<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>n-In<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> nanorods codecorated with n-Fe<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> and p-Co<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB> nanoparticles were synthesized by the thermal evaporation of In<SUB>2</SUB>S<SUB>3</SUB> powders in an oxidizing atmosphere followed by the solvothermal deposition of Fe<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> and Co<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB> nanoparticles, and their ethanol gas sensing properties were examined. The p-Co<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB>-decorated n-In<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> nanorods exhibited stronger and faster response to ethanol gas than the n-Fe<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB>-decorated n-In<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> nanorods due to the larger modulation of the conduction channel width and interfacial potential barrier height, and stronger catalytic activity of p-Co<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB> than n-Fe<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB>. Furthermore, the codecorated In<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> nanorod sensor exhibited significantly stronger and faster response to ethanol gas than its mono-oxide nanoparticle-decorated counterparts under the condition of the same total amount of the decorating nanoparticles. The origin of the synergistic effects of codecoration on the ethanol sensing properties of the In<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> nanorod sensor is not the formation of compounds or nanoalloys between the oxides but the formation of a large number of the p–n junctions between the two different types of decorating oxides, i.e., Fe<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB>–Co<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB> p–n junctions in addition to the Co<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB>–In<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> p–n junctions.</P>

This work aimed to analyze current status of by-products generation and industrial symbiosis network in Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea. Manufacturing sector of the province mainly consists of electronics, machinery, steel, metal-working industries. Gumi and Pohang have the 1st and 2nd largest worker population in the manufacturing sector. 21,950.7 ton/d of waste is generated from the industries in 2011, of which 82.2% is recycled. The industrial waste, which is not recycled, is mainly composed of sludge cake from domestic wastewater treatment plants, waste plastic, incinerator ash, and slag. Pohang is the largest generating city of both total and the non-recycled industrial waste in the province, and most of the waste is from Pohang steel industrial park. Symbiosis map in Pohang steel industrial park shows that most of the current material symbiosis in the industrial park is for waste refractories and slag.

목적 : 국내 병원에서의 정주 ciprofloxacin 사용의 적정성을 평가하고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 2003년 9월 25일부터 8개의 대학병원에서 정주 ciprofloxacin을 받았던 290명의 연속적으로 모집한 성인환자를 대상으로 약제사용 평가(DUE)를 전향적으로 수행하였다. 이 연구에 사용된 DUE 기준은 미국병원약사회의 기준을 국내 실정에 맡게 수정하여 사용하였으며 1) 사용의 정당성에 관한 항목, 2) 사용 시 준수되거나 시행되어야 할 사항에 대한 항목, 3) 부작용에 대한 항목, 4) 치료 효과에 대한 항목으로 나누어 조사하였다. 결과 : 환자의 평균 나이는 54세였다. 33예(26.9%)에서만 약제 사용의 적정성 측면에서 기준을 만족하였고 91예(73.1%)에서는 사용이 적절하지 않았다. 정주 cipro-floxacin의 부적절한 사용의 흔한 원인은 수술 전후의 예방약 사용, 비뇨기계 처치 전의 예방적 사용, 열성 질환에 대한 경험적 사용 등의 순이었다. 사용 시 준수사항 의 측면에서는 사용 전 배양검사(73.8%)와 사용 중 배양검사(68.6%)가 낮은 수행 정도를 보였으나 그 외는 비교적 높은 적정성(82.4-100%)을 보여주었다. 정주 ciprofloxacin사용의 합병증은 드물었다. 치료 효과의 면에서 치료반응은 93.3%였다. 결론 : 약제 사용의 정당성 기준에 따른 정주 cipro-floxacin의 부적절한 사용은 연구에 포함된 대학병원에서 매우 흔하였다(73.1%). 그러므로 적절한 항생제 사용에 대한 교육과 제도적 장치가 매우 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. Background : To evaluate the appropriateness of intravenous (IV) ciprofloxacin usage in university hospitals in Korea. Materials and Methods : We prospectively evaluated the appropriateness of drug usage in 290 consecutive adult patients who received IV ciprofloxacin in eight teaching hospitals during the period from September 25, 2003 to November 15, 2003. Drug use evaluation (DUE) in this study was based on the modified standard by the American Society of Hospital Pharmacy with regard to the justification of drug use, critical and process indications, complications, and outcome measures. Results : Average age of the patients was 54 years. The use of IV ciprofloxacin was appropriate only in 33 cases (26.9%). Common reasons for inappropriate use of IV ciprofloxacin include perioperative uses or prophylactic injection before urologic procedures, and empirical therapy for febrile episodes. Most of the "critical indications" and "process indications" showed high rate of appropriateness (82.4-100%). However, the rate of taking culture and sensitivity test before (73.8%) and during ciprofloxacin use (68.6%) were low. Complications with ciprofloxacin use were rare. In 93.3% of cases, ciprofloxacin treatment was clinically effective. Conclusion : Use of intravenous ciprofloxacin is frequently inappropriate in tertiary care hospitals in Korea. Implementation of education program and antibiotic control system is critical in improving the appropriateness of antimicrobial use.

