The authors applied extraventricular drainage combined with intermittent intraventricular injection of urokinase to 21 patients with intraventricular hematoma and ventricular dilatation. Ten-thousand lU of urokinase was injected every 12 hours for 3 days. Follow-up CT on day 4 after the treatment showed complete disappearance of the hematoma in the 3rd and 4th ventricles and a small residual hematoma in the occipital horns of lateral ventricles in the majority(14 patients) of th8 patients. Obstruction of the drainage catheter did not occur in any case. but transient pleocytosis in CSF study. ventriculitis. and rebleeding complicated 6. 4. and 4 cases. respectively. The duration of extraventricular drainage in the 17 patients without major complications was 3-l7 days. The clinical results on discharge were good recovery in 3. moderate disability in 1, severs disability in 4. vegetative state in 0.and death in 7 cases. The decisive events that were thought to have caused vegetative states or death in the 13patients with poor results were low initial GCS in 7 rebleeding in 4, ventriculitis in 1. pneumonia in 1, and unknown in 1 case. The method of extraventricular drainage combined with intermittent intraventricular injection of urokinase seems useful in removing intraventricular hematomas more rapidly. In regards to various other factors that influence the clinical course of severe intraventricular hematomas. further investigation including prospective studies is necessary to determine whether the intraventricular injection of urokinase significantly improves the final outcomes of those patients with severe intraventricular hematomas.

The purpose of this retrospective study was to define platelet indices in severe preeclampsia(N=98) and to compare them to normal nonpregnant values(N=93) during the years 1990-1993 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, College of medicine, University of Ulsan, Asan Medical Center. Indices evaluated included platelet count, mean platelet volume, and platelet distribution width. Means platelet volume was statistically different between two groups, however mean platelet count was significantly decreased(p=0.029) and platelet distribution width was significantly increased(p=0.0001) and platelet distribution width was significantly increased(p=0.0001) in severe preeclampria. Mean platelet volume versus platelet count in normal pregnancy showed a significant inverse nonlinear relationship(r=-0.39, 9<0.001) and that in preeclampsia was congruent with notmal nonpregnant valus. With same mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width showed tendency to shift to right in severe preeclampsia. These findings support the concept of severe preeclampsia as a compensated state of increased platelet comsumption comparing with normal pregnancy. We concluded from above results that quantification of platelet indices may have some value in screening for and following severe preeclampsia.

Background : Coronary disease is highly prevalent in patient with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and account for much of their observed morbidity and mortality. Troponin-I consistently maintains a high sensitivity and specificity and is most sensitive marker for ischemic heart disease (IHD). Method : We examed 49 hernodialyzed patients (22 male, 27 female) without evidence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) for 6 months. Biochemical markers were measured in serial predialysis blood samples. For analysis, we used two cardio-specific assays for troponin-T (cTnT) as well as for troponin-I (cTnI) and compared the results with CK-MB (reference value ≤ 4.0 ng/mL) concentration. Results : Myocardial ischemia was observed in 47% (23/49) of patients. cTnT level above 0.1 ng/mL. and cTnI level above 0.5 ng/mL, were observed in 22% (11/49) and 20% (10/49) of patients respectively. cTnI revealed significantly higher positive rate in patients with myocardial ischemia than the patients without myocardial ischemia (43 % vs 30%) (p<0.05). cTnT and CK-MB revealed no difference in positive rate between the patients with and without myocardial ischemia (cTnT : 30% vs 15% and CK-MB : 30% vs 19%). The sensitivity and specificity of cTnI to myocardial ischemia were higher than those of cTnT and CK-MB (sensitivity 43% vs 30% and 30%. specificity 100% vs 85% and 81%). Conclusion: Both cTnT and cTnI are useful in ruling out myocardial injury in chronic renal failure patients. But. cTnI is a more sensitivity and excellent specificity of ischemic heart disease than cTnT and CK-MB in hemodialyzed patients. In patients with ischemic heart disease, the presences of DM and advanced age were higher than those in patients without ischemic heart disease (p<0.05). Among the baseline characteristics old age, elevated LDH and diabeties were significant more frequent in the patients with elevation of cardiac troponin-I (p>0.5 ng/mL) than those with cardiac troponin-I (p<0.5 ng/mL), p=0.038, p=0.049, and p=0.045, respectively. Our results suggest that these cTnI is the potential diagnostic marker for the prediction of IHD in ESRD patients.

