Kim, Sung Sik Research Institute of Science and Technology HONGI 2005 Hongik Journal of Science and Technology Vol.9 No.-

A thermodynamic modeling of phase diagram in the binary Al-In system was described using the Gibbs free energies of the phases. The subregular solution model was applied to describe the liquid phase in the present system. Using the experimental miscibility gap data in the literature, the interaction parameters in the excess Gibbs free energy expression of liquid phase were obtained as A^(0) = 39.8874 - 0.0192T and A^(1)= 2.5464 + 0.0008T (kJ/mol). With these parameters, the miscibility gap was regenerated. The present result was compared and discussed with other experimental and assessed data available in the literature.

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.

본 연구는 병리조직학적 및 전자현미경적 방법을 통해 양식산 turbot에서 발생하는 irido-like virus의 감염증을 소개하고자 한 것이다. 2003년 6월 전북 고창 소재 육상수조에서 양식중인 turbot치어에서 50∼70%의 대량폐사가 발생하였다. 병어는 사료섭취가 저하되고 힘없이 유영하다 폐사되었으며, 죽기 직전의 어류는 복부가 팽만되고 안구가 돌출되며 체색이 옅어지는 증상을 보였다. 해부학적 조사 결과, 아가미 빈혈과 간이 퇴색되어 있었으며, 특히 비장조직이 심하게 비대되어 있었다. 병어에 대한 조직학적 검사에서 비대 세포를 특징으로 하는 특이 병변이 주로 신장과 비장의 조혈조직에서 관찰되었으며, 아가미, 심장, 위, 장, 간, 췌장, 지방 조직에서도 관찰되었다. 그리고 전자현미경적 관찰 결과, 비대 세포의 세포질내에서 육각형의 지름이 136∼159 ㎚인 Irido-like virus를 관찰할 수 있었다. The high mortality of cultured juvenile turbot, Scophthalmus maximus occurred in Gochang on June, 2003. The diseased fish was lethargic with reduced feed intake. Grossly, these fish showed pale body, abdominal extension and exophthalmia. The dominant internal gross features of diseased fish were severely enlarged spleen, pale gills and or liver. Diseased fish histologically showed basophilic enlarged cells in the kidney, spleen, gill, heart, stomach, intestine, liver, pancreas and adipose tissue. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveled hexagonal virions in the cytoplasm of necrotic cells. The viral particles lead a central electron-dense core and an electron translucent zone, and were 136-159 nm in diameter. These results suggest that the virus belonging to the iridoviridae was responsible for the mortality of cultured juvenile turbot.

Background : Gastric cancer is the most common malignant tumor in Korea. surgical operation is one of the major treatment modalities for gastric cancer patients. Therefore, gastrectomy is one of the most common procedures in General Surgery. There were variation in length of hospital stay and medical treatment for gastrectomy between three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. Clinical pathways have received considerable attention as a tool for recucing the medical practice variation, increasing the efficiency of care process, and improving the quality of care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a clinical pathway for gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients. Methods : The clinical pathway for gastrectomy was developed and implemented by a multidisciplinary group in Asan Medical Center. A computerized clinical pathway program was developed and revised after a pilot test. A total of 145 patients underwent gastrectomy by three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. We compared the length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction, and unplanned readmission rate between the pre-pathway group(n=67) and the post-pathway group(n=78). We also investigated the degree of satisfaction among the physicians and nurses who were main end-users of the clinical pathway. Results : The clinical pathway was applied to all target patients. The average length of hospital stay was shortened from 12.7days to 10.6days(p<0.01). The degree of patient satisfaction with the care process changed from 90.3% to 89.2% after the implementation of the clinical pathway, but the difference was of satistically significant(p=0.761). Unplanned readmission rate was 2.9% in the pre-pathway group. More than 90% of physicians and nurses answered that the clinical pathway had been a useful tool in their medical practice. Conclusions : The findings of the study demonstrated that implementation of the clinical pathway for gastrectomy produced substantial reduction in the length of hospital stay while improving the quality of patient outcomes. The computerized clinical pathway program can be used as one of the powerful patient management tools for reducing the practice variations and increasing the efficiency of care process in Korea hospital settings.

