Objectives : The aim of this study was to examine the behavioral and emotional problems associated with nocturnal enuresis in Korean children. Methods : Three hundred eighteen children with nocturnal enuresis, together with their parents, completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Disruptive Behavior Disorder Scale according to DSM-IV (DBDS), Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC), and Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale (PHCSC). Ninety-three normal students were selected as the control group. Results : Compared to the normal control group, the mean scores with regard to the withdrawn, social problems, attention problems, delinquent behavior, aggressive behavior, externalizing problems and total problems profiles were significantly higher in the nocturnal enuresis group according to the CBCL results. The nocturnal enuresis group also scored significantly higher in the ADHD and ODD profiles of the DBDS. The nocturnal enuresis group was more depressed and anxious than the control group according to the results of the CDI and STAI. The mean score of the PHCSC was significantly lower in the nocturnal enuresis group when compared to the normal control group. Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that children with nocturnal enuresis in Korea have clinically relevant behavioral and emotional problems. The findings support the link between nocturnal enuresis and psychopathology in Korean children.

본 연구는 온실의 난방 에너지 절감을 목적으로 온실 내부에 알루미늄 온수배관을 설치하여 난방효과에 대한 기초자료를 구축하고자 수행되었다. 그 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 전체 실험을 포함하여 온실내의 높이별 온도편차는 4.0~7.0℃ 정도의 범위로서 그 차이가 크게 나타났다. 팬코일유니트(FCU)를 작동시킨 경우가 작동시키지 않은 경우에 비해 유출입수의 온도차가 3.3℃ 정도 크고, 소비전력량은 36.2~40.1% 정도 증가하였으며, 시간당 방열량은 44.6~52.0% 정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 실험기간동안 순환유량은 0.48~0.49L · s<SUP>?1</SUP> 정도의 범위에 있었고, 평균유속은 1.53~1.56m · s<SUP>?1</SUP> 정도였다. 유출입수의 평균 온도차는 6.24~11.50℃이었다. 최저 외기온 ?14.0~?0.6℃ 범위에서 설정온도별 방열량은 135,930~307,150㎉ 정도의 범위로서 시간당 9,610~19,630㎉ · h<SUP>?1</SUP> 정도의 범위에 있었다. 이것은 최대난방부하의 약 23~53% 정도의 난방에너지를 공급할 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 전체 방열량과 소비전력량은 각각 2,548,306㎉ 및 3,075.7㎾h이다. 화석연료인 경유로 난방할 경우, 소요되는 경유의 총 소비량은 281.6L 정도이고 비용은 321,000won인 것으로 나타났다. 농가용 전력요금을 적용하면 전력사용에 대한 총비용은 110,730won 정도로서 경유 소비 비용의 33.5% 정도로 나타났다. 실험구의 온도가 대조구보다 약 8.3~14.6℃ 정도 높게 나타났다. This research was conducted to obtain basic data with regard to the heating performance that would be produced by installing an aluminum hot water pipe inside the greenhouse with the goal of reducing the heating energy in greenhouse. The research results are summarized as follows. The degree of difference in relation to the temperature by height within the greenhouse during the entire experiment was significant - within the range of 4.0~7.0℃. The temperature difference between incoming and outgoing water was about 3.3℃ greater when FCU was activated compared to when it was not activated. Meanwhile, the amount of energy consumed increased about 36.2~40.1%. The amount of pyrexia per hour also increased by 44.6~52.0%. During the experiment period, circulated flux was within the range of 0.48~0.49 L · s<SUP>?1</SUP> while average fluid speed was 1.53~1.56 m · s<SUP>?1</SUP>. The average temperature difference between incoming and outgoing water was 6.24~11.50℃. The amount of heating value by each set temperature within the minimum outdoor temperature range of ?14.0~?0.6℃ was 135,930~307,150 ㎉, and the range was within the 9,610~19,630 ㎉ · h<SUP>?1</SUP> per hour. This demonstrated that about 23~53% heating energy of the maximum heating load could be supplied. Total radiating value and amount of energy consumed were 2,548,306 ㎉ and 3,075.7 ㎾h, respectively. When heating takes place using oil, which is a fossil fuel, the total amount of light oil consumed was 281.6 L while the cost was 321,000 won. When the electricity cost for farms is applied, the total cost was about 110,730 won, which is about 33.5% of the cost required compared to oil consumption. The temperature at in the experiment area was about 8.3~14.6℃ higher compared to that of the control area.

