기존의 특수건강진단과 작업환경측정을 통한 직업병 관리가 진폐증, 소음성난청 등의 소수 특정질환에 국한되고 실제 직업병 발생 규모 파악이나 신종 직업병의 발견에 한계를 보인다는 사실은 산업의학전문가들 사이에서도 공감을 이루고 있다. 미국과 영국 등에서의 직업성질환 감시체계에 대한 경험은 우리 나라의 직업성질환 감시체계 구축에도 새로운 자극제가 되면서, 1998년이후 인천, 대전, 여천, 구미, 부울경 지역에서 지역 직업성질환감시체계를 산업보건관리의 중요한 시스템으로 구축하려는 노력이 확산되고 있다. 새로이 구축되어지는 이들 지역 직업성질환 감시체계는 감시하고자 하는 대상질환, 활용 가능한 인적자원 및 자료원, 지역 의료체계의 특수성 등에 따라서 목적과 방법을 달리하면서 독특한 형태로 발전을 하고 있다. 각 지역단위 감시체계들이 그 상황에 맞게 독특한 목적과 전략들을 발전 시키면서도, 향후 발전할 국가적인 차원의 직업성질환 감시체계 구축을 위하여 직업성질환 감시의 기본 전략 등을 공유하는 등의 노력이 필요하다. 환례 정의 및 기본적인 등록 서식의 공유, 직업성질환 감시 자료원의 발굴, 공동의 정보 네트워크 및 직업성질환 감시 데이터베이스 구축 등 직업성질환 감시활동을 지원하기 위한 여러 기초 인프라 구축에 힘을 모아야 할 것이다. 우리 나라에서 직업성질환 감시체계를 성공적으로 구축하기 위해서는 수집된 자료의 질 관리를 위한 직업성질환 감시의 원칙 제정과 감시 전략의 공유 등이 필요하며, 전국적인 직업성질환 감시체계의 하부구조라고 할 수 있는 지역감시체계의 기초 토대 마련과 강화작업이 절실하게 필요하다.

Locoregional recurrence is the most common type of recurrence in surgical operation of gastric adenocarcinoma, and peritoneal dissemination is one of the most difficult problems in advanced gastric adenocarcinoma treatment. Because the peritoneal cavity is the most common site of the first recurrence after gastric cancer resection, intraperitoneal chemotherapy seems a logical choice for cancer chemotherapy. In this study, Mitomycin C (MMC)-activated charcoal (CH)-alginate (ALG) beads were prepared by the mixtures of CH particles adsorbed with MMC as an anti-cancer drug and aqueous alginate solution. The alginate is recognized as biodegradable, nontoxic, and biocompatible. The release of MMC from the beads in 0.1 M Tris buffer was stable and continuous until about 1 week. The MMC-CH-ALG beads can be applied in the peritoneal cavity for intraperitoneal chemotherapy since they provide a good adhesiveness on the tissue and controlled release pattern of the drugs.

