Gilbert 증후군은 인구의 7%에서까지 나타날 수 있는 매우 흔한 증후군으로서 비진행성인 양성의 만성적 경과를 치하며, 간질환의 증상과 징후가 없는 경한 비포합형 고빌리루빈혈증이 특징인 일종의 체질적인 증상으로서 혈장 빌리루빈 농도에 대한 사춘기의 영향 때문에 10대와 20대에 자주 진단이 된다. 따라서 임상적인 중요성은 미약하지만 높은 빈도가 예상되는 점에 그 중요성이 부여되어야 할 것이다. 따라서 적정한 임상적 진단법으로 기왕에 소개된 열량제한 시험과 phenobarbital 유도 시험을 시행하고 이들의 진단적 가치를 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 1990년 7월부터 1999년 4월까지 충남대학교병원에 내원하여 HBsAg, IgG anti-HBc 및 anti-HCV가 음성이고, 간 초음파 스캔에서 이상이 없으며, 혈청 AST, ALT 및 AP가 정상인 비음주자에서 경한 비포합형 고빌리루빈혈증이 있는 14예의 환자들을 대상으로 ^(99m)Tc-DISID 스캔을 시행하였으며, 기저 치 총빌리루빈 및 포합형 빌리루빈 치를 측정한 다음에 하루에 400Kcal로 48시간동안 제한한 열량 제한 시험을 시행하였고, phenobarbital을 하루 60mg씩 5일간 투여한 후에도 각각 총빌리루빈과 포합형 빌리루빈 치를 검사하여 비포합형을 구하였다. 대상 환자들은 모두 14예로서 남자가 11예(78.6%)였고 여자가 3예(21.4%)여서 3.7:1로 남자에서 많았으며, 20대가 6예(42.9%), 30대가 역시 6예(42.9%) 및 40대가 2예(14.2%)로서 2,30대가 대부분(85.8%)이었다. 열량 제한 시험 후의 총빌리루빈 치, 비포합형 및 포합형 빌리루빈 치들은 평균 각각 5.5±2.7, 4.2±2.3 및 1.3±10mg/dL 로서, 시험 전 치들인 3.0±0.8, 2.2±0.8 및 0.7±0.4mg/dL 보다 유의하게(p=0.001, p=0.001, p=0.023) 상승하였다. 포합형 빌리루빈 치도 유의하게 상승하였으나 비포합형의 상승보다는 훨씬 낮아서 주로 비포합형이 증가하였다. phenobarbital 투여 중 설사가 발생하여 중단한 1예를 제외한 13예에서 열량 제한 시험 후에 상승하였던 총, 비포합형 및 포합형 빌리루빈 치가 phenobarbital 유도 시험후에는 2.0±1.1, 1.5±0.8 및 0.5±0.4mg/dL로서 열량 제한 시험 결과보다 유의하게 낮아졌고(p=0.00, p=0.000, p=0.001), 열량 제한 시험 전의 기초치들인 3.0±0.8, 2.2±0.8 및 0.7±0.4mg.dL 보다도 더욱 낮아졌으며 유의한 차이(p=0.001, p=0.02, p=0.005)를 나타내었다. 14예에서 시행한 ^(99m)-Tc DISIDA 스캔에서 9예(64.3%)가 정상이었고, 5예(35.7%)에서는 심장 및 신장으로의 간외 섭취가 3예였고, 60분까지 소장 배출이 없는 배설 지연 예와 담낭 수축 불량 예가 각각 1예 씩 발견되었다. Phenobarbital 투여시험에서 민감도가 열량제한시험에 비해 더 높았다(92.3%와 50.0%). Gilbert 증후군에서 1일 400 Kcal로 48시간의 열량제한 시험과 1일 60mg의 phenobarbital을 5일간 투여하는 유도 시험은 편리하고 유용한 임상적인 진단법으로 이용할 수 있다고 생각된다. 그러나 열량 제한 시험에서는 증가 기준의 통일이 필요하다고 유추되며 phenobarbital 유도 시험이 민감도가 더 높은 것으로 생각된다. Gilbert's syndrome is very frequent and benign chronic process characterized by mild, intermittent, unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia without any symptom and sign of liver disease. Previously intoduced caloric restriction test and phenobarbital stimulation test as two appropriate clinical tests had been examined and their diagnostic values were reevaluated. Fourteen patients with mild, persistent, unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia were included. Subsequently caloric restriction has been applicated by 400 Kcal/day for 48 hours and phenobarbital has been prescribed by 60 mg/day for 5 days. Therafter serum levels of total and direct bilirubin were measured. Most of the patients were third and fourth decade(85.8%) and male predominant. Each basal serum levels of total, indirect and direct bilirubin were 3.0±0.8, 2.2±0.8 and 0.7±0.4 mg/dL. After caloric restriction test, each levels were increased significantly to 5.5±2.7, 4.2±2.3 and 1.3±1.0 mg/dL(p=0.001, p=0.001, p=0.023). After phenobarbital stimulation test for 13 patients had been practiced, increased levels of each bilirubin after caloric restriction test were decreased significantly to 2.0±1.0, 1.5±0.8 and 0.5±0.4 mg/dL(p=0.000, p=0.000, p=0.001) and these levels were significantly lower than basal levels(p=0.001, p=0.02, p=0.005). The sensitivities of caloric restriction test were 85.7%, 50.0%, and 71.4%, 35.7%(1.0, 1.5 mg increase of total bilirubin and 1.0, 1.5 mg/dL increase of indirect bilirubin). The sensitivities of phenobarbital stimulation test were 93.2% and 92.3% at criteria of 1.5 mg/dL increase of total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin. On the diagnosis of Gilbert syndrome, caloric restriction test and phenobarbital stimulation test are convenient and useful diagnostic tools in clinical face. And also phenobarbital stimulation test has higher sensitivity than caloric restriction test. Furthermore, standardization of bilirubin increment would be necessary in caloric restriction test.

