing the efficiency of care process in Korea hospital settings.

A self-piercing rivet(SPR) is a mechanical component for joining dissimilar materials. It is used for joining dissimilar material sheets such as aluminum alloy and steel. The self-piercing rivet directly pierces into sheets without drilling sheets beforehand unlike conventional rivets. However, the self-piercing rivet occurs buckling when piercing high strength steel. Therefore, a helical SPR which can pierce high strength steel sheet was designed. In this study, forging process was designed for manufacturing the helical SPR and simulated by using commercial FEM code DEFORM-3D. In the simulation of forging process for manufacturing rivet, process sequence, formability, forging load were investigated. The suitable forging process could be designed by comparisons of simulated results. Experimental trials have been carried out for same conditions as simulated ones. The simulated results agreed with the experimental ones. So, the analytic approach in this thesis is useful to save cost and time in the forging industry

To evaluate the prevalence of cumulative trauma disorders in relation to ergonomic evaluation of their work, 260 female directory assistance operators employed in three branch facilities of the nation-wide telecommunication company. Ergonomic evaluation of the work status was done by two industrial hygienists through inspection. Workers were surveyed with standardized self-administered questionnaire and examined by family physicians and an orthopaedician for cumulative trauma disorders. Laboratory examination of serum aspartate aminotransferase(AST), creatinine phosphokinase(CPK), aldolase and rheumatoid factor was done and X-ray of cervical spine and both shoulders was taken from all subjects and nerve conduction velocity test was done on 57 subjects with suspected nerve entrapment cases. Cumulative trauma disorders were categorized into 3 category according to work-relatedness of the disorders. On ergonomic evaluation of the working posture and work environment, improvement of work posture revealed inappropriate postures and devices. Mean age of the subjects were 39 years old and more than 80% graduated high school or above. Ninety-eight percent of the workers employed in the company for more than 15 years and 74.6% of the workers worked at the VDT job for more than 4 years. Mean daily work hours was 8.0 hours per day and mean break hours was 90.5 minutes per day with mean extra work hours of 10.7 hours per month. Mean daily calls were 1128.6 calls in maximum and 864-8 calls in minimum. On laboratory examination, 13.(5.0%) workers had abnormal AST, 53(20.4%) had abnormal CPK, and 1(0.4%) had abnormal aldolase level. On x-ray examination of cervical spine, 111(42.7%) had loss of or reversed normal cervical lordosis, 10(3.8%) had narrowing of intervertebral space. Nerve conduction velocity test was abnormal in 11(19.2%) among 57 workers. Among disorders categorized as work-related, 131(50.4%) were diagnosed to have fatigue myalgia of levator scapulae, 108(41.5%) had cervical strain or sprain, 47(18.1%) had fatigue arthralgia of phalangeal joints, and 47(18.1%) had probable carpal tunnel syndrome, in 10(3.8%) of those diagnosis was confirmed electrophysiologically. Age, seniority, work duration at present job, workload nor location of facilities were associated with the prevalence of symptoms nor specific diagnoses on simple statistical analysis and multiple logistic regression, which seems to be due to highly selected and homogeneous characteristics of the study subjects. Above results shows that cumulative trauma disorders are very prevalent among directory assistance operators and elaborate effort is needed to reduce the cumulative trauma disorders among the operators.

To investigate the relationship between premenstrual mood changes and anxiety, and mood symptoms in the perinatal period , questionaire survey was carried out. There was no significant correlation between premenstrual symptom scale value and Edinburgh postpartum depression scale value. And theme was no relationship between premenstrual symptom scale value and state anxiety inventory scale value in the perinatal period. This findings suggest that premenstrual mood changes are not directly correlated with mood changes in the perinatal period.

김성순,정해관,권용욱 大韓産業醫學會 2000 대한직업환경의학회지 Vol.12 No.3

목 적 : 아크릴아마이드에 직업적으로 노출되는 근로자들의 신경병증을 조기에 발견하기 위하여 사용될 수 있는 선별검사를 평가하기 위하여 본 연구를 진행하였다. 방 법 : 울산지역에서 아크릴아마이드 단량체를 제조하거나 취급하는 전체 근로자 52 명 중 아크릴 아마이드에 의한 신경병증 사례가 발생하고 작업환경노출이 많은 것으로 평가된 근로자 10명(평균연령 30.4세)을 고노출군으로, 나머지 근로자 42명(평균 연령 28.9세)을 저노출군으로 하였고, 의사 및 의대생 23명(평균 29.4세)을 대조군으로 선정하였다. 이들에 대하여 말초신경 증상설문지와 신경학적 진찰, 전기진단학적 검사, 진동감각역치검사 및 색도분별 검사를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 증상 설문지에서 고노출군은 말초신경에 특이한 증상을 저노출군 및 대조군에 비하여 더 많이 호소하였으며 신경학적 진찰소견상 이점분별력이 다른 집단에 비하여 유의하게 떨어져 있었다. 전기 진단학적 검사에서는 운동신경의 경우 정중신경 전도속도와 비골신경 잠시가, 감각신경의 경우 정중신경 진폭과 비복신경 잠시가 유의한 차이를 보였다.고노출군은 상지 및 하지의 진동감각역치가 저노출군 및 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 증가하였다. 색혼동지수로 측정한 색도분별력은 고노출군에서 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 떨어져 있었다. 이들 검사의 양성소견은 다른 변수를 제어하였을 때 아크릴아마이드 노출과 유의한 연관관계를 보였으며 각 검사의 양성 소견은 상호 중복이 많지 않고 이들 검사를 동시에 적용하였을 때 가장 많은 양성 소견을 보였다. 결 론 : 말초신경증상설문지, 진동감각역치검사 및 색도분별검사는 말초신경장해를 조기에 발견하는데 민감하였으며 이들 검사를 동시에 사용할 경우 말초신경장해의 조기 발견을 가장 효과적으로 수행할 수 있었다. Objectives : Acrylamide is a neurotoxin inducing central-peripheral distal axonopathy. The authors evaluated several neurologic tests to screen the early effect of occupational acrylamide exposure. Methods : Fifty-two males working either in the production of acrylamide monomer or in the handling of acrylamide in Ulsan, Korea, were selected and subcategorized into the hlgh-exposure group (n=10, mean age of 30.4 years) and the low-exposure group (n=42, mean age of 28.9 years). Twenty-three males (mean age 29.4 years) from medical professionals and students were chosen as a non-exposed reference group. Symptom questionnaire, neurologic examination, electrodiagnostic test, vibrotactile threshold test, and Lanthony desaturated 15 panel test (LD-l5D) were done. Results : The high-exposure group shewed more number of specific symptoms on questionnaire and more abnormal two point discrimination test. High-exposure group showed a significant difference in the median motor conduction velocity, peroneal nerve motor laten cy, sensory amplitude of median nerve action potential, and sensory latency of aural nerve. The vibrotactile threshold of the high-exposure group was significantly higher in both hands and feet than that of the low-exposure group and the reference group. Average color confusion index on the LD-l5D was significantly higher In the high-exposure group (median 22.7, range 0-135.7) than in the reference group (median 2.4, range 0-33.2) . Conclusions : The symptom questionnaire, vibrotactile threshold test, and color dis crimination test are sensitive in detection of the early acrylamide-induced neuropathy, and the combination of these tests would further facilitate the effectiveness of the screening.