Background : Since highly active antiretroviral therapy has lengthened the life span of individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the importance of malignancy associated with HIV has been increased. The relative frequencies of malignancies in HIV infected patients may vary in different race and region. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and characteristics of malignancies in patients with HIV infection in South Korea. Materials and Methods : To identify HIV patients with malignancy, we reviewed the electronic database of pathological reports for all HIV-infected patients seen from January 1986 to December 2005 at the Seoul National University Hospital. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of them. Results : Among 850 patients infected with HIV, 33 episodes of malignant diseases were diagnosed in 32 patients (3.76%). Thirty were males, and median age was 46 years (range 29-70). At the time of the diagnosis of malignancy, median CD4^(+) lymphocytes count was 100/uL (range 5-620) and in 27 (82%) patients, CD4^(+) lymphocytes count were less than 200/uL. For 13 patients (40%), malignancy was initial presentation of HIV infection. Excluding patients initially diagnosed as malignancy, median follow-up duration from the first visit to diagnosis of malignancy was 36 months (range 3-96). Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was the most frequent malignancy (13 patients), followed by Kaposi's sarcoma (7), Hodgkin‘s disease (3), acute myeloid leukemia (1), and other solid cancer (9) including one case of anal cancer associated with human papillomavirus. Among 13 patients with non- Hodgkin's lymphoma, 4(31%) achieved the complete remission after chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, and had been followed without evidence of recurrence. Conclusion : Malignancy was diagnosed in 3.76% of patients infected with HIV. Non-Hodgkin‘s lymphoma is the most prevalent malignancy in HIV patients in South Korea. 목적 : 효과적인 항레트로바이러스 다제요법이 도입됨에 따라, HIV 감염환자들의 수명이 증가되었고, 이에 따라 HIV 감염환자에서 악성종양의 중요성 또한 증가하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 HIV 감염환자에서 악성종양의 유병률과 호발하는 악성종양의 특성을 밝히는 것이다. 재료 및 방법 : 1986년부터 2005년까지 서울대학교병원에서 치료를 받은 HIV 감염환자의 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하였고, 병리학적 검사 결과를 검토하여 악성종양이 진단된 환자들을 대상으로 연구를 시행하였다. 결과 : 총 850명의 환자 중, 32명(3.76%)에서 33예의 악성종양이 진단되어, 악성종양의 발병률은 1,000인년 당13.0명(95% 신뢰구간: 8.6∼17.4명)이었다. 그 중 남자는 30명이었고, 악성종양 진단 당시 연령의 중간값은 46 (29-70)세이었다. 악성종양 진단받을 당시, CD4 림프구 수의 중간값은 lOO/uL (5-620 uL) 이었고, CD4 림프구수가 200/ uL 미만인 환자가 27명(82%)이었다. 악성종양에 대한 검사 도중에 HIV 감염사실이 밝혀진 환자가 13명(40%)이었다. HIV를 진단 받은 후 악성종양이 발병한 환자들에서, HIV 진단 후 악성종양의 발병까지는 평균 36개월(3-96개월)이 걸렸다. 13명의 HIV 감염 환자에서 진단된 비호지킨림프종이 가장 흔한 악성종양이었고, 이외에 카포시육종이 7명, 호지킨병이 3명, HPV와 연관된 항문암이 1명의 HIV 환자에서 진단되었다. 그 밖에 급성백혈병, 방광암, 췌장장, 폐암, 진행성위암, 갑상선암, 간세포암, 후두암이 각각 1예씩 진단되었다. 비호지킨림프종이 진단된13명 환자 중, 4명(31%)은 항암치료 및 방사선치료를 받아 완전관해가 되었고, 현재 재발의 증거 없이 외래에서 경과 관찰 중이다. 결론 : 우리나라 HIV 감염환자에서 악성종양의 유병률은 3.76%이었고, 비호지킨림프종이 가장 흔한 악성종양이었다.

송진수,최평균,송경호,조재현,김성한,방지환,이창섭,박경화,박경운,신수,최희정,김의석,김동민,이미숙,박완범,김남중,오명돈,김의종,김홍빈,최강원 대한감염학회 2006 감염과 화학요법 Vol.38 No.6

목적 : 최근 전세계적으로 지역사회획득 메티실린내성 황색포도알균(community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, CA-MRSA)의 보고가 증가하고 있다. 하지만, 우리나라에서는 CA-MRSA 감염증에 대한 증례보고만 있을 뿐 아직까지 체계적인 연구결과가 없는 실정이다. 저자들은 국내에서 CA-MRSA의 빈도, 감염증의 임상적 양상, 분리된 균주의 항균제내성 양상을 조사하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 2005년 1월부터 2005년 6월까지 7개 병원에서 MRSA가 분리된 환자의 명단을 파악한 후 의무기록지와 건강보험심사평가원의 자료를 검토하였다. 외래나 응급실에서 혹은 입원 후 72시간 이내에 균주가 분리되고 MRSA 획득과 관련된 위험인자가 없는 경우 CA-MRSA로 정의하였으며, 분리된 균주의 임상적 의미에 따라 원인병원체(pathogen), 집락화(colonizer), 미결정(undetermined)으로 분류하였다. Penicillin과 oxacillin을 제외하고 3개 이상의 다른 계열 항균제에 내성이면 다제내성으로 정의하였다. 결과 : 연구기간동안 총 3,251주의 황색포도알균이 분리되었으며, 이 중 MRSA는 1,900주(58.4%)였다. MRSA 가운데 CA-MRSA는 114주(6.0%) 였으며, 이들이 분리된 부위는 귀(62주), 비뇨기계(14주), 피부 및 연부조직(11주), 호흡기계(10주), 혈액(3주) 등이었다. CA-MRSA 균주 가운데 집락균은 22주, 원인병원체는 22주였으며, 나머지 균주에 대해서는 그 임상적 의미를 결정할 수 없었다. 항균제 감수성 검사를 시행한 73균주 중 47주(64.4%)는 다제내성이었다. CA-MRSA 감염증 22예 중 피부 및 연부조직 감염(9예)과 중이염/외이도염(9예)이 가장 흔하였다. 침습적 감염증(invasive infection)은 4명(원발성 균혈증 3예, 감염성 관절염 1예)에서 확인되었지만, CA-MRSA 감염증으로 사망한 환자는 없었다. 결론 : 병원내 감염증에서는 MRSA가 심각한 문제이지만, 아직까지 지역사회 감염증에서 CA-MRSA는 흔하지 않았다. Background : Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection has emerged in patients who do not have the established risk factors. In Korea, little is known about the epidemiology and clinical features of community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA). Material and Methods : Clinical microbiology laboratory databases of 7 hospitals were reviewed to identify the patients from whom MRSA was isolated during the period of January to July 2005. Only one isolate per patient was enrolled. In order to identify the risk factors of MRSA acquisition, the medical records and the Health Insurance Review Agency databases were reviewed. CA-MRSA was defined as MRSA isolated from patient without established risk factors. We analyzed patient demographics, underlying medical conditions, characteristics of infection, and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles. Results : Of total 3,251 S. aureus isolates, 1900 (58.4%) were MRSAs. Of the MRSA isolates, 114 (6.0%) were CA-MRSA. Of 114 CA-MRSA isolates, 22 (19.3%) were colonizers, 22 (19.3%) were pathogens, and the clinical significance of remaining 70 (61.4%) could not be determined. Median age of the 22 patients with CA-MRSA disease was 47 years. Nine patients had skin and soft tissue infections, 9 ear infections, 3 bacteremia, 1 septic arthritis. Seven patients had underlying medical disease. None died of the CA-MRSA infections. Of the 73 isolates of CA-MRSA, 47 (64.4%) were resistant to more than 3 classes of antibiotics besides β-lactams. Conclusion : Although MRSA is highly prevalent among hospital-associated S. aureus infection, CA-MRSA infections are not common.