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm that arises from the mesothelium of a serosal cavity and is a rapidly fatal disease with a median survival of 4 to 12 months for untreated cases. Recently, we experienced a case with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma who was suspected hepatocelluar carcioma by abdominal CT scan and was confirmed by biopsy including immunohistochemical stain(calretinin) after surgery. We performed tumor excisions and wedge resection of the liver(segment Ⅷ)and inserted Tencoff catheter in abdominal cavity at 25th day of post-operation. We treated with intraperitoneal paclitaxel(25mg/m^(2)/day for 5 days) six courses monthly. She was well tolerable and is still living without any evidence of recurrence for 14th month of post-operation.

이희종,송석일,이석희,유재수,조기형 충북대학교 컴퓨터 정보통신 연구소 1999 컴퓨터정보통신연구 Vol.7 No.2

최근 이미지 데이터에 대한 요구가 폭발적으로 증가됨에 따라 대용량 이미지 데이터에 대한 저장과 검색에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 이미지 데이터는 기존의 텍스트 데이터에 비해 대용량이라는 특성과 비정형인 특성을 가지고 있어 신속하고 효율적인 검색에 많은 어려움이 있다. 이 논문에서는 기존에 이미지 검색을 위해 제안된 인덱스 구조중 고차원 특성을 효율적으로 수용하고 저장공간의 이용률과 검색성능이 뛰어난 CIR-트리를 국내에서 개발된 상용 데이터베이스 시스템인 바다의 하부 저장 시스템인 MiDAS-Ⅲ 기반에서 구현한다. CIR-트리 관리기를 갖는 MiDAS-Ⅲ에서 k-NN질의 및 범위 질의가 처리될 때 순차검색에 비해 약 60∼99% 정도의 검색성능이 향상되었다. Recently, since the increase in number of image data, the image retrieval system has been researched actively. However, it is hard to retrieve image from the large amount of image data efficiently because image data has unfixed data type and usually is has a large scale. In this paper, we implement the CIR-Tree which is an efficient index structure for image data on MiDAS-Ⅲ, which is the storage management system for the multimedia database management system, called BADA. The implemented CIR-Tree on MiDAS-Ⅲ outperforms the sequential scan about 60∼99%.