서상철,은상진,김한길,송경은,서장수,최성만,이원길,김재식,김중명 慶北大學校 醫科大學 1994 慶北醫大誌 Vol.35 No.1

목적 : 결핵균 동정을 위한 중합효소 연쇄반응을 임상병리검사로서 적용하기 위한 기초 실험으로 분석학적 예민도와 특이도를 알아보고 검토된 조건에 의한 중합효소 연쇄반응을 실제 임상 가검물에 적용하기 위함이다. 재료 및 방법 : Ziehl-Neelsen염색 양성인 객담, 뢰벤스타인-젠센(Loewenstein-Jensen) 배지에서 분리된 결핵균 및 M. tuberculosis H37Rv를 비롯한 항산균 표준균주 11주와 비항산균 10주를 사용하여 2가지 DNA의 분리법, 3set 프라이머, 3종류 중합효소, 2가지 미량 원심시험관 및 Easy-Cycler^R(Ericomp사, 미국)와 수조형으로 검사를 시행하여 DNA 증폭 산물을 비교하였다. 또한 이미 지일-닐슨 염색법에 의한 선별검사에서 음성을 나타낸 객담 53예, 소변 101예, 삼출액 128예, 뇌척수액 54예 등 총 370예의 임상가검물을 대상으로 하여 위에서 검토된 중합효소 연쇄반응 조건으로 검사한 성적과 지일-닐슨 염색법, 배양법 성적과 비교하였다. 결과 : DNA분리방법 2가지와 3가지 중합효소는 분석학적 예민도와 5fg로 나타나 차이를 발견할 수 없었으며, 프라이머 P1, P2쌍은 예민도가 5fg, 프라이머 INS1, INS2쌍과 프라이머 Pt3, Pt6쌍의 예민도는 0.5fg이었다. Easy-Cycler^R가 수조형에 비해 높고, 미량 원심시험관은 Robbins사 제품이 Sarstedt사 제품에 비해 높은 분석학적 예민도를 나타냈다. 프라이머 P1, P2쌍과 프라이머 INS1, INS2와 Pt3, Pt6 2쌍의 프라이머의 특이도에 있어서는 항산균 표준균주 중 M. tuberculosis H37Rv, M. tuberculosis ATCC 27294, M. bovis ATCC 29312의 3주에서 특이 증폭 띠를 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 비결핵성 항산균 8주에는 특이 증폭 띠를 나타내지 않았다. 또 비항산균 10주에도 특이 증폭 띠가 관찰되지 않았다. 따라서 Robbins사의 미량 원심시험관과 proteinase-K법에 의한 DNA분리방법에 Easy-Cycler^R를 사용하여 프라이머 INS1, INS2쌍으로 일차 중합효소 연쇄반응을 시행한 후 프라이머 Pt3, Pt6쌍으로 이차중합효소 연쇄반응을 시행하는 방법을 370예의 임상가검물에 시행하였고 지일-닐슨 염색법과 결핵균배양검사도 동시에 시행한 결과 중합효소 연쇄반응 양성은 106예(28.6%), 배양 양성은 27예(7.3%) 및 염색 양성은 18예(4.9%)였으며, 결핵환자는 141명(38.1%)였다. 370예의 임상 가검물로 시행한 중합효소 연쇄반응의 진단학적 예민도와 특이도, 양성결과 예측치 및 음성결과 예측치는 68.8%, 96.1%, 91.5% 및 83.3%로 각각 나타났다. 결론 : 결핵균 동정을 위한 중합효소 연쇄반응은 배양검사에 비해 신속하며, 분석학적인 예민도와 특이도가 뛰어나므로 결핵 진단을 위한 임상병리검사로서 유용하다고 사료됨. In this study, We investigated the optimal conditions of polymerase chain reaction(PCR) assay for the rapid identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in clinical specimens as routine laboratory test. So we have compared two DNA isolation methods, 3 polymerases, 2 set of primer, 2 kinds of thermocycler and 2 microtubes. We evaluated two DNA isolation methods, bead-beating method and proteinase-K method, the latter was more sensitive than the former. In comparision of two sets of primers, P1 and P2 primers detecting 123-base pair fragment of IS6110 made from Biosnthesis(U. S. A.) and INS1 and INS2 primers detecting 245-base pair fragment of IS986 showed equally sensitive results ie. 5fg. Specificity of primers were tested and INS1 and INS2 primers gave 245-base pair product from M. tuberculosis H37Rv, M. tuberculosis ATCC 27294 and Mycobacterium bovis ATCC 29312 but not from 8 nontuberculous