Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic chronic inflammation of the intestines. IBD treatment may require anti-inflammatory agents such as sulfasalazine or 5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA) and immunomodulators to control the symptoms. However, these agents have a variety of common adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, skin rash, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and infections. Moreover, rare side effects such as nephrotic syndrome, pneumonitis, and pericarditis can occur. A 21-year-old male was admitted to the hospital due to acute chest pain, fever, and sweating. The patient had a history of Crohn`s disease and had been taking mesalazine for 3 weeks. Chest x-ray, echocardiography, and clinical manifestations revealed that the patient had acute pericarditis. However, we did not recognize the relationship between these findings and 5-ASA at that time. Two years later, the patient took 5-ASA again, and similar symptoms occurred, which led us to confirm that he suffered from pericarditis induced by this drug. We report a case of acute recurrent pericarditis that developed after taking 5-ASA for IBD treatment with a review of the literature. (Intest Res 2012;10:289-294)

이 연구는 소프트볼 선수들의 은퇴 및 직업전환과 회귀 경험에 대한 연구 참여자들의 내러티브를 통해 그 속에서 나타나는 함축적인 의미를 탐색하는 데 그 목적이 있었다. 연구 참여자는 소프트볼 선수 시절부터 은퇴 이후 삶의 경험과 이야기가 풍부한 중년 여성을 대상으로 선정하였으며, 자료 수집은 심층면담, 참여관찰, 이미지텔링, 신문기사, 훈련일지 등을 통해 수집하였다. 자료 분석은 해석적 분석(Wolcott, 1994)과 영역분석 및 분류분석(Spradly, 1980)을 활용하였다. 연구결과는 ‘소프트볼 선수의 시작에서 은퇴 경험 이야기’, ‘직업전환에서의 경험 이야기’, ‘회귀과정에서의 경험이야기’의 3가지 범주로 구분하여 기술하였다. 그리고 이에 따른 연구참여자들의 경험의 의미는 ‘비인기 종목의 현실’ 둘째, ‘여자운동선수의 사회적응기’, ‘현실의 도피처’의 3가지 범주로 구분하여 논의하였다. 이 연구는 소프트볼 선수들의 은퇴과정에서부터 회귀과정까지의 전반적인 이야기를 통해 연구 참여자들의 경험을 이해하고, 소프트볼의 문제점 및 개선의 필요성을 제기하였다는데 의의가 있다. 이러한 경험은 소프트볼 종목뿐만 아니라 다른 종목 선수들에게도 유용한 자료가 될 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문은 한국의 서양음악전공 대학생들을 대상으로 음악을 대학에서 전공으로 선택한 이유와 졸업 후의 진로를 음악교육 전공과 음악연주 전공으로 나누고 졸업 후의 진로를 음악교육 전공과 음악연주 전공으로 선택한 이유를 조사 하였다. 또한 다양한 음악대학의 커리큘럼 보다는 연주 중심의 획일화 된 음악대학의 커리큘럼이 음악전공 대학생들로 하여금 만족하고 진로에 도움이 되고 있는지의 여부와 앞으로 교육과정에 변화되었으면 하는 점들을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 음악전공 대학생들은 음악이 좋아서(흥미), 타고난 음악적 재능 등의 내적요인들에 의해 음악을 대학전공으로 선택하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 취업과 진로의 보장, 수입의 보장 등 현실적 직업요인들은 음악을 대학전공으로 선택하는데 크게 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며 음악전공생들은 학년이 올라갈수록 졸업 후 진로에 대한 음악대학 교육과정에 만족하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 앞으로 교육과정에 변화 되었으면 하는 점들에는 교육과정이 더욱더 다양하고 체계화되며, 실용성이 강화 된 과목들이 개설되었으면 하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 한국의 공립 음악대학과 미국 주립대학교의 음악전공 커리큘럼을 조사, 분석 하여 우리나라 음악대학 교육과정이 변화되고 보완되는 것이 필요하다는 것을 다시 한 번 인식하며 음악전공 대학생들이 졸업 후 선택할 수 있는 진로가 연주자 외에 다양하고 체계화 된 진로가 필요하다는 것을 제시하고 음악전공 대학생들의 직업과 진로관련 문제에 대하여 음악대학의 변화와 대책 방안을 이야기 하고자 한다. This study was oriented to South Korean students majoring in Western music and inquired into the reasons for having chosen music as a major at university, as well as reasons for having chosen their career for music education major and music interpretation major after dividing the career after graduation into music education and music interpretation. Moreover, this study also inquired into the fact if the interpretation-focused standardized curriculums of music colleges give more satisfaction to students and are more helpful for the career than diverse curriculums of music colleges. Simultaneously, this study examined some improvement points for the current curriculums. The research results show that music major students chose the major due to the internal factors such as liking for music (interest) and inborn musical talent. On the other hand, it turned out that the realistic professional factors such as guarantee of employment, career and income did not give a strong influence on the choice of majoring in music. Also, regarding the career after graduation, the higher the grade of the students, the less satisfaction with the curriculums of curriculums of music colleges was shown. Moreover, regarding the future improvement points of the curriculum, it was possible to understand that students hoped that the curriculum should be more diversified and systematic and more subjects with enhanced practicality should be established. For this reason, this study will give an opportunity of recognizing the necessity of changes and supplementation of the curriculums of music colleges of our country, by examining and analyzing the curriculums of music department of public music colleges of South Korea and State universities of America. Based on this, this study intends to propose the diverse and systematic career possibilities of music major students apart from players (interpreters) for the choice of career after graduation, and talk about changes and countermeasures of music colleges regarding professions and career problems of music major students.

Seasonal to inter-annual variations of water properties in the western channel of the Korea Strait are investigated using quasi-monthly hydrographic observations collected during 2006-2010. Weak vertical temperature and salinity gradients are observed during the winter months and these remain until May. At the upper layer, temperature increases from March and reaches a maximum in August, while salinity decreases during the same period. Near-bottom water shows low temperatures during late winter and fall with a minimum peak in September. Korea Strait Bottom Cold Water produces thick layers (>20 m) in 2006 and 2010, while it is observed very near the bottom with relatively high temperature in 2008 and 2009.

Polymyositis is diffuse, inflammatory myopathy with proximal-muscle weakness due to lymphocyte infiltration to the muscle layer. The exact cause of the muscle weakness is unclear but may be related with an immunologic mechanism. Using high-dose steroid is the treatment of choice for polymyositis. It is difficult to distinguish steroid-resistant polymyositis from steroid myopathy, however, in the course of high-dose steroid therapy. These authors encountered a steroid myopathy patient during polymyositis treatment with high-dose steroid. A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed with polymyositis and was treated with high-dose steroid. Her condition was initially improved, but in the course of the treatment, her symptom was aggravated without increasing the muscle enzymes. Her muscle weakness was improved by reducing the steroid dosage.