The authors have experinced 8 cases of chronic carbon disulfide poisoning in workers engaged in the viscose rayon industry during the period between March 1987 and September 1988. Cases of carbon disulfide poisoning has been reported in Korea till then. Carbon disulfide is primarily a neurotoxic poison, therefore those symptoms indicating central and peripheral nervous damage are very important. And it has toxic effects on the various organs such as skin, eye, ear, and respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hepatic, genitourinary, hematological, and endocrine system. Occupational histories were obtained, and clinical findings and laboratory findings were analysed on all cases. 1. Seven (7) cases had been exposed to carbon disulfide for more than 10 years, and 1 case has been exposed for 6 years. 2. Most common symptoms were neurological symptoms such as disturbance, extremity weakness, paresthesia, and speech disturbance. 3. Involvement of central nervous system was noted in 7 cases through abnormal findings of electroencephalography, brain computerized tomography, neurological signs, and psychological test. Needle electromyography and nerve conduction study showed polyneuropathy in all cases. Ophthalmological abnormalities were found in 7 cases, mainly retinal microaneurysms and peripheral constriction of the visual field. Renal damage appeared in 4 cases, increase of serum cholesterol and/or triglyceride level appeared in 3 cases, and decrease of erythrocyte and hemoglobin appeared in 2 cases. And hypertension appeared in 2 cases, and diabetes appeared in 1 case. One(1) case who has been exposed to carbon disulfide for 6 years showed polyneuropathy and peripheral constriction of the visual field.

It has been revealed from several studies that garlic is highly effective on protection of cadmium or mercury poisoning as much as well-known chelating agents of 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid(DMSA) and N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (APEN). This study was conducted to find out the effect of garlic on excretion of cadmium as an effort to reveal the mechanism of the protective effect and compare it with the effects of DMSA and APEN. The cadmium was administered via intraperitoneal route for 3 days. The experimental agents of Garlic, DMSA and APEN were dosed via oral route and the agents had been administered from the day before the injection of cadmium for 12 days in the first step and then they had been administered for 7 days from two days after completing 3 days injection of cadmium. Feces and urine of experimental rats were collected separately at every 24 hours using metabolic cages, and the cadmium concentration in the material was measured by the atomic absoption spectrophotometry. The results of the study were as follows; 1. When the experimental agents were administered from the day before the injection of cadmium, the excretion of cadmium via feces was excellent for 10 days but that via urine was poor in the garlic treated group comparing with that of DMSA or APEN treated group. It suggests that the garlic enhance the excretion of cadmium via feces more than urine. 2. When the experimental agents administered from 2 days after the 3 days injection of cadmium, the excretion of cadmium via feces and urine was not so good as expected in the garlic, DMSA or APEN treated group comparing with the result of the group treated with cadmium alone. Though the differences of cadmium excretion amount were not remarkable, the excretion amount was high in the APEN treated group, the DMSA treated group and the garlic treated group in order. The excretion amount was much higher in feces than urine. It suggests that the garlic hardly facilitate the cadmium excretion if the garlic was administered after the poisoning happened.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate effects of Ezen Good Orthotics applied to 30 middle-aged patients with chronic joint pains around shoulders, waists and knees. The effects were measured and analyzed by means of MPQWL, VRS, VAS-I and VAS-U after 4, 8 and 12 weeks, respectively, during the 12-week application of the orthotics. From the findings of the measurement and analysis, following conclusion could be drawn: 1. Significant reductions in MPQWL were confirmed at each period of measurement since the use of Ezen Good Orthotics(p<.001). 2. Significant reductions were also revealed in VRS at each period of the measurement(p<.001). 3. VAS-I, too, turned out to be reduced significantly after 4-, 8- and 12-week use of Ezen Good Orthotics(p<.001). 4. The same reductions were found as well in VAS-U 4, 8 and 12 weeks after the application of the Ezen Good Orthotics(p<.00l). In sum, it may be concluded from the outcomes that the use of Ezen Good Orthotics may help reduce drastically chronic joint pains, mostly effective to remove them speedily and safely. Patients, rehabilitation therapists and health experts are, therefore, recommended to employ the products as safe and effective means to control pains. Continued researches and experiments should further be conducted to collect more data from the larger population of patients with particular diseases in clinical situation, though.