Background: We have doubt about the truth that Type 2 DM is associated with chronic hepatitis C infection. The aim of our study was to prove a close relationship between chronic HCV infection and type 2 DM in korean patients. Methods: We reviewed the out-patient's medical records of 466 patients with type 2 DM who visit the Sung-ae hospital from March 2000 to August 2001. Diabetic patients were analyzed for the following variables: age, sex, waist circumference, weight, waist/hip ratio, using of self monitoring of blood glucose, method of therapy, duration of disease, experience of previous transfusion, major surgical procedure, accompanied disease, liver function tests (LFT), HbA1 c. We ruled out patients with liver cirrhosis. Results: Hepatitis C virus infection was observed more frequently in patient with Type 2 DM. Of 466 Type 2 DM patients, 13 patients were infected with Hepatitis C virus (2.79%). Compared with mean prevalence of Korean population (1.3~1.6%), it's value is very high. the other hand, 21 patients were infected with Hepatitis B virus (4.5%). Such results are similar to mean prevalence of the general public (4~5%). Conclusions: Prevalence of hepatitis C was closely associated in korean patients with type 2 DM. And an increased prevalence is independent of cirrhosis.

TEOS 솔 침전공정에서 SiO2 과포화 농도 및 입자 크기에 미치는 반응조건 영향

김경수,김선근,김우식,김성수,김준경 한국화학공학회 2000 Korean Chemical Engineering Research(HWAHAK KONGHA Vol.38 No.6

본 연구에서는 솔 침전공정에서 TEOS(Tetraethylorthosilicate) 반응물을 이용하여 실리카 분말 합성시에 TEOS 농도, 물농도, 반응물 주입속도, 교반속도 등의 반응조건이 실리카 과포화 농도 및 입자크기에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. TEOS 반응물과 물 농도가 증가할수록 입자유도시간은 짧아졌으며 입자유도시점에서의 과포화 농도는 감소하였다. 그러나, 반응물 주입속도가 입자유도시간과 입자유도시점에서의 과포화 농도에 미치는 영향은 서로 상반되었다. 즉, 반응물 주입속도의 증가에 따라 입자유도시간은 감소하였으나 입자유도시점에서의 과포화 농도는 증가하였다. 반응조건에 따라 서로 다른 과포화 농도에서 입자가 유도되는 것은 입자의 형성에 있어서 과포화도 이외의 용액의 조건에도 영향을 준다는 것을 의미하는 것이다. 한편, 교반속도는 입자유도시간과 유도시점에서의 과포화 농도는 거의 영향을 주지 않았다. 이것은 솔 침전공정에서 반응물 혼합시간이 충분히 짧아 실리카 생성에 있어서 반응속도가 입자유도 및 과포화 농도 결정에 가장 크게 영향을 미쳤기 때문이다. 반응조건에 따른 가수분해 및 축합 반응속도를 Kim등[15]이 제시한 식을 이용하여 예측하였으며 이 결과는 본 실험에서 측정한 입자유도시간의 함수로도 매우 잘 묘사될 수 있었다. 또한, 반응조건에 따라 합성된 최종입자의 크기 변화도 입자유도시간의 함수로 훌륭히 묘사될 수 있음을 보여 주었다. In a single feed semi batch reactor effects of reaction conditions, such as TEOS and water concentrations, react feed flow rate and agitation speed, on the silica supersaturation and particle size synthesized in sol precipitation were investigated. As the TEOS and water concentrations increased, the particle induction time and the supersaturation at the particle induction point were reduced. However, the dependencies of the particle induction time and supersaturation at the particle induction point on the reactant flow rate were opposite to each other. That was, the particle induction tune decreased with increase in the reactant flow rate but the supersaturation at the particle induction point increased. The fact that the supersaturation level to induce the particle was varied with the reaction condition implied that the solution condition determined by the reaction condition as well as the supersaturation level was important to the particle induction. Meanwhile, the particle induction time and supersaturation at the particle induction point were little influenced by the agitation speed in the reactor. This result was due to the micromixing time being short enough in comparison to the reaction time of TEOS. Thus, the particle induction time and supersaturation at the particle induction point was predominantly determined by the reaction time rather than the micromixing time of TEOS. The reaction rate constants of TEOS hydroysis and condensation, which was predicted with Kim et al.'s equations [15] at the reaction conditions was described as a function of the particle induction time. In addition, the particle size synthesized at the reaction conditions was able to be well fitted as a function of the particle induction time.