mycobacterial strains such as M. kansasii ATCC 12478, M. terrae ATCC 15755, M. intracellurae ATCC 13950, M. avium ATCC 25281, M. gordonae ATCC 14470, M. fortuitum ATCC 6841, M. smegmatis ATCC 19420, M. scrofulaceum ATCC 19981. Coagulase-positive staphylococcus, coagulase-negative staphylococcus, streptococcus, Esccherichia coli, Serra-tia marcescens, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enlerobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter cloacae, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Pseudomonas aerugonosa showed no 245-base pair amplification product. PCR by the P1 and P2 primers showed 123-base pair amplification product from M. tuberculosis H37Rv, M. tuberculosis ATCC 27294 and Mycobacterium bovis ATCC 29312 but not from 8 nontuberculous mycobacterial strains such as M. kansasii ATCC 12478, M. terrae ATCC 15755, M. intracellularae ATCC 13950, M. avium ATCC 25281, M. gordonae ATCC 14470, M. fortuitum ATCC 6841, M. smegmatis ATCC 19420, M. scrofulaceum ATCC 19981. Coagulase-postive staphylococcus, coagulase-negative staphylococcus, streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enlerobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter cloacae, Acinelobacler calcoaceticus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed no 123-base pair amplification product. In comparision of polymerase, Taq DNA polymerase^R(Promega Co., U. S. A.) was more cost effective than Ampli Tag^R(Perkin-Elmer Cetus, U. S. A.), but these two were equally sensitive and specific in the detection of M. tuberculosis-specific DNA. Tac polymerase (Korea'Biotech, Korea) showed many nonspecific bands. In comparision of thermocycler, Easy-Cycler^R(Ericomp, U. S. A.) was more sensitive than water-bath type and in that of microtubes Robbin's were more sensitive than Sarstedt's PCR results were compared with results of culture for M. tuberculosis and Ziehl-Neelsen stain in 370 clinical specimens that were negative by initial Ziehl-Neelsen stain. There were 27 specimens(7.3%) that were positive for M. tuberculosis by culture, 18(4.9%) specimens that were positive by Ziehl-Neelsen stain, and 106 specimens(28.6%) that were positive for PCR and 141 cases that were positive for tuberculosis. Overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 68.8, 96.1, 91.5 and 83.3% respectively, for PCR; 19.1, 100, 100, and 66.8%, respectively for culture; and 12.8, 100, 100, and 59.0% respectively for Ziehl-Neelsen stain.

