This study was conducted to investigate the repellent efficacy of essential oils (Origanum vulgare, Pimpinella anisum, and Tanacetum cinerariifolium) and four plant extracts (Agastache rugosa, Capsicum annuum, Citrus reticulata, and Ginkgo biloba) against Tribolium castaneum (adults and larvae) and Plodia interpunctella (larvae). Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis revealed the presence of carvacrol, anethole, and jasmolin I as the predominant constituent in O. vulgare, P. anisum, and T. cinerariifolium, respectively. Furthermore, ethyl hexopyranoside, 9,12‐octadecadienoic acid, cyclopentanol, and 2‐cresol were identified in A. rugosa, C. annuum, C. reticulata, and G. biloba, respectively. The repellent efficacy of each essential oil, plant extract, and the combination of oils was evaluated using a specially designed cylinder trap for 120 h. Among the three oils, O. vulgare and T. cinerariifolium had greatest repellent efficacy against P. interpunctella larvae. T. cinerariifolium exhibited effective repellence against the adults and larvae of T. castaneum. Therefore, O. vulgare (O) and T. cinerariifolium (T) were selected for further investigation of combined effects. Two essential oils were mixed in three different ratios of OT1 (1:3), OT2 (1:1), and OT3 (3:1). The repellent efficacies of OT1 and OT2 against the adults of T. castaneum were significantly greater than that of OT3. OT1 was effective against the larvae of T. castaneum, whereas OT2 was effective against the larvae of P. interpunctella. OT1 enhanced the repellent efficacy by approximately five times against larvae of T. castaneum, compared with that of T. cinerariifolium. Overall, OT1 was selected as the best repellent substance against all the tested insects.

Background : Gastric cancer is the most common malignant tumor in Korea. surgical operation is one of the major treatment modalities for gastric cancer patients. Therefore, gastrectomy is one of the most common procedures in General Surgery. There were variation in length of hospital stay and medical treatment for gastrectomy between three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. Clinical pathways have received considerable attention as a tool for recucing the medical practice variation, increasing the efficiency of care process, and improving the quality of care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a clinical pathway for gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients. Methods : The clinical pathway for gastrectomy was developed and implemented by a multidisciplinary group in Asan Medical Center. A computerized clinical pathway program was developed and revised after a pilot test. A total of 145 patients underwent gastrectomy by three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. We compared the length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction, and unplanned readmission rate between the pre-pathway group(n=67) and the post-pathway group(n=78). We also investigated the degree of satisfaction among the physicians and nurses who were main end-users of the clinical pathway. Results : The clinical pathway was applied to all target patients. The average length of hospital stay was shortened from 12.7days to 10.6days(p<0.01). The degree of patient satisfaction with the care process changed from 90.3% to 89.2% after the implementation of the clinical pathway, but the difference was of satistically significant(p=0.761). Unplanned readmission rate was 2.9% in the pre-pathway group. More than 90% of physicians and nurses answered that the clinical pathway had been a useful tool in their medical practice. Conclusions : The findings of the study demonstrated that implementation of the clinical pathway for gastrectomy produced substantial reduction in the length of hospital stay while improving the quality of patient outcomes. The computerized clinical pathway program can be used as one of the powerful patient management tools for reducing the practice variations and increasing the efficiency of care process in Korea hospital settings.