For the development of a large-scale dialysis process for silk fibroin solution, a batch and continuous dialysis chamber was designed and built, which are to be used as a unit module for the process. A series of dialysis experiments were carried out to estimate the kinetic parameters for dialysis using the solutions of salt-solubilized silk fibroin. The solution was dialyzed by distilled water either batch-wise or continuously. Dialysis kinetics was monitored by measuring refractometery at high salt concentration and conductivity at lower salt concentration. The apparent dialysis coefficients were 5.4g/m2-hr and 1.8g/m2-hr, for well mixed batch and continuous dialysis, respectively. The alteration of molecular weight distribution of dialyzed silk fibroin solution was monitored.

배 경 : 거대세포바이러스 감염은 인간면역부전바이러스 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV) 감염자에서 발생하는 가장 중요한 기회감염증의 하나이다. 특히, 국내에서는 95%이상의 국민이 거대세포바이러스의 1차감염을 경험한 상태이므로 에이즈 환자에서 거대세포바이러스 질환의 빈도가 높을 것으로 예상된다. 대상 및 방법 : 1987년 10월부터 1996년 9월까지 서울대학교 병원에서 추적 관찰하였던 128명의 HIV 감염자를 대상으로 하였다. 이들 환자의 의무 기록에서 임상 자료를 얻었다. 거대세포바이러스 망막염은 안과 전문의의 임상적인 소견으로 진단하였으며, 위장관 등 망막이외 부위의 거대세포마이러스 질환은 조직학적으로 확인된 경우에 한하였다. 결 과 : 대상환자 128명의 추적관찰기간은 중앙값이 6(0∼59)개월 이었으며 7명 (5.4%)에서 거대세포바이러스 질환이 발생하였다. 거대세포바이러스 질환은 망막염이 6예, 식도염이 2예, 대장염이 1예, 폐렴 및 부신감염이 1예, 범발성 감염이 1예였다. 거대세포바이러스 질환의 발생빈도는 CD4+ 림프구 수가 적을수록 높았으며, CD4+ 수가 200/㎣미만인 환자 중 15% (6/33)에서 거대세포바이러스 질환이 확인되었다. 11예 중 9예를 ganciclovir로 치료하였으며 이중 7예에서 호전 또는 진행의 억제가 확인되었다. 추적관찰이 가능한 6예 중 3예 (50%)에서 재발하였다. 결 론 : 국내 에이즈 환자에서 거대세포바이러스 질환은 비교적 흔한 기회감염증이다. Background : Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is one of the important opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. In Korea, seroprevalence of IgG against CMV is over 95%. Therefore, CMV diseases are expected to be a prevalent opportunistic infection in AIDS patients. in Korea. Methods : We reviewed the medical records of 128 patients with HIV infection who visited the Seoul National University Hospital during the period from Nov. 1987 TO Sep. 1996. All the patients were examined by one ophthalmologist and the diagnosis of CMV retinitis were made by funduscopic findings. Other CMV diseases were diagnosed when histopathologic examinations showed the characteristic cytomegalic cells. Results : Median duratior, of follow-up was 8 months. Eleven CMV diseases were found in 7 patients (5.4%): 6 patients ahd retinitis, 2 esophagitis, 1 colitis, 1 pneumonitis, and one patient developed disseminated infection. Fifteen percent (6/33) of the patients whose CD4+ lymphocyte counts were less than 200/㎣ at baseline developed CMV diseases. Out of the 9 cases treated with ganciclovir, 7 improved or were stabilized. No patient received maintenance treatment and 3 had relapsed. Conclusion : CMV diseases are common opportunistic infections in AIDS patients in Korea.
