박미옥,구본학,Park, Mi-Ok,Koo, Bon-Hak 한국조경학회 2012 韓國造景學會誌 Vol.40 No.4

본 연구는 어린이 활동공간이 조경공간의 하나라는 시각에서 법령 분석을 통해 어린이 활동공간 및 놀이시설과 관련된 법령 적용의 상충적 요소를 도출하고, 계획적 수단을 통해 관리할 수 있는 합리적인 대안을 제안하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구결과, 현행 제도의 문제점과 개선방안은 다음과 같다. 1. 어린이활동공간과 관련된 법령으로는 환경보건법에서 어린이 활동공간의 위해성관리, 노출평가, 환경안전관리기준 등 어린이 활동공간을 공간적 관점에서 환경안전성을 관리하며, 행안부는 어린이 놀이시설 안전관리법에서 어린이 놀이시설 설치, 검사, 안전점검 및 진단 등을 관리하고 있고, 지경부는 품질경영 및 공산품 안전관리법에서 안전인증, 자율안전확인, 안전품질표시, 어린이보호포장 등의 기준을 관리하고 있다. 2. 현행 법령에서 정한 활동공간 외에 추가 관리할 필요가 있는 공간으로 도출된 대상은 아동복지법에 의한 아동복지시설 중 '거실' 등의 실내공간, 도시공원 및 녹지 등에 관한 법률에 의한 도시공원 중 '어린이공원', 학원의 설립 운영 및 과외교습에 관한 법률에 의한 어린이를 대상으로 하는 학교 교과 교습학원 및 교습소 등의 '강의실' 등이며, 그 외에도 실내공기질과 관련하여 '$430m^2$ 미만의 어린이집 보육실'도 추가 관리가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 3. 법령의 중복 및 지나친 규제로 인한 놀이시설의 제작, 설치, 운영과 관련된 산업계에 미치는 부담을 저감하고, 불필요한 행정력 낭비와 예산 낭비를 최소화하며, 항목간 중복되거나 상이한 기준을 일원화할 필요가 있다. 본 연구를 통해 그동안 조경분야에서는 주로 놀이기구의 제작, 수입, 설치 및 놀이시설 운영관리 등에 국한되었던 영역이 활동공간 전체를 대상으로 기구, 재료, 시설 등을 포함하는 종합적인 영역으로 확대될 수 있는 계기가 될 수 있으며, 조경 전문 분야와 관련된 엔지니어링 산업, 학술, 유지관리 산업 등의 시장확대가 가능할 것이다. This study was carried out to find contradiction factors on laws for children's activity spaces and facilities and to suggest the rational options to control and manage those spaces and facilities by environmental and landscape planning methods. The results of this study are as follows: 1. The major laws related to the environmental safety for children's activity spaces are "Environmental Health Act (ERA)" for managing the environmental safety of children's activity spaces; "Safety Supervision Law of Children's Play Facilities(SSLCPF)" for the inspection and management for safety of children's play facilities; "Quality Management and Industrial Products Safety Management Law(QMIPSML)" for managing safety certification on children's play equipments. 2. The interior space such as "living room" by the Children's Welfare Law(CWL), "Children Park" by the Act on Urban Parks and Green Spaces(AUPGS), "classroom" on private educational institutes by the Act on Establishment and Operation Private Lesson and Training(AEOPLT) and "nursing room" of child care center smaller than $430m^2$ are needed to be managed as an activity space. 3. In order to reduce industrial burden in the production, establishment, construction, and operation and to minimize unwilling extra burden in the administration effort due to legally double regulate, it is necessary to mitigate the inspections on the equipment certificate from QMIPSML and overlapped or different factors and standards must be unified. With this study, the landscape domain could he enlarged from producing, import of play equipment and establishment, construction and operation of play facilities for a comprehensive range of activity spaces, and the landscape industry such as engineering industry, academic research, management, etc.