Background: Micafungin, a potent inhibitor of 1,3-β-D-glucan synthase, is a novel antifungal agent of the echinocandin class. In vitro study showed that micafungin was effective against Aspergillus species as well as Candida species, but clinical data on the prophylactic efficacy against invasive fungal infections (IFIs) other than candidiasis are still lacking. Materials and Methods: We identified 60 consecutive adult hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients who received at least 3 doses of micafungin during neutropenic period. Micafungin was started as an alternative in patients who were intolerant or had adverse events (AEs) to primary prophylactic antifungal agents. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and analyzed the efficacy and safety of micafungin for prophylaxis against IFIs. Results: The patients either had autologous (n=9) or allogeneic (n=51: 1 syngeneic, 24 sibling, 26 unrelated donor) HSCT. Itraconazole oral solution (n=58) was the most frequently used first line antifungal agent for prophylaxis and was administered for median 11 days. The most frequent cause of switch to micafungin was vomiting (n=42). The duration of neutropenia and micafungin administration was median 13 and 12 days, respectively. A successful outcome was achieved in 45 (75%) patients. Empirical antifungal therapy was initiated in 13 (22%) patients. There were 2 cases (3.3%) of breakthrough fungal infections which comprised a probable invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and a possible invasive fungal sinusitis. There was no case of invasive candidiasis. A total of 53 (88%) patients experienced at least one AE regardless of causality during micafungin administration. The most frequent AEs were hypokalemia, vomiting, diarrhea, and elevated serum aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase. Among the aforementioned AEs, only 1 case of diarrhea could be classified as a probable relation with micafungin when causality was assessed. There was no AEs that caused discontinuation of micafungin. Conclusions: Micafungin seems to be a safe and effective agent for prophylaxis of IFIs including aspergillosis as well as candidiasis in HSCT recipients. However, further large, prospective, and randomized comparative studies are warranted for aspergillosis.

Objectives : In this study, we researched the change of 'quality of life(QOL)' of patient with panic disorder by KvSBQOL and the predictors affecting the change of 'quality of life'. Methods : 30 outpatient with panic disorder were tested by questionnare for panic disorder and KvSBQOL. Frst, they were classified as when healthy before panic episodes(a point of time 1), when first diagnosed as panic disorder in the psychiatry(a point of time 2), and when treated after diagnosis(a point of time 3). Second, the change of QOL scores in five factors at each point was observed, Third, the correlation between the change of QOL scores(point 3 score-point 2 score) and the several predictors(Onset age, Degree of change in panic symtom, Degree of change in anticipatory anxiety, Degree of change in agraphobia, Spended time to diagnose panic disorder, Duration of treatment) were studied. Results : 1) QOL mean scores of a point of time 1,2 and 3 were 166.267±38.24, 94.367±34.00, 161.367±34.37, respectively. 2) The change of QOL scores in all five factors of KvSBQOL(factor1 Competence, factor2 Psychological well-being, factor3 Stability, factor4 Physical well-being, factor5 Activity)at each point was significant(P<.000). 3) The change of QOL mean scores(point 3 score-point 2 score) have significantly negative correlation with the change of score in anticipatory anxiety but not other predictors. Conclusions : Difference in QOL scores between a point of time 1 and 3 is 4.9, indicating that the psychiatric treatment is important in improvement of QOL, the anticipatory anxiety is an important predictor of QOL(P<.001). and it suggested that diminished anticipatory anxiety is very important to maintain of high QOL in patient with panic disorder.

Twenty seven out of ca. 5,000 actinomycete strains, which were isolated from soil collected throughout the country, showed antimicrobial effects against fungi, Rhizopus stronifer (ATCC6227a), Rhizoctonia solani (KCCM 11271) and yeast, Candida albicans(ATCC10231). From these antifungal microorganisms, we further selected seven strains which seemed to produce insecticidal substances with in vivo test, using silkworm, Bombyx mori and beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua. Morphological and biochemical experiments revealed that three strains out of seven were streptomyces. Further investigations on the physical and chemical properties of these antifungal and insecticidal substances are now in progress.

The technology of removing phosphorous, considered as one of the most important control nutrients causing eutrophication in various water bodies, have been investigated by many researchers. Recently, phosphorous crystallization process is emerging as a new technology for phosphorous removal. In this study, waste oyster shells which can be easily obtained from the ocean, were used as a seed crystal, and their effects of several physical/chemical factors on the phosphorous removal efficiencies were examined by batch tests. Ca^(2+) and pH affected phosphorous crystallization process using waste oyster shells. As alkalinity of wastewater increased, phosphorous removal efficiencies gradually decreased. Phosphorous removal efficiencies were increased, as specific area and contact efficiency per unit area of waste oyster shells were increased. In case of high temperature, phosphorous crystallization process was rapidly advanced and phosphorous removal efficiencies were increased. Depending on X-ray diffraction analysis, it was showed that generation materials extracted from the surface of waste oyster shells with short reaction time were dominated by CaHPO₄ ·2H₂O, but progressed to Ca_(5)(OH)(PO₄)₃.