목적 : 1980년대부터 페니실린을 비롯한 β-lactam 계열과 비 β-lactam 계열 항균제에 대한 폐렴구균의 항생제 내성이 급격하게 증가하여 국내 뿐 아니라 세계적인 문제로 대두되고 있다. ANSORP 에서는 아시아 지역에서 폐렴구균의 항균제 내성과 그 변화 추이, 내성의 기전 및 위험인자를 분석하고자 본 국제 공동 연구를 시행하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 1999년 11월부터 2001년 8월까지 아시아 지역 12개국의 14개 기관에서 폐렴구균 감염증 환자의 임상 검체로 분리된 침습성 폐렴구균을 대상으로 액체배지 미량희석법을 이용하여 16개 항생제의 MIC를 구하였다. 위험인자의 분석을 위하여 폐렴구균 감염증 환자를 대상으로 의무기록지를 조사하였다. Quellung 반응을 통해 혈청형을 결정하였다. 결과 : 총 685균주 중 52.4%가 페니실린에 대하여 비감수성(중등도 내성 22.9%, 내성 29.5%)을 보였고, 그 빈도는 베트남(92.1%), 스리랑카(85.7%), 홍콩(67.9%), 한국(64.5%)의 순이었다. Erythromycin에 대한 비감수성 비율은 베트남(92.1%), 대만(87.7%), 한국(80.6%), 홍콩(76.8%) 등에서 높게 나타났고, 베트남, 대만, 한국, 홍콩 등의 erythromycin의 MIC_(90)이 32㎍/mL를 넘는 고도내성을 보였다. 홍콩, 싱가포르, 대만, 인도에서는 fluoroquinolone에 대한 내성 균주가 출현하였다. 전체 균주 중 다제내성 균주의 비율은 47.7%였다. 혈청형은 19형과 23형이 가장 많았고, 그 외 6형, 14형 등이 있었다. 페니실린 비감수성 감염증의 위험인자로는 5세 미만(OR=1.7; 95%, CI, 1.2-2.4; P=0.002), 기관지폐질환(OR=2.0; 95%, CI, 1.3-3.1; P=0.003), 악성종양(OR=2.3; 95%, CI, 1.2-4.6; P=0.015), 스테로이드의 사용(OR=2.8; 95%, CI, 1.1-7.4; P=0.032)이 확인되었다. 결론 : 침습성 폐렴구균 균주를 대상으로 한 본 연구의 결과 아시아 국가들에서 페니실린, β-lactam 및 macrolide에 대한 폐렴구균의 내성률 및 내성 정도가 급증하고 있음을 확인하였다. Background : Emergence of pneumococcal resistance became a global issue since 1990s. According to the ANSORP studies with clinical isolates and carriage isolates between 1996 and 1999, some Asian countries showed alarmingly high prevalence of resistance to penicillin and other antimicrobial agents. To investigate the changing trends of pneumococcal resistance, ANSORP study group has performed a multinational surveillance study with invasive pneumococcal isolates from Asian countries. Methods : All isolates from various invasive pneumococcal diseases were prospectively collected from 14 centers in 12 countries between November 1999 to August 2001. Broth microdilution tests with 16 antimicrobial agents were performed according to the NCCLS procedures. Serotyping was performed by means of Quelling reaction with use of group-specific antisera. Results : A total of 685 isolates were collected. Overall, 52.4% of invasive isolates from Asian countries were not susceptible to penicillin (intermediate (1), 22.9%, Resistant (R), 29.5%). Vietnam showed the highest prevalence of penicillin non-susceptibility (1 20.6%, R 71.4%) followed by Sri Lanka (1 71.4%, R 14.3%), Hong Kong (1 24.1%, R 76%) and Korea (1 9.7%, R 54.8%). China (I 19.8%, R 23.4%) and Malaysia (1 9.1%, R 29.5%) also showed remarkable increase in penicillin resistance compared with previous ANSORP data, which were less than 10%. Vietnam (92.1%), Taiwan (87.7%), Korea (80.6%), and Hong Kong (76.8%) showed high prevalence of erythromycin resistance. MIG_(90)S for ciprofloxacin were 4 ㎍/mL (Hong Kong) and 2 ㎍/mL (11 Asian countries except Hong Kong), respectively. Conclusion : Compared with previous data from ANSORP studies, antimicrobial resistance among invasive pneumococcal isolates has markedly increased in Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, China, and Malaysia. Continuous surveillance of pneumococcal resistance in Asia is strongly warranted.

