연구배경: 아세틸 콜린 유발 검사시 발생하는 흉통과 허혈성 심전도 변화가 아세틸 콜린에 의해 발생하는 관상동맥의 내피세포 기능에 어떤 영향을 주는지 알아보고자 했다. 방법: 흉통으로 내원하여 관상동맥 조영술과 아세틸 콜린 유발검사를 시행받은 1,085명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 아세틸 콜린 유발 검사를 하는 동안 허혈성 심전도 변화 및 흉통의 발생 유무에 따른 관상동맥 내피세포 기능의 특징을 비교하였다. 결과: 539명의 환자에서 아세틸 콜린 검사시 내피세포 기능 장애가 발생 하였다. 허혈성 심전도 변화가 있었던 그룹이 심전도 변화가 없었던 그룹보다 흉통이 더 많았고(78.1% vs. 60.8%, P=0.007), 관상동맥 조영술상 다발성 관상동맥 경련이 빈번하였고(59.4% vs. 40.6%, P=0.004), 관상동맥의 경련 정도도 더 심하였다(64.1% vs. 46.5%, P=0.006). 흉통이 있었던 그룹이 흉통이 없었던 그룹보다 허혈성 심전도 변화의 빈도가 더 높았다(14.7% vs. 7.5%, P=0.007). 또한 흉통이 있었던 그룹이 관상동맥 경련이 다발성으로 발생하는 경우가 많았고 (50.7% vs. 29.5%, P<0.001), 미만성으로 발생하는 경우가 많았고(87.1% vs. 75%, P<0.001), 관상동맥의 경련의 정도도 더 심하였다(51.6% vs. 43.5%, P=0.041). 결론: 아세틸 콜린 유발검사시 발생하는 허혈성 심전도 변화와 흉통은 관상동맥 경련의 정도와 경련이 발생하는 관상동맥 개수와 연관이 있다. Background: ECG changes and chest pain during acetylcholine (Ach) provocation tests may constitute important clinical parameters for Ach-induced endothelial dysfunction. We investigated the association between ischemic ECG changes and chest pain during the Ach-provocation test and angiographic characteristics of Ach-induced endothelial dysfunction. Methods: A total of 1,085 patients with anginal symptoms underwent diagnostic coronary angiography (CAG) and Ach-provocation tests. We compared angiographic characteristics of Ach-induced endothelial dysfunction according to the presence of ECG change and chest pain. Results: A total of 539 patients experienced Ach-induced endothelial dysfunction. Patients who experienced ECG change group suffered more frequent chest pain (78.1% vs. 60.8%, P=0.007), angiographically more frequent multiple coronary artery spasm (59.4% vs. 40.6%, P=0.004), and more severe coronary artery spasm (64.1% vs. 46.5%, P=0.006) than patients without ECG change. However, there was no difference in the length of endothelial dysfunction between the groups. The incidence of ischemic ECG changes in patients with chest pain was higher than in patients without chest pain (14.7% vs. 7.5%, P=0.007). Patients who experienced chest pain more often experienced multiple (50.7% vs. 29.5%, P<0.001), diffuse (87.1% vs. 75%, P<0.001), and severe coronary artery spasm (51.6% vs. 43.5%, P=0.041) than patients without chest pain. Conclusion: Ischemic ECG changes and chest pain during the Ach-provocation test are associated with multi-vessel involvement and severe coronary artery spasm. Chest pain is associated with the length of endothelial dysfunction, but ischemic ECG change is not.

Causes and Predictive Factors Associated with "Diagnosis Changed" Outcomes in Patients Notified as Tuberculosis Cases in a Private Tertiary Hospital

Background: The aim of our study was to evaluate the "diagnosis changed" rate in patients notified as tuberculosis (TB) on the Korean TB surveillance system (KTBS). Methods: A total of 1,273 patients notified as TB cases on the KTBS in one private tertiary hospital in 2011 were enrolled in the present study. Patients were classified into three groups: "diagnosis maintained", "diagnosis changed" (initially notified as TB, but ultimately diagnosed as non-TB), and "administrative error" (notified as TB due to administrative errors). Results: Excluding 17 patients in the "administrative error" group, the "diagnosis maintained" and "diagnosis changed" groups included 1,097 (87.3%) and 159 patients (12.7%), respectively. Common causes of "diagnosis changed" were nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease (51.7%, 61/118), and pneumonia (17.8%) in cases notified as pulmonary TB, and meningitis (19.5%, 8/41) and Crohn's disease (12.2%) in cases notified as extrapulmonary TB. Being older than 35 years of age (odds ratio [OR], 2.18) and a positive acid-fast bacilli stain (OR, 1.58) were positive predictors and a TB-related radiological finding (OR, 0.42) was a negative predictor for a "diagnosis changed" result via multivariate logistic regression analysis in pulmonary TB cases. Conclusion: Because of a high "diagnosis changed" rate in TB notifications to the KTBS, the TB incidence rate measured by the KTBS may be overestimated. Considering the worldwide trend toward increased NTM disease, the "diagnosis changed" rate may increase over time. Thus, when reporting the annual TB notification rate in Korea, the exclusion of "diagnosis changed" cases is desirable.