Pancreaticobiliary tract strictures are frequent Indications for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP). We have investigated the brushing cytology in order to determine its efficacy for diagnosis of pancreaticobiliary malisnancies. Brushing cytology during ERCP was evaluated in 56 patients with biliary tract stricture presenting to the Catholic Hospital of Taegu-Hyosung from April 1997 to August 1999. A comparison was made between the cytologic and histologic diagnoses on 32 cases from 30 patients. A diagnosis of malignancy was establishied in 78.1%, benign in 15.6%, and inadequate in 6.3% of the cases. Statistical data on cytologic diagnoses in strictures of the bile duct were as follows; specificity and sensitivity of blushing procedure was 100% & 83.3%, respectively: sensitivity of interpretation was 89.3%: with no false positive cases and 3 false negative cases: predictive value for malignancy was 100% & 100%, respectively: predictive value for benign was 28.6% & 40%,, respectively: overall diagnostic efficiency was 84.4%. It is concluded that brush cytology is a diagnostically reliable, highly specific technique for malignant lesions encounted at ERCP, although a negative result does not rule out the diagnosis of malignancy.

박미옥,박준건,김성길,김성수,PARK, MI-OK,PARK, JUN-KUN,KIM, SEONG-GIL,KIM, SEONG-SOO 한국해양학회 2021 바다 Vol.26 No.3

해양환경 정도관리제도는 자료의 신뢰성 확보와 측정·분석기관의 분석능력 향상을 위해 2010년부터 본격적으로 시행되었다. 시행부터 2020년까지 측정·분석기관이 정도관리제도에 참여한 누적 건수는 총 266건, 해양수산부에서 인증서를 발급한 건수는 182건, 현재까지 유효한 인증서는 42건이다. 정도관리 숙련도 평가를 위한 표준물질은 3개 분야에서 32항목이 개발되었으며, 해양환경측정망 운영, 해양오염영향조사, 해역이용영향평가, 해양심층수조사 및 어장환경조사 사업 등에서 주로 분석하는 영양염, 화학적산소요구량, 미량금속 등의 항목을 중심으로 개발되었다. 반면, 대부분의 사업에서 분석하는 해수의 수온, 염분 및 해저퇴적물의 PCBs, PAHs 등은 정도관리가 시행되고 있지 않아서 이 항목들에 대한 정도관리 확대가 필요한 시점이다. 현장 평가는 ISO/IEC 17025에 의해 평가 받은 실험실(162건)을 대상으로 품질시스템 평가 및 미흡사항을 분석하였다. 경영 및 기술요건에서는 직원들의 업무분장 미흡이 약 4.2%, 직원 교육 미흡이 약 8.7%로 취약하게 나타났다. 시험분야별로는 표준물질관리 미흡이 약 6.3%, 초자기구 세척 상태 등이 약 5.4%로 지적되었다. 미흡한 부분에 대한 문제점 및 개선점을 파악하여 제도를 지속적으로 보완해 나가야 할 것이다. The Marine Environment QA/QC management system has been operated since 2010 to secure the reliability of data and improve the analysis capabilities of measurement and analysis institutions. From 2010 to 2020, the cumulative number of measurement and analysis institutions participated in the QA/QC management system was 266. And the number of certificates issued by the ministry of oceans and fisheries is 182. A total of 32 reference materials for proficiency testing and interlaboratory comparisons have been developed. They were first developed focusing on items (Nutrients, COD) commonly analyzed in marine environmental measuring network, marine pollution impact surveys, sea area utilization impact assessment, deepsea water surveys, and information network on fishing ground environments. In addition, it is time to expand the filed of the QA/QC management system, such as seawater temperature, salinity, PCBs and PAHs in sediments, which are mainly analyzed in most monitoring programs. On-site assessment has been conducted for 162 laboratories according to ISO/IEC 17025 to evaluate their conformity of the quality management system and deficiency. In terms of management and technology requirements, about 4.2% of organizations showed insufficient division of duties among employees 8.7% of them revealed the lack of employee training. By test item, about 6.3% of organizations showed the lack of standard substance management and the state of the cleaning glassware was pointed out in about 5.4% of them. The QA/QC management system should be continuously supplemented by identifying the causes of nonconformities and area for improvement.

