CMT와 HNPP 말초신경증은 가장 흔하게 발병하는 운동 및 감각 말초신경계의 선천성 질환이다. CMT1과 HNPP의 유전적 원인으로는 염색체 17p11.2-p12의 1.5 Mb 지역의 중복과 결실이 각각 50%이상과 70% 이상을 차지하는 것으로 알려졌다. 본 연구에서 한국인 CMT1 및 HNPP 환자를 대상으로 중복 및 결실을 조사하였는데, 31 CMT1 가족 중 13 가족에서 중복을 보였으며 (42%), 24 HNPP 가족 중 19 가족에서 결실을 보였다 (79%). 17p11.2-p12 중복을 보이는 CMT1A 환자가 HNPP 결실환자보다 발병 연령, 발병 기간, 근육 이양성 및 족 기형성에서 훨씬 심한 증상을 보였다. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) are most common inherited motor and sensory peripheral neuropathies. The majority of CMT1 patients have a 1.5 Mb duplication in chromosome 17p11.2 while most HNPP patients have a deletion of the same region. In the analysis of Korean CMT1 and HNPP patients, each HNPP deletion and CMT1A duplication was observed from 79% (19 families) among 24 HNPP families and 42% (13 families) among 31 CMT1 families. CMT1A duplication patients showed more severe clinical symptoms than HNPP deletion patients, when we examined oneset age, disease duration, muscular atrophy, foot deformity and scoliosis.

Objectives : We examined the effects of INM 176 (K-l107) compared with placebo on the cognitive functions of 92 old aged subjects with cognitive impairment. Methods : This was a prospective, 12 week, double-blind, Placebo-controlled clinical trial. The elderly who achieved a score of less than 25 points on the K-MMSE or showed a high risk of Alzheimer's disease from the 7-Minute Neurocognitive Screening Battery were considered to have objective impairment and were selected as subjects for this study. The subjects were randomized to placebo or INM 176 group. The outcome measures were from the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog), the Instrumental Activities ofDaily Living (IADL) and the Korean Geriatric Depression Scale (KGDS) and two kinds of computerized priming tests. After setting the total error score in the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive section (ADAS-cog) as the repeated measurement factor, an analysis of variance of the combined factor design was done between the placebo and INM 176 group. Results : The interaction effect of time (pre- and post-trial) and group (placebo and INM 176 group) was significant in the analysis of the ADAS-cog's total error score. The INM 176 group's total error score in the ADAS-cog decreased significantly (p<0.01), whereas the placebo group showed a slight increase. The mean changes in IADL and GDS from baseline scores favored in the INM 176 group than in the placebo group. Outcome changes ofADAS-cog, IADL, KGDS scores during the 12 week clinical trail ofINM 176 and placebo demonstrated favorable responses in the INM176 administered group. Conclusions : This is a preliminary clinical trial result of INM176 as a memory pill. Based on these results, INM176 may be a candidate molecule for the improvement of cognitive functions, including memory, Further clinical trial should demonstrate its efficacy.

"Journal of Korean Academy of Adult Nursing" has been published since 1989 and more than 330 articles have been published up 2000. We reviewed all the articles published in this journal to analyze the contents and trend of published articles and to find out the way of improvement both in quantity and quality of studies in this area. The results are as follows : 1) Ninety percent of articles were quantitative studies. Experimental design was used in 16.1% and quasi-experimental design was adapted in 73.6% of articles. Qualitative research were 10.3% of total articles reviewed. 2) Only 5.1% of articles described theoretical framework and 73.6% of experimentally designed articles included research hypotheses. 3) Among experimental studies, only one was true experimental studie design. Eighty nine point three persent had descriptive survey method among non-experimental studies. Amog the thirty four qualitative studies, phenomenologic(73.5%), grounded theory(14.7%), and ethnographic (11.8%) design were used. 4) Most of research subject were patients and few healthy people, healthcare worker, and patient family. 5) Psychosocial data collection method which used questionnaire were 53.7% and interview. physical measurement, observation were used in 22.8%. 8.2% 5.4% of articles respectively. 6) Total number of keywords were 692, and average number of key words per article was 2.2. Health-related keyword was the most frequently used according to four metaparadigm of nursing (human, health, nursing, and environment). Environment related keyword was rarely appeared. The number and quality of nursing research in "Journal of Korean Academy of Adult Nursing" have been improved continuously. It is difficult to find out special trend or characteristics which is unique in this journal because of relatively short history of adult nursing studies. This review study was performed to analyze adult nursing studies only in the view of quantitative aspect, but it is needed to analyse qualitatively to find philosophical or theoretical trend in nursing.