Dens evaginatus is a rare developmental anomaly in which an enamel-covered tubercle projects from the occlusal surface of a tooth. usually lower second premolar. When the tubercle fractures, the pulpal extension into the tubercle may be exposed, which results in early pulpal necrosis, periapical infection and even osteomyelitis. We found the dens evaginatus in 16-week-old fetal mandible. Microscopically, we observed the protrusion of dental papilla into the dental organ and hard tissue formation which will be the tubercle by serial section. This anomaly was reported to be very rare in tooth development of fetus, so we reported this finding with brief review of literatures.

이은수,전억한 경희대학교 생명자원과학연구원 1999 硏究論文集 Vol.20 No.-

휘발성 독성 물질 측정용 biosensor로서 P phosphoreum을 sodium alginate로 고정화하여 독성물질에 대한 반응성을 조사한 결과 각각의 독성물질마다 특이한 hnearity 관계식이 설정되는 농도 범위가 있었고 이를 이용하여 EC_50을 계산할 수 있었다 IC_50과 비교해보면 EC_50을 이용하는 것이 시간과 비용을 줄일 수 있고 낮은 농도의 독성 물질에 대해 더 민감한 반응을 나타내었다 특히, 휘발성이 강한 독성 물질 일수록 휘발성 방지를 위해서는 세포를 고정화하는 것이 더 효과적이었다 따라서 휘발성 독성물질에 대해서 free cell보다는 고정화한 세포가 더 민감하게 반응하였고 sodium alginate 고정화 세포보다는 strontium alginate로 고정화된 세포가 민감한 반응을 나타내었다 Immobilization method was investigated in order to maintain the stability of bioluminescence of Photobacterium for monitoring the volatile toxic substances. Sodium alginate was used as an immobilization matrix for P. phosphoreum. For the relationship between bioluminescene of immobilized P. phosphoreum and toxic substances, kinetic parameters of specific rate (μ), ratio of bioluminescence intensity (Io/I), and gamma (γ) value were estimated. The bioluminescence intensity was found proportional to the concentration of toxic substances and the free cells showed more sensitivity than immobilized cells when volatile substances were exposed to the cells. However, bioluminescence increased slightly with time because of volatility. Furthermore, P. phosphoreum immobilized on strontium alginate were rather favored in comparison with cells immobilized on sodium alginate for the response to substances used.

The inhibition pattern of three inhibitors(tacrine, decamethonium and propidium) on the hydrolysis of various thiocholine ester substrates by eel acetylcholinesterase was comparatively examined. When the substrate was acetylthiocholine, it showed a similar competitive inhibition by tacrine inhibitor, and a mixed type inhibition by decamethonium and propidium inhibitors. When the substrate was pentanoylthiocholine, it showed an uncompetitive inhibition by tacrine, and a noncompetitive inhibition by decamethonium. When the substrate was laurylthiocholine, it showed mixed type and uncompetitive inhibition by tacrine, and a competitive inhibition by decamethonium and propidium. Those results suggest that the active of acetylcholinesterase has the existence of hydorphobic site besides the anionic and esteratic site.

The study analyzed the physical and chemical properties of dry-torrefied (DT) and wet-torrefied (WT) biomass. Hemicellulose was mainly degraded by torrefaction, and the contents of glucan and lignin were relatively increased. The degradation rate of biomass was higher in WT (18.25%–23.13%) than in DT biomass (3.12%–3.83%), and it increased with increasing reaction time. Torrefaction improved the crystallinity of the biomass from 36.88% in the raw material to a maximum value of 60.97% in the biomass subjected to wet torrefaction for 30 min (WT-30). The thermal stability of torrefied biomass was improved in WT-10 (17.21%), WT-60 (15.38%), and DT-60 (8.74%) compared to that of the raw material (2.35%). The hydrophobicity and fine particle distribution of biomass were increa- sed by torrefaction, with the lowest water absorption (3.08%) and the highest distribution of fine particles (8.20%) being observed in WT-60 biomass.