해수 중 광학적 특성 때문에 유색 용존유기물은 위성자료에 기반한 해양의 엽록소와 일차생산력의 정확한 측정에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2009과 2011년 여름철을 대상으로 서로 특이하게 다른 결과를 보고하고자 하였다. 이 두 시기의 여름철 차이는 것은 용존유기물에 영향을 주는 주요 공급원이 다른 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 현장 측정치와 위성자료로 부터 얻어진 엽록소 농도를 비교하여 위성자료로부터 구한 엽록소 농도 측정에 대한 용존유기물의 영향을 보았다. 그 결과, 2009년 MODIS를 이용한 엽록소 농도와 현장 측정된 엽록소 a 농도는 서로 유사하였으나, 2011년과 같이 유색용존유기물의 농도가 높았던 시기에는 이 두 농도 간에 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 2011년 여름 MODIS 자료와 비교하였을 때, GOCI 자료는 엽록소와 유색용존유기물 모두 현장 측정치 자료와 잘 일치하였다. 수직 혼합에 의해 공급된 표층 해수 중 높은 유색용존유기물의 존재는 위성자료에 의한 엽록소 농도의 과대평가에 영향을 주는 것으로 보인다. Because of impact on the underwater light field, CDOM can influence the accuracy of global satellite-based measurement of ocean chlorophyll and primary productivity. So we investigated the distribution and seasonal variation of CDOM in the East Sea during summer 2009 and 2011. Among them we report two distinctively different summer cases between 2009 and 2011 year, in which showed the different main sources for CDOM. Regulating factors and sources of CDOM in the East Sea were examined. Comparison between in situ and satellite derived Chl a and CDOM were made to find an influence of CDOM on measurement of satellite derived Chl a. Similar pattern and matching of MODIS Chl a with in situ Chl a 2009 was comparable, but significant discrepancy between MODIS Chl a and in situ Chl a was found, when CDOM was high in summer of 2011. GOCI data showed better matching with in situ data for both Chl a and CDOM, compared to MODIS data in summer of 2011. The presence of high CDOM at the surface layer supplied by vertical mixing seems to affect on the overestimation of Chl a by satellite data.

We report a case of 53-year-old man with plasmacytold transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder, which may be confused with plasmacytoma. The patient initially presented with gross hematuria and dysuria for two months. Cystoscopy and radiologic studios revealed multiple intraluminal protruding masses on the urinary bladder invading perivesical fat tissue. After urinary cytologic examination and cystoscopic biopsy, radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissections were done. Urine cytology showed single cells and poorly cohesive cells with round eccentric nuclei, bi-or multi-nucleation, indistinct nucleoli, coarse chromatin, and abundant basophilic cytoplasm within relatively clear background. The cytologic findings of tumor cells were similar to the plasma cells seen in plasmacytoma. The tumor of the bladder was composed on discohesive, individual cancer cells with diffuse pattern that simulated lymphoma or plasmacytoma. Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies clearly established the epithelial nature of the neoplasm. Recognition of this plasmacytoid type of transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder can avoid the misdiagnosis.

Abundance of a unicellular, Chroococcoid Picoplankton in the Nakdong River estuary, korea

박미옥,문창호,PARK, MI-OK,MOON, CHANG-HO The Korean Society of Oceanography 1992 韓國海洋學會誌 Vol.27 No.2

Picoplankton in the size range of $0.2-2.0{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ were enumerated in the Nakdong River estuary on 17 October, 1991 by using an epifluorescence microscope. Numerous minute cells emitting yellow to orange fluorescence at various strengths were recognized and the cells were moistly spherical in shape. Picocyanobacteria seem to comprise most of the picoplankton observed. They also occurred in very polluted water. Cell densities of picoplankton were in the range of $683-3,878{\;}cells{\cdot}ml^{-1}$ at the surface water. In vertical profiles, the Numbers were maximum at subsurface and minimum at surface layer. Percentage picoplankton biomass determined by chlorophyll ranged from undetectable levels to 5.9% of the total chlorophyll. The cell density and chlorophyll a concentrations of picoplankton were relatively low in the study area compared to those of other locations in world ocean, but the study of picoplankton may be important in understanding of microbial food web in the sea.