To investigate the effects of ethanol on the lipid metabolism in blood and liver, twenty one male Sprague Dawley rats had orally taken the 25% alcohol and 50% alcohol by 5g per Kg of weight during 3 weeks after the adjusting period. For the energy balance, 85% sucrose and 45% sucrose was added in control group and 25% alcohol group each. The weight was reduced by alcohol treatment according to the levels, otherwise the weight of liver and heart was little increased in alcohol groups rather than in control without significance. Moreover, RBC, WBC, hemoglobin and hematocrit were increased by alcohol treatment according to the levels without significance. Otherwise, adjusted bilirubin levels by 100g of weight was significantly increased by alcohol treatment dose dependently. Alcohol induced RBC degradation and increased circulated bilirubin because of liver damage. For blood lipid profiles, blood cholesterol was increased in 50% of alcohol group compared to that of 25% and control groups, otherwise, blood triglycerides (TG) was increased by 30% in 25% alcohol groups rather than in control but not significantly different. The hepatic lipid composition, cholesterol levels in alcohol treatment groups was lower than those in control. The hepatic TG was not influenced by alcohol treatment. The two reasons of decreasing hepatic lipids were suggested by 85% sucrose of control for energy balance more synthesized cholesterol and TG than those in 25 or 50% alcohol groups, and by cholesterol and TG could not be synthesized because of liver damage from alcohol.

An increasing frequency of methicillin resistant S. aureus(MRSA), methicillin resistant coagulase negative staphylococci(MRCNS) and Enterococcal infection have been observed in recent years. Teicoplanin is a new glycopeptide antibiotic obstained from the Actinoplanes teicomycetius. The molecular structure and spectrum of antimicrobial activity of teicoplanin is simillar to those of vancomycin, and has been reported to have an excellent in vitro and in vivo effect against various gram-positive infections. Therefore, we evaluated the in vitor susceptibility of gram positive cocci, such as, S. aureus, coagulase negative Staphylococci(CNS), and Enterococci to teicoplanin and vancomycin. The total 253 strains consisted of MSSA(40), MRSA(53), MSCNS(47), MRCNS(48), and Enterococci(65). They were assayed by disc diffusion and agar dilution. During the study, 57% of S. aureus and 49% of CNS showed resistance to methicillin. The inhibitory diameter of teicoplanin was 15-20mm in MSSA, 12-19mm in MRSA, 13-24mm in MSCNS, 11-23mm in MRCNS, and 15-22mm in Enterococci respectively, and showed sensitivity in all but 8 strains(3.2%). The range of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of teicoplanin to MSSA, MRSA, MSCNS, MRCNS and Enterococci were 9.12-2.0㎍/ml, 0.25-2.0㎍/ml, & 0.25-32㎍/ml, 0.12-1.0㎍/ml respectively. One case of S. haemolyticus was resistant to teicoplanin (32㎍/ml) by the agar dilution method. Eight minor (3.2%) and one major(0.4%) error was observed when the MIC and disk diffusion data were correlated with teicoplanin. As for vancomycin the inhibitory diameter was 17-21mm in MSSA, 15-21mm in MRSA, 18-26mm in MSCNS, 18-25mm in MRCNS, and 16-22mm in Enterococci respectively. The range of the MIC of vancomycin to MSSA, MRSA, MSCNS, MRCNS, and Enterococci were 0.25-1.0㎍/ml, 0.25-4.0㎍/ml, 0.5-2.0㎍/ml and 0.5-2.0㎍/ml respectively. One minor error (0.4%) was seen with the vancomycin disk. The MIC90 of MSSA and MRSA exhibited the same results in teicoplanin (1.0㎍/ml, 1.0㎍/ml), and vancomycin(2.0㎍/ml, 2.0㎍/ml). MSCNS and MRCNS exhibited greater MIC90 with teicoplanin(4.0㎍/ml, 8.0㎍/ml) than vancomycin(2.0㎍/ml, 2.0㎍/ml). Incontrase Enterococci were more susceptible to teicoplanin(0.5㎍/ml) than to vancomucin (2.0㎍/ml). Results from this analysis indicated that both teicoplanin and vancomycin were very excellent for gram positive infections, especially those resistant to methicillin.