The study aimed to identify leaf sheath through the investigation a characteristic of leaf by planting depth and leaf sheath function through the investigation of effect of leaf sheath removals on growth and flowering in forcing of Lilium cultivars. The number of leaf sheath of 'Jolanda', 'Dream Land', 'Casablanca' were 6, 5, 11 in 0㎝ planting depth and 6, 5, 14 in 6㎝ planting depth. The number of leaf sheath in 'Jolanda' and 'Dream Land' were little different in according to planting depth. The other hand, the number of leaf sheath in 'Casablanca' were increased 3 when it were planted in 6㎝ planting depth. As leaf sheath were removed, plant height and stem root growth were decreased in 'Le Reve' and 'Casablanca'. Whereas the growth of basal root and flower number varied among of Lillium and stem diameter, the days of flowering and flower size were little different.

Because of the merit of nonoperative management of blunt hepatic trauma, which is the avoidance of operative morbidity, the use of nonoperative management has been extended. However the indications for such treatment have not been sufficiently determined. To suggest possible criteria for nonoperative management, we reviewed 95 cases with blunt hepatic injuries which were confirmed by abdominal exploration or abdominal CT in Gyeong Sang National University Hospital from January 1992 to October 2000. Of the 95 patients, 38 patients were treated with operation and 57 patients treated with nonoperative management. We analyzed the patients for age, sex, cause of injury, injured organ, injury grade, transfusion amount, and shock on admission, complications and mortality. The results are as follows; 1) The peak incidence of age was in the 3rd decade (20%), and the male-to-female ratio was 3:1. 2) The most frequent injury mechanism was traffic accidents (40, 42%). 3) The most frequently used diagnostic modality was abdominal CT (95 cases) in the nonoperative and the operative group. 4) On the liver injury scale of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST), 13 were grade I, 18 were grade II, 10 were grade III, 13 were grade IV, and 3 were grade V in the nonoperative group ; 1 were grade I, 6 were grade II, 18 were grade III, 8 were grade IV, 4 were grade V, and 1 were grade VI in the operative group. 5) Between the nonoperative and the operative groups, there were significant differences in the systolic blood pressure in the first 8 and 24 hours, transfusion amount, and GOT/GPT level (p$lt;0.05). 6) In comparison of complication, there were 3 cases of heaptic abscess,1 case of intrahepatic hematoma, 1 case of bile leakage, 1 case of rebleeding in operative group (15.7%). There were 2 cases of intrahepatic abscess, 2 cases of intrahepatic hematoma, 4 cases of biloma, 1 case of subcapsular hematoma in nonoperative group (15.7%). In mortality cases, 6patients died in operative group. Among them, 5patiens died from DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation) and multiorgan failure, 1patient died from ARDS (adult respiratory distress syndrome) in operative group and 2patients died from hypovolemic shock in nonoperative group. In conclusion, i) nonoperative management may be considered as a first choice in children and adults with blunt abdominal trauma and stable vital signs. ii) Patients with hemodynamically stable hepatic injury 8 hrs after resuscitation, even with an AAST OIS grade 4 injury, may be candidates for nonoperative management.

Background: Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) is a fatal respiratory infection frequently associated with immunocompromised (IC) conditions. Although PCP has been reported in non-immunocompromised (non-IC) patients, however, few studies have been conducted. This study was aimed to compare the clinical characteristics and prognosis of PCP in IC and non-IC patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients who were suspected of having PCP with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test positive for Pneumocystis jirovecii from January 2013 to May 2019. IC group was classified into human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hematologic, solid organ tumor, rheumatologic and immunosuppressive agent group. Results: A total 192 PCP cases including 176 IC cases and 16 non-IC cases were analyzed. Patients were older in the non-IC group compared with the IC group (72.5 vs. 62.0, P=0.002). Hematologic malignancy was the most common (47.2%), followed by HIV (14.8%) in the IC group. The interval between test for PCP-PCR and PCP treatment was shorter in the IC group compared with non-IC group (0 [0-3] vs. 4.0 [2.2-7.7] days, P=0.001). In-hospital mortality was not significantly different between IC and non-IC groups (43.2% vs. 62.5%, P=0.189). Age (odds ratio [OR] 1.05; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.09; P=0.002) and PaO₂/FiO₂ (OR 0.99; 95% CI 0.98-1.00; P=0.039) were the prognostic factors for in-hospital mortality in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. There was no significant difference between IC and non-IC group in 6-month survival. However, HIV group had better 6-month survival compared with non- IC group in the subgroup analysis (Hazard ratio 0.16; 95% CI 0.05-0.53; P=0.003]. Conclusion: Patients with PCP in non-IC group were older than IC group, and had similar prognosis as other IC group except HIV group.

