Vitamin $B_{12}$, Folate는 아미노산과 핵산의 합성에 필수적인 영양소로 DNA 복제에 관여하는 효소이다. 체내에서는 신체의 성장에 활발하게 관여하여 세포분열과 증식을 하는 조혈조직에 대한 영향이 커 빈혈의 감별진단 검사의 하나로서 측정된다. 이런 Vitamin $B_{12}$, Folate는 빛에 민감한 검사로 알려져 있어 검사 매뉴얼 또한 검사 시 실험 시, 보관 시 모두 빛의 노출을 피하도록 하고 있다. 이에 따라 본원의 검사실에서는 Vitamin $B_{12}$, Folate 검사시 빛의 노출을 최소한으로 하고 있다. 하지만 검체 분리 보관 지연 및 검사 시 다른 여러 가지 요인들로 인해 빛의 영향을 완전히 배제할 수는 없다. 따라서 Vitamin $B_{12}$, Folate 검사 시 빛의 영향 정도와 빛 차단이 필수적인 지의 여부를 확인하고자 실험 시 빛의 영향 정도와 실험 전 보관 시 빛의 영향 정도로 나누어서 분석해보고자 한다. 2012년 3월, 본원에 의뢰된 다양한 농도의 환자 검체 10개를 대상으로 실험시 빛의 영향과 검체 보관 시 빛의 영향 정도를 확인하는 두 가지 실험을 실시하였다. 첫 번째는 Vitamin $B_{12}$, Folate 실험시 반응 단계에서 빛을 차단한 결과와 빛에 노출된 결과를 비교하였다. 두 번째는 Vitamin $B_{12}$, Folate 실험 전 검체 보관 시 1, 2, 7일 동안 빛을 차단하여 보관한 결과와 빛에 노출된 결과를 비교하였다. 첫 번째, 실험 시 빛 차단의 여부에 따른 검사 결과 Vitamin $B_{12}$의 경우 영향이 없고 Folate의 경우 큰 영향은 없지만 유의확률이 0.033(상관식 y=1.02x-0.86)으로 실험 시 빛을 차단하는 것을 권장한다. 두 번째, 보관시 빛 차단의 여부에 따른 검사 결과 1일, 7일에서는 영향이 없고 2일에서는 Vitamin $B_{12}$ 유의확률이 0.033, Folate 유의확률이 0.037로 영향이 있었다. 이는 복잡한 검사 방법으로 인한 기술적 오류가 포함되어 있을 것으로 예상되어 1, 2, 7일 모두 보관 시 빛에 영향이 없는 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 1일차에 비해 7일차 유의확률 p-value가 감소함에 따라 장기간 보관 시 빛을 차단할 것을 권장한다. Purpose : Vitamin $B_{12}$ and Folate are for anemia work-up which is well known for its sensitivity of light; the screening manual also specifies to be careful with light conditions. According to this, our laboratory minimized the exposure of light when inspecting the Vitamin $B_{12}$ and Folate, but the exposure cannot be wholly blocked due to other various factors such as when conducting specimen segregation. Thus, this inspection is to identify to what extent light can influence and whether the exclusion of light is mandatory during the Vitamin $B_{12}$/Folate test. Materials and Methods : We have conducted two experiments of identifying the extent of light's influence when conducting the Vitamin $B_{12}$/Folate test and also when specimens are under preservation. These experiments were progressed with various concentrations of patients' specimens which were requested to our hospital in March 2012. The first experiment is to verify the results on Vitamin $B_{12}$/Folate dependent on light exposure during the experiment. In the process, we have compared the results of light exposure/exclusion during the incubation process after the reagent division. The second experiment is about the impact of light exposure on the results on Vitamin $B_{12}$/Folate during the preservation. For 1, 2, 7 days the light on the specimen were wholly blocked and were preserved under $-15^{\circ}C$ temperature refrigeration. Then, we compared the results of light-excluded specimen and the exposed one. Results : When conducting first experiment, there were no noticeable changes in the Standard and specimen's cpm, but for Vitamin $B_{12}$, the average result of specimen exposed to light increased 7.8% compare to that of excluded one's. Furthermore, in the significant level 0.05, the significance probability or the p-value was 0.251 which means it has no impact. For Folate, the result being exposed to light decreased 5.4%, the significance probability was 0.033 which means it has little impact. For the second preservation, the result was dependent on the light exposure. The first day of preservation of Vitamin $B_{12}$, the clinical material exposed to light was 11.6%, second day clinical material exposed to light was 10.8%, seventh day clinical material exposed to light increased 3.8%, the significance probability of the $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$, $7^{th}$ day is 0.372, 0.033, 0.144 respectively, and which indicates that the $1^{st}$ and $7^{th}$ day seems to have no impact. For Folate's case, the clinical material exposed to light has increased 1.4% but hardly had impact, $2^{nd}$ day clinical material being exposed to light was 6.1%, $7^{Th}$ day clinical material being exposed to light decreased 5.2%. The significance probability of Folate on the $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$, $7^{th}$ day is 0.378, 0.037, 0.217 respectively, and the $1^{st}$ day and the $7^{th}$ day seems to have no impact. Conclusion : After scrutinizing the impact of light exposure/exclusion, Vitamin $B_{12}$ has no impact, while Folate seems to have no noticeable influence but light exclusion is recommended due to its significance probability of 0.033 when conducting experiment. During the preservation, the $2^{nd}$ day result depend on the light exclusion seems to have impact or influence. However, to consider the complication of the experimental process, the experiment including technical errors is predictable. Hence, it is likely to have no impact of light. Nevertheless, it is recommendable to exclude the light during the long preservation as per the significance probability (p-value) of $1^{st}$ and $7^{th}$ day has been diminished.