박재우,김도관,고선규,고효정,김성환,김재경,서민영,이인수,김지혜 大韓神經精神醫學會 2002 신경정신의학 Vol.41 No.3

연구목적 : 이 연구에서는 K-MMSE에서 25점 이하를 받은 50대 이상 노인들을 MCI(Mild Cognitive Impairment) 군으로 보고 이들의 인지 기능 특성을 점화 효과를 중심으로 살펴보고자 하였다. 먼저, 점화 효과가 MCI 노인군에서 있어서도 유지되고 있는지를 알아보고, 인지 기능의 손상 정도에 따라 점화 효과가 유의미하게 변화하는 지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 본 연구에서는 K-NAME 점수 25점 이하의 노인 96명으 대상으로 ADAS-Cog와 일종의 간접 기억 검사 도구인 지각적 파악 과제를 제작하여 점화 효과를 측정하여 인지 기능의 퇴행이 시작된 고연령군이 나타내는 암묵 기억 능력 특성을 알아보았다. 점화효과는 컴퓨터 상에 사전 노출된 자극과 그렇지 않은 자극을 순간 노출시켜 미리 노출된 자극에 대해 반응 시간이 줄어들고 정확 반응이 증가하는 정도로써 측정하였다. 이 때 지능이나 연령, 학력 수준과 같은 변인이 미치는 영향을 통제하기 위해 한국판 웩슬러 지능 검사의 <어휘>, <토막> 소검사를 실시하였고, 인구통계학적 변인에 관한 면접을 실시하였다. 통계적 분석 과정에서는 먼저, 연구에서 측정된 점화효과의 특성을 알아보기 점화 효과 측정치의 기술 통계치를 구하였으며 다른 측정 변인들과의 상관 분석을 실시하였다. 마지막으로 측정된 점화효과가 인지 기능의 퇴행 수준에 비례하는 지의 여부를 파악하기 위해 ADAS-Cog 및 나이, 교육 연한 및 지능 수준을 독립변인으로 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 결 과 : 먼저 기술 통계 분석 결과에 의하면 본 연구에 참여한 피보험자들의 경우 점화효과에 의해 미리 노출된 자극을 평균 3.6개 더 정확히 파악하였으며 평균 59ms 더 빠르게 반응한 것으로 나타나 이들 집단에서도 점화효과가 유지되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 다음으로 변인들 간의 상관 분석 결과에 따르면, 정확 파악 반응 점수에 따른 점화효과는 전반적인 인지 기능을 평가하는 K-MMSE 및 ADAS-Cog와 정적인 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났으며 반응 속도로 측정한 점화효과의 경우에는 나이와는 정적인 상관이, KWIS의 <어휘> 소검사 점수와는 부적인 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 본 연구에서 사용된 점화 효과 측정치를 종속 변인으로 ADAS-Cog와 KWIS의 어휘 및 코막 소검사로 측정한 지능 수준, 나이와 교육 연한과 같은 인구 통계학적 변인을 독립 변인으로 회귀 분석을 실시한 결과에 따르면 정화간응 점수로 측정한 점화 효과의 경우 상관 분석 결과에서와 같이 ADAS-Cog 변인만이 유의미한 효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며 반응 속도로 측정한 점화 효과의 경우 나이의 효과만 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 결 론 : 이러한 결과는 경미한 인지 기능의 손상이 진행되고 있는 고연령군의 경우에는 외현 기억 능력은 손상이 시작되지만 점화효과로 측정된 암묵 기억이 전반적으로는 유지되다가 인지 기능의 퇴행이 진행됨에 따라 노출된 자극을 더 정확히 파악하는 능력이 저하되고 점화 효과에 의해 인출 속도가 빨라지는 현상이 연령이 증가함에 따라 함께 증가하는 것으로 나타남을 말해 준다. Objectives : In this study, the cognitive characteristics, especially priming effect, of above 50 years old age group who had less than 25 points in K-MMSE were investigated. Methods : In this study, an implicit memory test measuring priming effect was made and administered ti old age people who had less than 25 points in k-MMSe in screening session. To control the effect of age, educational level and intelligence, demograohic variables were measured, and the subjects of KWIS, vocabulary and block design were administered. Descriptive statistical analysis of the two priming measures and correlational analysis between variables were done. To test the effect of cognitive functioning on priming effect multiple regression analysis was done. Results : Correlational analysis revealed priming score obtained from correct identification response was positively correlated with K-MMSE and ADAS-Cog. And priming score obtained from mean reaction time was positively correlated with age and negatively correlated with vocabulary substest of KWIS. The regression analysis results indicated from correct identification response, whereas age has significant effect on priming score obtained from mean reaction time. Conclusions : The results revealed that as cognitive deterioration progresses priming effect which identify primed stimulus correctly diminish, and as one grow older within age 50 to 70, priming effect which identifies primed stimulus quickly increase.