Background: The outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection after liver transplantation (LT) was improved by hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) and nucles(t)ide analogue (NUA). However, HBV recurrence after LT is critical because the recurrence is occasionally accompanied by a progressive destruction of graft and poor survival. The aims of this study were to investigate the significance HBV recurrence and identity factors associated with HBV recurrence. Methods: From October 1999 to February 2011, a total of 2684 consecutive LT recipients who underwent HBV-associated LT were retrospectively enrolled from 7 transplantation centers in Korea. Results: Prophylaxis regimens were HBIG monotherapy (67.7%) or a combination of HBIG with NUA (22.3%). The recurrence rate of HBV was 6.1% (164 recipients) during mean follow-up duration of 10.9 years. The median time from transplantation to recurrence was 2.1 years (0.1-7.9 years). Of the 1,071 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prior to LT, 155 patients (14.5%) had HCC recurrence after transplantation, and 48 patients (31.0%) had HBV recurrence. Of the 48 patients with recurrence of both HBV and HCC, 25 patients (52.1%) experienced HBV recurrence after HCC recurrence. In the multivariate analysis, pretransplant HCC, pretransplant HBV DNA above 5.5 log copies/mL was independent clinical factors influencing HBV recurrence after LT. The mortality rate among the recipients with HBV recurrence was 34.1% (56 recipients). Mean overall survival was 6.4 years in the HBV-recurrence group and 9.9 years in the HBV-nonrecurrence group (p<0.001). HBV recurrence was not an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. HCC recurrence was the most important factor for overall survival. Conclusions: The overall outcome of LT in HBV-related liver disease was excellent with the current prophylaxis regimen Choon Hyuck David Kwon,8 Suk-Koo Lee8 Pretransplant HBV DNA and HCC were important factors for HBV recurrence. HBV recurrence after LT did not significantly influence on the overall survival without combining of HCC recurrence.

Object: To compare pregnancy outcome between term pregnancy and postterm pregnancy. Method: A clinical observation has been made on 60 cases of postterm pregnancies out of 64 cases delivered at the Dept. of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Soonchunhyang University from January 1, 1997 to May 31, 2002. 100 cases of full term deliveries of 37 to 42 gestational weeks conducted in same period were used as the control group for this study. We analyzed their cesarean section rate, fetal weight, placental weight, meconium stain, perinatal morbidity. The statistical significance was defined as P<0.05. Result: The following results were obtained 1. The incidence of postterm pregnancy was 1.34%. 2. The cesarean delivery rate in postterm group(51.7%) was significantly higher than control group(26%). 3. The incidence of large fetus (weight over 4,000gm) in the postterm group(21.7%) was higher than control group(2%). 4. The weight of placenta was 757g and 706g in the postterm group and control group respectively. 5. 1, 5 minute Apgar score lower in the postterm group than control group. Conclusion : To decrease perinatal morbidity and cesarean rate at 42 or more weeks gestation, appropriate labor induction and twice weekly biophysical profile and USF(AI, Doppler) may be indicated.

The Relationship of Perceived Cognitive and Decisional Controls in Information Disclosure: Decomposition of Perceived Control

Hee Seok “Andy” Lee,Carolyn U. Lambert,Rob Law 한국관광학회 2011 International Journal of Tourism Sciences Vol.11 No.1

Customer information is critical for hospitality and tourism companies to provide tailored service, but customers may be reluctant to disclose their personal information to the companies. Existing research finds that perceived control is positively related to willingness to disclose, but scant research studies scrutinize its sub-concepts and their relationship with information disclosure. This study decomposed perceived control with perceived cognitive and decisional control and examined their effect on willingness to disclose personal information. The results indicated that when a privacy mechanism was available, perceived cognitive control was more influential to customers’ willingness to disclose than perceived decisional control was. Findings suggest that hospitality and tourism companies that want to collect more customer data need to manipulate customers’ perceived control accordingly regardless of availability of privacy protection mechanisms. Since there have been very limited, if any, prior studies examining perceived control with decomposed cognitive and decisional controls, the model verified in this study serves as a guide for future research.