‘청춘’ 밖의 청춘, 그들의 성인기 이행과 자아정체성

본 연구는 빈곤청년들의 성인기 이행과 자아정체성의 특징을 살펴보는 데 목적을 두고 있다. 오늘날 한국사회 청년들의 성인기 이행이 지체되고, 사회경제적 독립이 점차 어려워지면서 자아정체성 형성에도 커다란 변화가 일어나고 있다. 그리고 이는 오늘날 커다란 사회적 이슈이자 문제로까지 확산되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 변화가 모든 계층의 청년들에게 공통적으로 나타난다고 볼 수 없다. 본 연구가 초점을 맞추고 있는 빈곤 청년들은 ‘정상적인’ 가정생활, 학교생활, 노동생활을 경험하지 못했다. 이들은 빈곤한 경제상황 때문에 일찍부터 생계를 부담하고 가족관계를 재구성해야 했으며, 학업보다는 아르바이트에 시간을 더 쏟고, 노동현장에서는 저임금과 착취를 당하면서 청(소)년기를 보내고 있다. 그 결과 이들은 가정에서 ‘자녀’, 학교에서 ‘학생’, 일터에서 ‘노동자’라는 통상적인 의미에서의 정체성을 확립하지 못했다. 그럼에도 이들은 각기 나름의 전략을 통해 정체성을 형성함으로써 성인기 이행에 들어서고 있다. 이러한 논의를 바탕으로 본 연구는 빈곤계층 청년들의 성인기 이행은 상당히 압축적이지만 그에 따르는 사회적 인정이 뒷받침되지 못함으로써 자아정체성 형성에서 다양한 훼절이 나타나고 있음을 주장하고자 했다. 본 연구를 위해 총 25명의 20대 청년들이 인터뷰에 응해주었으며, 이들의 경험을 심층적으로 이해하기 위해 질적 방법론을 활용하였다. This study aims at exploring the transition to adulthood and self-identity of the disadvantaged youths or youths in poverty. It is well known that transition to adulthood for all youths is postponed in Korean society as well as in other societies. Growing hardship in achieving socioeconomic independence also makes Korean youths develop self-identity. This has become a big social issue and futhermore one of social problems. However, we cannot say that these changes are found common to youths across all social classes. Disadvantaged youths in Korean society have not experienced so-called “normal” life in family, school and the labor market. Earlier hardship in their life forced them to work to support family life, to reconstruct family relationship, and to spend more time in par-time work rather than in studying at school. They were spending their youthful years suffering from low wage and sometimes exploitation in the labor market unlike ordinary youths who manage “normal” family and school life in their 10s and 20s. As a result, they have failed to establish their identity as a child in family, a student in school and a worker in the labor market. However, they have utilized their own strategy for their identity construction, which eventually leads to a transition to adulthood later. For this research, we interviewed 25 youths in their 20s. We also collected their life history using semi-structured questionnaire and in-depth interview with them. We find that their transition to adulthood is very compressive, but frequently disrupted in various ways because of the lack of social recognition. This is one of the big differences in transition to adulthood between ordinary and disadvantaged youths in Korean society.

생쥐 위장관의 Interstitial cells of Cajal(ICC)에 대한 면역조직화학적 연구

김영철,차경훈,신무경,임건한,김주영,안병수,김장만,양경철,박도영,오재욱,장인엽 조선대학교 2003 The Medical Journal of Chosun University Vol.28 No.1

Background and Objectives : Interstitial cells of Cajal(ICC) are the pacemakers in gastrointestinal tract that modulates gastrointestinal motiliey and these cells also transmit neural input from enteric nerves to smooth muscles. Recent work on tissues from patients with motility disorders that suggest that loss or defect in ICC could be related to pathophysiology in human and animal models. Immunolabelling of ICC in intestinal wall is recently developed by using specific marker, anti-c-kit antibody. Immunohistochemistry was done for ICC network in attempt to provide a morphological basis for the mechanism regulating gastrointestinal motility Methods : Cryosection was done, and whole-mount preparations of mouse stomach, gastrointestinal tract were immunolabelled using the anti-c-Kit. Immunolabelled ICC networks were observed under a confocal laser scanning microscopy. Results : According to three dimensional reconstruction study, we found that the c-Kit-positive celluar networks were widely distributed in the gastrointestinal muscle (1) circular muscle layer(IC-IM), (2) myenteric plexus(IC-MY), (3) deep muscular plexus(IC-DMP) in ileum, (4) submucosal plexus(IC-SMP) and longitudinal muscle layer(IC-LM) in colon. Conclusion : The characteristic profiles of ICC celluar networks provide a morphological basis upon the mechanism regulating gastrointestinal motility. Additional studies for the enteric nerves-ICC interaction are need to evaluate the detailed roles of Icc in gastrointestinal tract.

In past decade, ectopic pregnancy developing in the previous cesarean section scar has been the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy and very dangerous because of the risk of uterine rupture and hemorrhage. These pregnancies once carried a maternal mortality rate of 40% to 45%, and until recent years they usually resulted in abdominal hysterectomy as a life-saving procedure. However, increased awareness of the importance of preserving childbearing capacity has led to several successful attempts at conservative management that include intraamniotic and systemic methotrexate administration, suction curettage followed by insertion of an intracervical 30-mL Foley catheter ballooning and angiographic artery embolization. We present three cases of ectopic pregnancy developing in the previous cesarean section scar in which successfully treated with conservative management.