목적 : HBV-DNA를 정성적 그리고 정량적으로 검출함으로써 강한 전염성과 높은 유병율로 인해 사회적으로 문제가 되는 B형 간염과 원발성간암의 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : B형 간염 표면항원(HBsAg)이 양성을 보이는 원발성간암 환자 38명을 대상으로 하였으며 HBV-DNA 중합효소연쇄반응법을 이용하여 정성적 검출 그리고 luminometry법을 이용하여 정량적 검출을 하였다. 결과 : HBV-DNA 중합효소연쇄반응법과 luminometry법의 양성율은 각각 57.9%, 39.5%를 보였다. 그리고 HBsAg과 HBeAg가 동시에 양성을 보인 11명에서는 HBV-DNA 양성율이 81.8%를 보였다. 결론: HBV-DNA 중합효소연쇄반응법의 양성율이 luminometry법에 의한 양성율보다 높은 결과를 보였고 HBV-DNA 검사는 B형 간염을 조기 발견하고 치료하여 만성간질환으로의 진행을 예방하고 특히 원발성간암의 병율을 낮추는데 많이 기여할 것으로 사료되었다. Background : Primary hepatocellular carcinoma(PHCC) is the most common malignant neoplasm in most countries of Asia and Africa. Hepatitis B virus is known to be strongly related to the pathogenesis of PHCC. HBV-DNA PCR and HBV-DNA quantitation assay were attempted to apply to 38 cases of HBsAg positive PHCC. Methods : The ordinary HBV markers(HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc(Ig-G and -M), HBeAg and anti-HBe) were examined with ELISA. Qualitative screening of HBV-DNA PCR and HBV-DNA quantitation-luminometric measurement were performed. Results : Among 38 cases of HBsAg positive PHCC, positive rates for HBV DNA-PCR and HBV DNA-quantitation were 57.9% and 39.5%, respectively. And 11 cases which were positive for both HBsAg and HBeAg showed 81.8% positive rate in HBV-DNA PCR. Conclusion : For 38 cases of HBsAg positive PHCC, the positive rate for HBV DNA-PCR was higher than HBV-DNA quantitation-luminometry. In HBV-DNA PCR, both HBsAg and HBeAg positive cases showed high positive rate.

The objective of this study is to describe the shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams. Twenty-four specimens were tested with the variables of concrete strength, the strength and spacing of shear bars, and support conditions. The specimens without the shear reinforcement bars showed the shear failure with the abrupt deterioration of shear capacity. The ones with the shear bars exhibited the enhanced capacity with the yielding of longitudinal bars or crushing of compressive concrete. It was observed that the specimens had an flexural effect. Also, the specimens with the continued support condition showed more flexural and shear capacity than the ones with the simple supports, and it was shown that the results satisfied the ACI code.