이홍우,이지열,김세웅,이충범,강성학,조용현,황태곤,박용현,윤문수 대한화학요법학회 2000 대한화학요법학회지 Vol.18 No.3

목적 : 호르몬 불응성 전립선암 환자의 생명을 연장시키는 치료법은 현재로는 없으며, 현 시점에서의 치료목표는 증상의 경감 및 소실에 따른 삶의 질 향상에 두고 있다. 호르몬 불응성 전립선암의 고식적인 치료에 일차적인 치료법으로 간주되는 mitoxantrone과 prednisone의 화학요법이 호르몬 불응성 전립선암 환자의 통증완화 및 삶의 질에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 방법 : 1998년 7월부터 1999년 12월까지 증상이 있는 18명의 호르몬 불응성 전립선암 환자를 대상으로 하였으며, 일차적인 치료의 목표는 환자 본인이 기록하는 McGill-Melzack 6단계 통증척도에서 진통제의 증량 없이 2점이 감소(또는 첫 점수가 1점일 경우 통증의 완전소실)하는 것으로 하였다. 이러한 기준은 최소 3주 간격으로 시행한 자가 기록조사에서 연속적으로 2번 이상 유지될 때 유효한 것으로 간주하였다. 건강과 관련된 삶의 질 측정은 전신적 치료의 임상적 응용을 위한 실제적인 측정방법으로 개발되어 환자가 직접 작성하는 전립선암 특이성 삶의 질 측정기구(Prostate Cancer-Specific Quality-of-Life Instrument : PROSQOLI)의 비례연속형의 자가측정 척도(linear analogue self-assessment scale : LASA)를 이용하였으며, ECOG performance status를 사용하여 전신상태의 변화도 측정하였다. 결과 : 통증의 경감으로 나타나는 고식적인 치료의 반응은 66.7%(12/18)에서 나타났으며, 반응의 지속기간은 2개월에서 10개월까지로 평균 4.2±3.6개월이었다. PROSQOLI로 측정한 삶의 질은 통증에 대한 고식적인 치료반응을 보인 12명(66.7%) 모두가 삶의 질이 개선되었으며 특히 통증, 변비, 소변보기, 전반적인 복지상태에서의 유의한(p<0.05) 증가를 보였다. 치료 후 혈장 PSA 수치는 고식적인 반응의 유무에 관계없이 별 다른 변화를 보이지 않았으며, 골주사 또는 전산화 단층촬영으로 측정한 방사선학적 병변은 고식적인 반응을 보인 2명을 제외하고 치료 전과 비교하여 차이를 보이지 않았다. 병합 화학요법과 관련된 특별한 부작용은 관찰되지 않았다. 결론 : 통증을 동반한 호르몬 불응성 전립선암에서 mitoxantrone과 prednisone의 병합화학요법은 66.7%의 환자에서 통증의 감소 및 삶의 질이 향상되었다. 현재는 혈장 PSA 수치, 병소의 크기나 개수등이 치료의 지침이나 치료결과의 판정을 위한 객관적인 기준으로 사용되는 경향이 있지만, 앞으로는 환자를 중심으로 통증을 포함한 삶의 질 측정이 고식적 치료 후 치료결과 판정에 있어 객관적이고 적절한 방법이 될 것이다. Background : There is no evidence that therapeutic modalities prolong the survival of patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer nowadays. The main goal of treatment is therefore improvement in quality-of-life including palliation of symptoms. We performed this study to investigate the benefit of mitoxantrone and prednisone chemotherapy in patients with symptomatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer using relevant end points of palliation regarding to pain and quality-of-life. Methods : From July 1998 to December 1999, we assessed the 18 patients with symptomatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer receiving mitoxantrone and low dose prednisone. The treatment end point was a palliative response defined as a 2-point decrease in pain assessed by a 6-point pain scale complemented by patients (or complete loss of pain if initially 1+) without an increase in analgesic medication and maintained for two consecutive evaluations at least 3 weeks apart. Health-related quality-of-life was evaluated with a series of linear analogue self-assessment(LASA) scale of the Prostate Cancer-Specific Quality-of-Life Instrument (PROSQOLI) and performance status was also measured. Results : Palliative responses were observed in 12(66.7%) of 18 patients. The duration of palliative responses were 4.2±3.6 months(range: 2 to 10 months). Treatment was well tolerated without specific side effects. There were no differences in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level following treatment and no significant changes of radiologic findings evaluated by bone scan and/or CT were noted except 2 cases after chemotherapy. All the responding patients had an improvement in quality-of-life scales and performance status, however serum PSA levels were not changed. Conclusions : Chemotherapy with mitoxantrone and prednisone provides palliation and an improvement in quality-of-life for more than half (66.7%) of the patients with symptomatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

The endoglucanase gene, egl6, of Trichoderma sp. was connected with the yeast ADH1 promoter, and the resultant plasmid, pVT-C4, was introduced into three S. cerevisiae host strains (YNN27, 2805, and SEY2102). Among each 80 transformants, the cell growth and expression level of endoglucanase were compared in test-tube cultivation, and three respective transformants for each host cells showing the highest expression level and cell growth were selected. When three recombinant yeast cells were batchwise cultivated for 48 hr in flask, the total activities of endoglucanase expressed were about 1140 unit/1 with 2805/pVT-C4, 1020 unit/l with SEY2102/pVT-C4, and 590 unit/l with (YNN27/pVT-C4. Irrespective of host strain, about 80% of the expressed endoglucanase was detected in the extracellular medium. In addition, it was also found that the recombinant enzyme was secreted into the culture medium as two major forms of lightly and heavily glycosylated proteins.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate indoor office environment using the concentrations of nicotine, 3-enthenyl-pyridine(3-EP), and respirable suspended particulate(RSP), which are indicators for environmental tobacco smoke(ETS) and the correlations between indicators and environmental conditions(smoking density, smoking index). The mean air charge per hour (ACH) in smoking rooms was 10.4 and most of the smoking rooms showed non-compliance withe ASHRAE standard value except only one smoking rooms. The concentrations of RSP, 3-EP, nicotine showed log=normal distributions, and became different statistically depending on smoking condition(p〈0.01). The geometric mean concentration of RSP in smoking room was 441.7 ug/㎡ that is far exceeded environmental standard(150 ug/㎡). This implies that fine particulate in smoking room should be carefully controlled considering smoking density and ventilation fate. The mean concentrations of nicotine and 3-EP were 93.4 ug/㎥, respectively. The correlation coefficients between RSP and SI, 3-EP and SI, and Nicotine and SI were 0.67, 0.84 and 0.74, respectively. The correlation coefficient between nicotine and 3-EP, nicotine and RSP, and RSP and 3-EP were 0.76,0.78 and 0.57 respectively.