A case of plasmacytoma of the ovary and breast, which developed in a patient with a solitary plasmacytoma in the lumbar vertebra for nine months, was diagnosed cytologically and histologically. Enlargement of the right ovary and multiple palpable masses in the right and left breast were already present at six months after the diagnosis of vertebral solitary plasmacytoma. At eight months, plasma cell leukemia developed, and nine months the enlarged both ovaries, replaced by yellowish-gray solid tumors showed infiltration of immature plasma cells. The cytologic features of the ovarian tumors were same with those of the breast tumor. The tumor cells were of predominantly immature plasma cells with one or more nuclei. Some mature plasma cell had an eccentric nucleus with single nucleolus and peripherally clumped chromatin. Binucleated or multinucleated giant cells were often present. Histologically, sheets of poorly differentiated plasmacytoid tumor cells were separated by strands of hyaline fibrous tissue. On immunohistochemical stains, the tumor cells showed strong reactivity for lambda-light chain but no reaction for kappa-light chain, cytokeratin, or leukocyte common antigen.

A case of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH) of the lung occurring in a 62-year-old man is presented. After preoperative bronchial blushing and washing cytologic diagnosis of poorly differentiated carcinoma, surgical resection and lymph nodes dissection were performed. Subsequent histologic examination revealed a primary MFH. The diagnosis was confirmed by electron microscopic and immunohistochemical examinations. The review of the bronchial brushing and washing cytologic features disclosed many bipolar and a few unipolar spindle tumor cells with a "comel" configuration, mainly single cells, but also forming loose clusters. The nuclei were elongated and hyperchromatic and contained one or more irregular nucleoli. Scattered bizarre, multinucleated tumor giant cells were also present.

가을철 동해 남서부해역 초미소식물플랑크톤의 전체 식물플랑크톤 생체량에 대한 기여도 변동성

박미옥,이예지,PARK, MI OK,LEE, YE JI 한국해양학회 2017 바다 Vol.22 No.3

초미소플랑크톤은 빈영양해역의 중요한 일차생산자로서, 동해에서도 전체 식물플랑크톤의 생체량에 큰 기여를 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 동해는 전 세계 평균에 비해 표층 수온이 가파르게 증가하여, 이에 따른 해양생태계의 다양한 변화가 보고되고 있다. 그러나, 기후변화에 따른 동해 생태계의 변화 중 가장 기본적인 일차생산자의 군집구조의 변동성에 대한 연구는 매우 부족한 까닭에 식물플랑크톤 군집 조성의 장기적인 변동성을 모니터링할 필요가 있다. 따라서 우리는 동해 남서부해역에서의 환경 변화에 따른 초미소플랑크톤의 생체량 기여도와 식물플랑크톤 군집구조의 변화를 알기 위해, 2011, 2013, 2015년 가을철에 초미소플랑크톤(<$3{\mu}m$)의 전체 식물플랑크톤에 대한 기여도를 측정하였다. 크기별 분급 결과, 초미소플랑크톤의 전체 Chl a 생체량에 대한 평균 기여도는 각각 2011년 약 38%, 2013년 59%, 2015년 7%로 연변동성이 크게 나타났다. 각 연도 별, 환경요인 중 평년대비 수온 변화(${\Delta}T$)는 2013년에 $+1.6^{\circ}C$로 최고치를, 그리고 2015년에 $-0.9^{\circ}C$로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 동해 남부 해역의 표층수온과 식물플랑크톤 군집 구조에 대한 초미소식물플랑크톤의 기여도 사이에 밀접한 양의 상관관계를 확인하였다($R^2$>0.9). 향후 기후 변화에 의한 동해에서의 해수 수온 증가가 미치는 일차생산자의 군집구조의 장기 변화에 대한 지속적인 모니터링과 이해가 필요하다고 판단된다. Picophytoplankton, an important primary producer especially at the oligotrophic region, is known to contribute a significant portion of the total phytoplankton biomass in the East Sea of Korea. During autumn in the southwestern East Sea, frequent upwellings and oligotrophic conditions occur and annual variation of primary productivity is known to be significant. Moreover sea surface temperature (SST) of the East Sea is steeply increasing compared to global average increase, so various changes in marine ecosystem related with increase of SST are reported. Taking such circumstances into consideration, we measured the contribution from picophytoplankton fraction to total phytoplankton composition by size fraction of phytoplankton biomass during the autumn seasons from 2011, 2013 and 2015 and examined the variation of the phytoplankton composition. As a result of size fraction analyses, we found that the variation of contribution from picophytoplankton(<$3{\mu}m$) to total community of phytoplankton was high and the average fractions of picophytoplankton were measured as 38% (2011), 59% (2013), 7% (2015), respectively. The difference between measured SST and annual mean SST (${\Delta}T$) was highest ($+1.6^{\circ}C$) in autumn of 2013 and lowest ($-0.9^{\circ}C$) in autumn of 2015. The close positive correlation between ${\Delta}SST$ and fraction of picophytoplankton was confirmed($R^2$ > 0.9). The increase in SST at the southern East Sea was confirmed as one of the main environmental factors in the increase in the increase of the contribution from picophytoplankton. Monitoring of changes in the community structure of primary producers and the influences of the environmental factors including SST in the East Sea is necessary to understand the interactions of ecosystem of the East Sea and the climate change in the near future.