항정신병 약물로 인한 좌불안석증의 Clonidine치료 효과에 대한 예비연구

유원달,이민수,서광윤 大韓神經精神醫學會 1989 신경정신의학 Vol.28 No.2

Akathisia has received increased attention in recent years because of the realization that it is a major reason for patients subjectve discomfort and poor complicance with medication. But the traditional treatment of neuroleptic-induced akathisaia has been disappointing. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of clonidine in managing neuroleptic induced akathisia, the authors studied 12 inpatients who were admitted at the department of neuropsychiatry of Korea University Medical Center during the periods from March to July, 1988. The subjects were treated with clonidine(0.30-0.60㎎/day) in an open on-drung/off-drug trial. The efficacy of clonidine was assessed on everyday by Extrapyramidal Rating Scale of Chouinard and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory of Spielberger. The results were as follows. 1) Most patients demonstrated improvement of their akathisia on Akathisia Rating Scale(P<0.0001) and after discontinuation of clonidine akathisia scores returned to pretreatment levels within 24-48 hours. 2) Anxiety rating scores after clonidine treatment were significantly lower, compared with the scores before clonidine treatment(P<0.006). 3) Systolic and diastolic blood pressure fell from 120.0±13.8㎜Hg, 83.8±9.8㎜Hg to 108.3±9.0㎜Hg, 69.2±8.6㎜Hg after clonidine treatment, respectively.

許甫寧,裵源泰,徐弘三,李寬洙,朴種一 慶尙大學校 1984 論文集 Vol.23 No.2

本 硏究를 通하여 얻은 結果는 다음과 같다. 1. Al-Si 合金에서 Si量이 增加할수록 熱擴散係數는 감소하나, 共晶組成(Al-12%Si) 部近에서는 亞共晶, 過共晶組成에 비하여 약간 增加하였다. 비열과 비중등의 조건이 一定하다면 熱擴散係數는 pure Al 이 8.47, 亞共晶(6%)組成이 3.24, 共晶組成(12%)이 3.99, 過共晶組成(18%Si)이 3.01(×10-5m2/sec)이다. 2. Cu, P, Na로 개량처리 하였을 때 共晶組成이내에서는 Cu의 경우에 열확산계수가 가장 적었으나, 과공정조성에서는 Cu의 경우가 가장 높았다. After pure Al, Al-6% Si(hypoeutectic composition), Al-12% Si(eutectic comp.) and Al-18% Si(hypereutectic comp.) among Al-Si alloys were treated refinement with addition of Cu(0.5%), P(0.5%) or Na(0.5%), their thermal diffusivities were measured by flash method. And then their microstructures and thermal diffusivities were investigated. The results obtained are as follows. 1. According as sillicon contents in Al-Si alloys increase, the thermal diffusivities decreases, but it increases slightly at eutectic composition(Al-12% Si alloy), if its density and heat capacity are constant, the thermal diffusivities are 8.47(pure Al), 3.24(6% Si), 3.99(12% Si) and 3.01(18% Si) (X10-5m/sec) respectively. 2. When the refinement treated with Cu, P, and Na, the effects of thermal diffusivities of alloys with Cu treated is the lowest under eutectic composition, but its effects is the best at hypereutectc composition.

Background: Medicolegal disputes are increasing in practical medicine. Acne is a common problem but is usually related to cosmetic problems such as acne scars. Medications or procedures related to acne could lead to medical malpractice. Objectives: To analyze medical litigation associated with acne or acne scar in South Korea. Methods: Acne-related judgements were searched using the Supreme Court of Korea’s Written Judgment Management System based on the keywords “acne” or “acne scar.” Results: Eleven cases were selected as litigated cases of acne or acne scar. Eight cases (72.7%) were related to acne scar and three (27.3%) were related to acne. Treatment modalities such as peeling (n = 6), laser treatment (n = 3), photodynamic therapy (n = 1), and antibiotic (n = 1) resulted in lawsuit. Claimed sequelae of the treatment were hyperpigmentation (n = 5), scar worsening (n = 5), erythema (n = 3), skin bumps (n = 1), and liver transplant (n = 1). Eight cases (72.7%) were awarded to the plaintiff, and the others were dismissed. The average awarded amount was 16,801,324± 24,452,486 (mean±standard deviation) Korean Won. Conclusion: Various treatments for acne or acne scar can cause medical disputes. Unnecessary litigation could be prevented if simple measures such as history taking, choosing proper procedure, and adequate management after the procedure along with sufficient informed consent were performed.