Analysis of Local Acceptance of a Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility

Chung, Ji Bum,Kim, Hong-Kew,Rho, Sam Kew Blackwell Publishing Inc 2008 Risk analysis Vol.28 No.4

<P>Like many other countries in the world, Korea has struggled to site a facility for radioactive waste for almost 30 years because of the strong opposition from local residents. Finally, in 2005, Gyeongju was established as the first Korean site for a radioactive waste facility. The objectives of this research are to verify Gyeongju citizens' average level of risk perception of a radioactive waste disposal facility as compared to other risks, and to explore the best model for predicting respondents' acceptance level using variables related to cost-benefit, risk perception, and political process. For this purpose, a survey is conducted among Gyeongju residents, the results of which are as follows. First, the local residents' risk perception of an accident in a radioactive waste disposal facility is ranked seventh among a total of 13 risks, which implies that nuclear-related risk is not perceived very highly by Gyeongju residents; however, its characteristics are still somewhat negative. Second, the comparative regression analyses show that the cost-benefit and political process models are more suitable for explaining the respondents' level of acceptance than the risk perception model. This may be the result of the current economic depression in Gyeongju, residents' familiarity with the nuclear industry, or cultural characteristics of risk tolerance.</P>

Poster Session : PS 0907 ; Lower GI Tract : Clinical Course of Patients with Crohn`s Disease Diagnosed by Bowel Resection in Korea: Results from the Connect Study

Backgound: The previous European studies revealed that early surgery led to a more stable clinical course than surgery performed during the course of disease.The aim of this study was to compare the clinical course of CD following bowel resection performed at the time of diagnosis (early surgery) and during the course of the disease (late surgery). Methods: Total 1337 medical records were reviewed in the population-based cohort database which includes CD patients diagnosed before 2009 in Korea. We selected data of patients who underwent bowel resection. Age, sex, disease phenotype, time of surgery, medication history such as corticosteroid, immunomodulators, and biologics, admission history, and further operation history were assessed. The Statistical analysis: Logistic regression, Gehan`s wilcoxon method and Cox`s proportional hazards regression model. Results: 278 CD patients who had undergone bowel resection were involved. Among them, 109 patients underwent surgery at the time of diagnosis, while 169 underwent surgery 90.31 months (range 1-277) after diagnosis. The mean follow-up period after surgery was 97.7 months (range 1-323). Use of systemic steroids and biologics is signifi cantly higher in late surgery group than early surgery group (p = 0.004, and 0.013, respectively). Higher use of immunomodulators was shown in late surgery group than early surgery group with borderline signifi cance (p = 0.061). Early surgery was associated with lower clinical recurrence represented by use of biologics (Wilcoxon test p=0.015).Early surgery and less use of steroids were independent variables associated with less use of biologics by multivariate analysis. Conclusion: Early surgery is associated with less use of steroids and maintains longer clinical remission period compared to late surgery.

Public perception of energy transition in Korea: Nuclear power, climate change, and party preference

Chung, Ji-Bum,Kim, Eun-Sung Elsevier 2018 Energy Policy Vol.116 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Since President Moon Jae-in took office in May 2017, South Korea has been embroiled in a major social controversy about energy transition. The president's pledge to transition toward renewable energy represented a dramatic change in Korean energy policy, which has been focused on nuclear and coal-fired plant expansion policies since the 1970s. This study examines public perception of energy, with focus on the relationship between nuclear power and climate change as well as party preferences, based on a nationally representative survey of Korea. The survey data shows that the risk-risk tradeoff strategy, reframing nuclear power generation as a way to mitigate the risks of climate change, seems to be ineffective in Korea. Furthermore, nuclear power represents the values of the elderly, materialists, developmentalists, and conservative political parties. These results suggest that Korean energy policy is a very political issue rather than a strictly scientific or economic one. Therefore, this issue should be deliberated through a democratic process.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> The Koreans are less supportive of nuclear power as a solution to climate change. </LI> <LI> Nuclear power represents the values of the materialists and developmentalists. </LI> <LI> Nuclear power is favored by supporters of conservative political parties in Korea. </LI> <LI> The determination of future energy sources is a problem of democracy. </LI> </UL> </P>