봄철 제주해협과 동중국해 북부해역에서 식물플랑크톤의 광합성 색소분석을 이용한 군집 분포 특성과 dinoflagellate 적조

박미옥,강성원,이충일,최태섭,Park, Mi-Ok,Kang, Sung-Won,Lee, Chung-Il,Choi, Tae-Seob,Lantoine, Francois 한국해양학회 2008 바다 Vol.13 No.1

2004년 봄철 제주해협과 동중국해 북부해역에서 식물플랑크톤의 군집 분포 특성과 해양 환경 요인의 관계를 파악하기 위해, 해양관측과 함께 HPLC를 이용한 식물플랑크톤 군집 조성과 flow cytometry를 이용한 초미소플랑크톤의 조성과 풍도를 조사하였다. 제주해협의 수온 염분 관측결과, 제주도 북부연안에 서쪽에서 동진하는 고온 고염 대마난류수와 제주해협의 표층 중앙부에 저염의 중국대륙연안수, 그리고 남해안 연안에 황해저층 냉수의 존재를 확인하였다. 제주도 연안에서 북쪽으로 약 20 km 떨어진 해역의 표층에 15 km 너비의 저염수(<33 psu)가 20 m 수심까지 분포하였고, 남북 방향으로 고온 고염수가 저온 저염수와 전선을 이루고 있었다. 동중국해 북부해역에서도 중국대륙연안수의 영향을 받은 저염수가 수심 20 m 표층에 존재하였고, 저층에는 약 33.5 psu 이상의 고염의 해수가 분포하고 있었다. Chl a는 $0.06{\sim}3.07\;{\mu}g/L$로, 중국대륙연안수의 영향을 받은 저염 수괴가 분포한 해역에서 매우 높아 봄철 증식이 있었음을 알 수 있었고, Chl a 최대층은 수심 25 m 부근의 수온약층 또는 하부에 존재하였다. 식물 플랑크톤 군집의 우점 분류군은 dinoflagellate, diatom과 prymnesiophyte, 소수 분류군은 chlorophyte, chrysophyte, cryptophyte, prasinophyte와 cyanophyte로 다양하게 이루어져 있었다. 제주해협과 동중국해 북부해역의 저염한(<33 psu) 표층수에 cyanophyte(Zea)와 prymnesiophyte (Hex-fuco)+chrysophyte (But-fuco)가 분포하고, 그 아래 수심 30 m까지 전선역에서 dinoflagellate의 지시색소인 peridinin이 최고 $1.0\;{\mu}g/L$ 이상의 농도로 Chl a 최대층에서 검출되어, 전체 식물플랑크톤의 생물량을 결정하는 주요종임을 확인하였다. 이로써 제주해협 및 동중국해 북부해역에서 2004년 5월에 dinoflagellate에 의한 적조의 발생이 확인되었다. 초미소플랑크톤 중 Synechococcus와 picoeukaryote의 풍도는 각각 $0.2{\sim}9.5{\times}10^4\;cells/mL$와 $0.43{\sim}4.3{\times}10^4\;cells/mL$로 매우 높게 측정되었으며, Prochlorococcus는 검출되지 않아 조사 해역이 쿠로시오 해류의 영향권에서 벗어나 있음을 알 수 있었다. 제주해협에서 picoeukaryote의 풍도는 쿠로시오 해수에 비해 약 $5{\sim}10$배 이상 높았고, Chl b (Pras+Viola)뿐 아니라 수온, 염분과 높은 양의 상관관계를 보여 picoeukaryote의 대부분이 prasinophyte로 이루어졌고, 고온 고염수의 기원을 가진 것을 알 수 있었다. 전체 Chl a 농도는 수온과 염분 모두 강한 음의 상관성을 보여, 제주해협 및 동중국해 북부해역의 일차생산과 식물플랑크톤의 생물량은 대부분 중국대륙연안수에 의한 영양염 공급에 크게 의존하고 있다고 판단된다. Distribution characteristics of phytoplankton community were investigated by HPLC and flow cytometry in Jeju Strait and the Northern East China Sea (NECS) in May 2004, in order to understand the relationship between physical environmental factors and distribution pattern of phytoplankton communities. Based on temperature and salinity data, three distinct water masses were identified; warm and saline Tsushima Warm