정도관리(Quality Control)는 오차를 최소한으로 하여 검사의 신뢰도를 증진 시키는 것을 목적으로 하고 있으며 이러한 정도관리 활동을 통해 환자의 진단과 치료방침에 영향을 주는 핵의학 혈액 검사의 신뢰도가 확보되고 있다. 이에 연구자들은 신뢰도 향상의 추가적인 기법으로 건강검진 수검자를 대상으로 시행한 핵의학 혈액검사의 모집단 분포를 이용한 통계적 품질관리의 유용성을 평가해 보고자 한다. 2014년 1월부터 2014년 12월까지 서울아산병원 건강증진센터를 이용한 건강검진 수검자 41,341명을 대상으로 핵의학 혈액 검사 12종목에 대해 통계 분석을 시행 하였다. 통계분석은 핵의학 혈액 검사 12종목에 대한 결과 보고 치를 참고치 이내, 참고치 이상, 참고치 이하의 세 가지 그룹의 월간 백분율로 구분하여 모집단 분포의 평균값과 표준편차, 그리고 표준편차 지수(Standard Deviation Index: SDI)를 산출 하였고 그 결과 모집단 분포의 표준편차는 모든 그룹에서 대부분 ${\pm}2SD$ 이내의 결과를 보였다. 건강검진 수검자에 대한 핵의학 혈액검사 12종목(AFP, CEA, CA19-9, CA125, PSA, TSH, FT4, Anti-Tg-Ab, Anti-TPO-Ab, Calcitonin, 25-OH-VitD3, Insulin)의 모집단 분포를 분석한 결과 월간 백분율의 표준편차 지수(SDI)가 ${\pm}2.0$ 이상인 경우는, 1월과 3월 Insulin검사에서 각각 2.3, 2.4, 5월 Anti-Tg-Ab검사에서 2.2, 그리고 9월 CA19-9에서 2.2의 결과를 보였다. 이는 검사 Kit 시약의 이상 (동위원소 시약의 최대 결합률 저하), 검사반응 시간의 저하가 원인 이었다. 연구대상이 되는 전체의 속성을 포함하고 모집단 분포의 특성을 이용한 통계적 품질관리는 검사실에서 시행하고 있는 내부정도관리 프로그램을 보완하는 역할을 할 수 있으리라 생각된다. Purpose The importance of quality control by the error to a minimum, which for the purpose of enhancing the reliability of the examination is not be emphasized excess. Currently, most nuclear medicine laboratory are conducting the internal and external quality control, and they are applying the Levey-Jennings or Westgard Multi-Rules by using the commercialized quality control materials. The reliability of the nuclear medicine blood test which affects the diagnosis of patients and the treatment policy is being secured through this quality control activity. Therefore, researchers will evaluate the utility of the statistic quality control using the population distribution of the nuclear medicine blood test conducted targeting the checkup examinees by the additional technique of the reliability improvement. Materials and Methods A statistic analysis was performed about 12 items of the nuclear medicine blood test targeting 41,341 peoples who used the health screening and promotion center in Asan Medical Center from January, 2014 to December, 2014. The results of 12 items of the nuclear medicine blood test was divided into the monthly percentage of three groups: within reference values, over reference, and under reference to analyze the average value of the population distribution, standard deviation, and standard deviation index (SDI). Results The standard deviation of the population distribution mostly showed a result within ${\pm}2SD$ in all groups. However, When the standard deviation of the population distribution represented a result over ${\pm}2SD$, it was confirmed SDI was showing a result of SDI > -2 or SDI > 2. As a result of analyzing the population distribution of 12 items(AFP, CEA, CA19-9, CA125, PSA, TSH, FT4, Anti-Tg-Ab, Anti-TPO-Ab, Calcitonin, 25-OH-VitD3, Insulin) of the nuclear medicine blood part basic test, when SDI of the monthly percentage which deviated from the reference values was over ${\pm}2.0$, CA19-9 September was 2.2, Anti-Tg-Ab may was 2.2, Insulin January was 2.3, Insulin March was 2.4. It was confirmed these cases were attributed to the abnormality of the test reagent (maximum combination rate of isotope reagent declined) and the decline of the test response time. Conclusion The population distribution includes the entire attribute which becomes the study object. It is expected the statistic quality management using the population distribution which was conducted targeting the checkup examinees by dividing into three groups: within reference values, over reference, and under reference by means of this characteristics will be able to play a role of complementing the internal quality control program which is being carried out in the laboratory.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the impacts of climate variables on rice producticity in Korea. In order to allow for a flexible functional relationship, teh penalized spline regression whith is a semi-parametric model is used. A panel data set of 49 cities and towns for the period from 1996 to 2011 is used for estimation. The spline regression model allows random intercepts in-corporating the panel nature of the data set. Moreover, we identify the observations with extreme weather conditions such as flood in order to incorporate the increasing variability of climate factors. The study finds that rice productivity is significantly affected by technical change, sunshine du-ration and temperature in the grain-filling months. It is found that the variables of sunshine dura-tion must be incorporated as non-parametric elements of the semi-parametric model. There is a positive relationship between sunshine duration and productivity. An inverted U-shape relationship between temperature and productivity is found. The study shows that the peak temperature comes earilier if the panel-nature of the data is taken into account.