Korean English Teacher's Disempowerment in English-only Classes

Sung-Sam Hwang,Hyo-Sun Seo,Tae-Young Kim 한국사회언어학회 2010 사회언어학 Vol.18 No.1

Hwang, Sung-Sam, SeD, Hyo-Sun, Kim, Tae-Young. 2010. Korean English Teacher's Disempowerment in English-only Classes: A Case Study Focusing on Korea-specific Cultural Aspects. The Sociolinguistic journal of Korea 18(1). In this case study, we have focused on the disempowerment of a Korean English teacher (KET) in English-only classrooms. Six English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms in a Korean high school were observed and analyzed by using interpretive discourse analysis. Out of the six classes, three representative classrooms were both video- and audio-taped. The results show that the English-only classes could weaken the KETs' power via three mechanisms: (a) calling the KETs' last name for choral greetings at the beginning of the class, (b) students' group solidarity and peer pressure between classmates, and (c) the students' excessively collaborative approach to peer assistance. It is argued that the exclusive English-only instruction disempowers the KETs' status and dismantles their vocational identity. In order to remedy the current situation, within a scaffolding supported by the eclectic use of first language where necessary for effective class management, KETs are empowered and overcome constraints imposed by the limited L2 oral competence of some non-native English teachers.

미래 사회를 대비하기 위한 개인의 개성을 존중과 창의적인 능력을 지닌 인간을 양성을 목적으로 충청남도 지역의 초 ㆍ 중고등학생들을 대상으로 한 창의력 경연대회가 공주대학교 과학교육연구소에서 개최되었다. 충청남도 초 ㆍ중 ㆍ 고등학생들을 대상으로 실시한 창의력 경연대회는 창조적 아이디어를 내어 스스로 문제를 해결해 나갈 수 있는 교육 프로그램을 제공하는 좋은 기회였음이 확인되었으나, 일부의 팀에서만 참신하고 재미있는 아이디어들이 제안되었다. 여학생의 참가자 수가 상당히 증가하였으며, 대체적으로 입상권의 학생들의 상당 부분이 여학생이라는 것이 특이할만하다. 학년이 올라감에 따라서 창의적인 아이디어를 내는 양이나 질에 있어서 뒤떨어지는 것으로 분석되었으며, 토론 학습의 적응력이 미흡하고 발표력 및 청취력에 있어서도 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 중 ㆍ고등학교의 학교교육에서도 학생들에게 프로젝트형 탐구학습 프로그램의 적용은 물론 토론식 수습을 통한 학생들의 사고의 전환의 기회를 제공해야 할 것으로 사료된다. The creativity competition was held to foster the creativity of elementary and secondary school students in the Institute of Science Education, Kongju national University. It was found that the creativity competition effected on the improvement of inventing creative ideas and problem solving activities. But, only some competitors participated in semifinal and final contests, presented original and interesting ideas. More female students participated in competition than last year. More female participants were awarded a prize than males. Totally, participants were defective in discussion and communication, and presentation and listening ideas. Increasing grades correlated inversely with creativity and originality. There is need of inquiry project teaming programs and presenting opportunities of conversion of thinking by discussing instructions in school