The purpose of this survey is to investigate and analize the status of flower consumption by city households so that it can provide basic materials for the development of horticulture industry. For this purpose, one thousand housewives were questioned living in six large cities : Seoul, Pusan, Taegu, Inchon, Kwangju and Taejon. The results of the analysis are as follows; 1. The most favorite cut flowers by season were rose, carnation and freesias in spring: roses and gypsophila paniculate in summer : chrysanthermum in autumn : gypsophila paniculate, roses chrysanthemums and lilies in winter. 2. The uses of cut flowers was mostly for gifts(58.4%), and that of pot flowers was mostly for home decoration. 3. flower shops were the most popular place for buying cut flowers(59.5%), followed by wholesale markets(22.5%) and street stalls(16.2%). In the case of pot flower, wholesale markets were the most favorite place(32.4%), street stalls(27.9%), flower shops(24.8%), and farm houses(11.9%). The survey showed that consumers frequent a shopping place because of 'easy accessibility', and 'various varieties in stock' in the case of cut flowers and, in that of pot flowers, 'easy accessibility' and 'low price' were the main resons in the case of pot flowers. 4. The purchase frequency rate by seson for cut flowers was that 'regardless of season' was 58.1% and 'spring', 28.9%. For pot flowers, 'spring' 58.9% and 'regardless of season' 33.6%. For the day of the week cut flowers were bought most open, Saturday came first with 34.2%, Monday and Sunday followed with 27.0% and 15.5% respectively. On the other hand, Sunday came first with 42.3%, Saturday(32.5%) and Monday(8.3%) took the second and third place respectively for pot flowers When it came to the purchase time of the day for cut flowers, 31.8% of the respondents bought then between ten and noon and 21.8% between four and six in the afternoon. 5. concerning the average amount of money spent at one time for cut flowers, 33.3% of the respondents said 3,000won to 5,000won and 23.2% replied 5,000won to 10,000won. While 36.8% answered that they paid 5,000won to 10,000won and 23.5% said 3,000won to 5,000won for a pot flowers. 6. Relating to the demand of flower stores, 28.8% wanted 'low price' : 27.9%. requested 'clear markings of the prices' : and 26.4%, wanted 'abundant commodities'

It is well known that the islet changes of pancreas could be induced by various factors, for example, obesity, hormones, pregnancy, age, etc. For the observation of the effect of age and sex, the size of the pancreatic islets and endocrine cells composing them were calculated. As an experimental animal the albino rats of Wistar strain were used. During breeding for fifty weeks, the rats were sacrificed with the interval of ten weeks and the pancreatic tissues were fixed in Bouin's solution and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and aldehyde fuchsin and trichrome. The results were as follows : 1. At the age of fifty weeks of the male, the islets showed marked hypertrophy with peri-and intra-insular fibrosis. 2. The changes of the islets are found more earlier and severe in the male than in the female. 3. The frequency of appearance of pancreatic endocrine cells seemed not to change greatly during the increase of age.

김창근,김강득,최시성,정선관,노병석,원종진 圓光大學校 醫科學硏究所 1994 圓光醫科學 Vol.10 No.1-2

In order to evaluate CT findings with time and to confirm the capsular structure correlating with its histopathologic findings, we experimentally induced ischemic necrosis of liver in 20 rabbits. Incision of the abdomen was performed under anesthesia. Ligation of hepatic artery, portal vein and hepatic duct of right inferior posterior lobe of the liver after injection of macroaggregated albumin into right inferior posterior portal vein in order to prevent from developing collateral circulation as possible. Precontrast and postcontrast enhanced CT images were obtained at 1. 2. 4 days and 1, 2. 4. 6 weeks after induction of ischemic necrosis. Necrotic area in the liver showed homogeneous low density compared to normal liver, and no contrast enhancement after contrast material administration, and marked volume loss with time. CT attenuation value of necrotic area at 1 day(36.7±6.4 M±SD, Hounsfield unit) approached to two third of that of normal liver(56.3±7.3) and showed no significant change until two weeks but increased significantly after four weeks. On contrast enhanced CT images, capsular structure was obsereved as a high density rim along the liver surface of the necortic area in 8 of 15 cases. From the first day on, homogenous ischemic or coagulation necrosis was observed but rarely findings of edema, hemorrhage and cystic change were observed on histopathologic specimen. In all of the histologic samples taken from 10 cases during th 2nd to 6th week, fibrous thickening with rich vascularity was observed along the surface of the necrotic area. In conclusion, ischemic necrosis of the liver showed homogeneous low density and no contrast enhancement. CT attenuation value of necrotic area increased significantly with time associated with markedly decrease in volume. Capsular structure attributed to the hypertrophy of the liver capsule and rich vascularity within it.