Current (TWC), which is flowing from northwest of Jeju Island, warm and low saline water at the center of Jeju Strait, which is originated from China Coastal Water (CCW) and relatively cold and high saline water originated from Yellow Sea at the bottom of the Jeju Strait. At Jeju Strait, less saline water (<33 psu) of 15 km width occupied surface layer up to 20 m which located at 20 km offshore and strong thermal front between warm and saline water and cold and less saline water was found in the middle of the Jeju Strait. Vertical transect of temperature and salinity at the NECS also showed that low saline (<33 psu) water occupied the upper 20 m layer and cold and saline water was present at the eastern part. Chl a was measured as $0.06{\sim}3.07\;{\mu}g/L$. Spring bloom of phytoplankton was recognized by the high concentrations of Chl a at the low saline water masses influenced by the CCW and subsurface chlorophyll maximum layer appeared between $20{\sim}30\;m$ depth, which was at thermocline depth or below. Abundances of Synechococcus and picoeukaryote were $0.2{\sim}9.5{\times}10^4\;cells/mL$ and $0.43{\sim}4.3{\times}10^4\;cells/mL$, respectively. Dinoflagellate, diatom and prymnesiophyte were major groups and minor groups were chlorophyte+prasinophyte, chrysophyte, cryptophyte and cyanophyte. Especially high abundance of dinoflagellate was identified by high concentration (>1\;{\mu}g/L$) of peridinin at the bottom of the thermocline, which showed an outbreak of red tide by high density of dinoflagellates. Abundances of picoeukaryote in Jeju Strait were about $5{\sim}10$ times higher than abundance measured in Kuroshio water and showed a good correlation with Chl b (Pras+Viola), which implies the most of population of picoeukaryote was composed of prasinophytes. Prochlorococcus was not detected at all, which suggests that Kuroshio Current did not directly influenced on the study area. Based on the strong negative correlations between biomass of phytoplankton (Chl a) and temperature+salinity, the primary production and biomass of phytoplankton in the study area were controlled by the nutrients supply from CCW.