이희복,육근철,류해일,김현섭,김희수,박달원,유병환,김선효,김여상,서광수,변두원,서명석,배성효,박종석,심규철,이성희 공주대학교 과학교육연구소 2001 과학교육연구 Vol.32 No.1

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

공매도의 수익률예측성과 미래이익반응계수에 관한 연구

이용석(Lee, Yong-Seok),박희진(Park, Hee-Jin),김범준(Kim, Bum-Joon) 한국국제회계학회 2018 국제회계연구 Vol.0 No.78

본 연구의 목적은 기업별 공매도 체결내역을 기초로 공매도 거래와 회계정보의 유용성 간의 관련성을 분석하는 것이다. 일반적인 주식투자에 비해 공매도는 상대적으로 위험이 큰 투자안이므로 공매도 투자자는 위험을 회피하기 위하여 보다 적극적으로 회계정보를 활용할 가능성이 높다. 이에 본 연구에서는 공매도 투자자가 공매도 거래시 기업의 영업성과와 관련된 회계정보를 어떻게 활용하는지를 살펴보았으며, 추가적으로 FERC 모형을 이용하여 거래비중이 높은 기업에서 당기 주식수익률이 미래이익을 보다 정확하게 반영하고 있는지를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 투자자가 공매도 거래시 기업의 영업성과와 관련된 회계정보를 이용하여 추가적인 양(+)의 초과수익을 달성할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 이를 통해 공매도 투자시 회계정보를 활용할 충분한 유인이 존재함을 보였다. 아울러 공매도 거래비중이 높은 기업에서 당기주식수익율과 미래이익간의 양(+)의 관련성이 더 높은 것으로 나타나, 공매도 거래비중이 높은 기업일수록 당기수익율이 보다 정확하게 미래이익을 반영하고 있다는 점을 실증적으로 제시하였다. 공매도는 전문적 투자자가 투자대상기업의 내재가치 변경을 예상할 때 발생한다는 선행연구의 결과와 유사하게 본 연구는 공매도 투자시 투자기업의 회계정보가 투자의사 결정의 유용한 정보가 될 수 있음을 보였으며, 공매도 투자자가 기업의 미래수익률을 보다 정확하게 예측한다는 Drake et al.(2011)의 연구결과가 국내 주식시장에서도 일관되게 나타난다는 점을 확인하였다. 공매도 거래비중이 높은 기업일수록 기업의 미래이익반응계수가 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났는데 이는 공매도 투자자들이 자본시장에서 회계정보를 잘 이용하게 할 수 있는 정보 촉매제 역할을 하고 있음을 시사하는 것으로 Pownall and Simko(2005)의 주장과도 일치되며, 직접적인 공매도거래가 아닌 대차잔고를 이용하여 연구를 실시한 Drake et. al.(2015)의 연구결과와도 유사한 결과이다. 본 연구는 자본시장에서 공매도 투자자가 정보중개인의 역할을 수행하고 있다는 점을 밝혔으며, 아직까지 공매도에 대한 인식에 차이가 존재하는 금융당국 · 투자자 및 기업들에게 공매도에 대한 유용한 새로운 시각을 제공한다. The purpose of our study is to analyze the relationship between the short sale transaction and the usefulness of accounting information based on the short sales transaction data. Since short selling is relatively high risk compared to stock trading, short selling investors are more likely to actively use accounting information to avoid risk. In this study, we investigate whether short selling investors use accounting information related to the company"s performance when doing short selling. In addition, we use the FERC model to analyze whether the current profitability is more accurately reflect future profit. According to the result of our analysis, investors can obtain additional positive earnings by using the accounting information related to the performance of the company during the short sale. Therefore, we find that there is sufficient incentive to utilize the accounting information in the short sale investment. In addition, the relationship between the future profit and the stock return is higher in companies with a high volume of short selling, suggesting that firms with higher volume of short selling would likely to reflect future earnings more accurately in the current stock return. Based on the prior research that short selling can be occurred when a professional investor expects to change the intrinsic value of firm, this study shows that the accounting information can be useful for investment decision. In addition, we also find that short-selling investors, who can be regarded as professional investors, predict the firm’s future returns more accurately, confirming that the empirical results of Drake et al. (2011) consistently apply in Korea stock market. Our results are consistent with the finding of Pownall and Simko (2005), which shows that firms with high short-sale volume have relatively high future earning-response coefficients, suggesting that short-selling investors have a role as information catalysts. We find that short selling investors play the role of information intermediaries in the capital market and provide a new insight on short selling to financial authorities and investors who still have differences perspectives in short selling transaction.

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.
