UV-TiO_(2) 반응기를 이용하여 Escherichia coli와 Aspergillus oryzae var. oryzae의 살균효과를 측정하였다. 254 ㎚에서 최대 14 watt의 자외선 방출량을 내는 램프를 원형 Pyrex유리관 중앙에 설치하였고 TiO_(2)는 석영관에 박막증착(Thin Film Coating)된 형태와 슬러리 형태로 나누어 회분식으로 살균정도를 측정하였다. E. coli에 대한 살균력은 1.7× 10^(7) cells/㎖에 대해 5분간 자외선 조사를 하였을 경우 2.0× 10^(2) cells/㎖으로 감소하였고, 자외선 조사와 함께 슬러리 형태의 TiO_(2)를 첨가하였을 경우에는 3.4× 10 cells/㎖으로, 자외선 조사와 함께 TiO_(2)가 석영관에 박막증착된 경우에는 7.6× 10^(2) cells/㎖으로 감소하였다. 한편 위와 같은 조건에 유리관 하부에서 기포를 주입후 11분 동안 자외선을 조사시킨 경우에는 1.3× 10^(2) cells/㎖으로, 자외선 조사와 함께 슬러리 형태의 TiO_(2)를 첨가하였을 경우에는 1× 100 cells/㎖으로, 자외선 조사와 함께 TiO_(2)가 박막증착된 경우에는 7.9× 10 cells/㎖을 나타내었다. 결국 UV-TiO_(2) 반응기에 사용되는 TiO_(2)가 슬러리 형태일 때 최대 살균효과를 나타내었으나 기포가 첨가되었을때는 오히려 살균에 장애를 받는 것으로 나타난 반면 석영관에 박막증착된 경우에는 기포가 첨가되는 것이 살균에 효과적인 것으로 관찰되었다. The killing effect of UV-TiO_(2) photocatalytic system on the Escherichia coli DH5-慣 and Aspergillus oryzae var. oryzae (KCTC 6095) was studied. The UV lamp which emits maximum 14 watts at 254 nm was set on the center of pyrex round glass tube. Two types of TiO_(2), one of which is slurry and another which is thin film coated form, were used to determine the killing effect. When UV was irradiated to 1.7 * 10^(5) cells/??of E. coli for 11 min, the living cell number decreased to 4.0 * 1.0^(0) cells/?? The effect of UV system together with slurried TiO_(2) was less than 1 cells/?? whereas that of UV-coated TiO_(2) system decreased to 7.1 * 10^(3) cells/?? To study the effect of bubble on the killing of microorganisms, air was bubbled to the bottom of glass tube. When 1.7 * 10^(5) cells/??were exposed to UV for 11 min in combination with air bubble, the living cell number decreased to 1.3 x 10^(2) cells/?? In the same condition except the addition of slurried TiO_(2), the living cells were 1 * 10^(2) cells/?? However, more cells could be killed by the system which consists of UV, coated TiO_(2), and air bubble (7.9 * 10^(1) cells/??. From these results, it was found that UV-slurried system is the most effective one, but its killing effect is not stimulated by air bubble. However, bubbling was very effective in the UV-coated TiO_(2) system.

최근 무선 인터넷 및 통신기술의 눈부신 발달과 LBS(location based service)개념을 기반으로 한 mobile GIS 기술 개발은 대규모 산불 발생시 정확한 현장 파악과 신속한 상황보고 뿐만 아니라 사고 예방과 분석·평가에 이르기까지 의사결정지원시스템으로 자리를 잡고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지상진화대의 정확한 위치와 이동상황을 실시간으로 파악하여 안전한 진화작업 유도 및 산불진화 환경정보를 제공을 목적으로 mobile GIS 기술 기반의 산불진화정보 관리시스템을 설계하고 네트워크 부하감소를 위하여 '.gci'라는 공간 데이터 압축기법을 개발하여 면, 선, 주기 데이터에 대하여 51~62%의 높은 압축률을 구현하였다. 따라서 대규모 산불 발생시 일어날 수 있는 안전사고를 미연에 방지하고 사고 발생시 신속한 후속조치로 안전하고 과학적인 산불진화 업무를 수행할 수 있도록 하였다. Recently GPS and mobile GIS technologies based on LBS (location based service) have played an important role as DSS (decision supporting system) for domestic forest fire extinguishment policies. In this study forest fire extinguishments information management system based on mobile GIS technique was designed to seize the exact location on wireless network so that it helps to guide the safe and efficient extinguishments affairs and provide the extinguishments environment toward ground fighting teams and the central forest government in real time. Moreover, possibly to operate this system, the foundation technologies by the name of `. gci such as the spatial data compression method, the spatial data transmission method over wireless network and the spatial analysis interface on PDA should be mainly considered. Especially, in this study the spatial data compression method having high compression rate from 51% to 62% for each polygon, line, and point data, without the loss of data was developed.

연구목적: 이 다기관 공동임상연구는 사용 중인 항정신병약물을 ’직접 교체 방법’또는 ’시작-감량 교체 방법’중 한 가지 방법으로 올란자핀으로 교체한 후, 안정성 측면에서 두 교체 방법 간의 비교와 교체후의 변화를 관찰하기 위한 것이다. 방법: 국내 13개 병원의 입원 및 외래에 내원한 환자들 중 ICD-10 지단기준으로 정신분열병에 해당되며, 임상적으로 항정신병약물 교체가 필요한 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 두 가지 교체 방법 중 한 가지를 무작위로 피험자에 적용하였으며, ’직접 교체 방법’에 배정된 경우에는 사용중인 항정신병약물을 일시에 중단하고 10㎎의 올란자핀을 바로 투여하였고, ’시작-감량 교체 방법’에 배정된 경우는 10㎎의 올란자핀 투여하고 2주에 걸쳐서 기존 약물을 감량하여 중단하였다. 올란자핀 사용기간은 총 6주이며, 용량은 5∼20㎎ 범위로 제한하였다. 한정성 평가를 위해서 체중, 생명징후, 자발적인 이상반응 복, 실험실 검사 그리고 Simpson-Angus Scale(SAS), Barnes akathisia rating scale(BARS), Abnormal involuntary movement scale(AIMS). Liverpool University neuroleptic side effect rating scale(LUNSERS)등을 이용하였다. 결과: 총 103명의 정신분열병 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 사용한 올란자핀의 용량, 벤조디아제핀의 병용률, 탈락률과 탈락 사유, 자발적인 이상반응 보고, 생명징후, 실험실 검사 그리고 대부분의 부작용 척도 상에서 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이를 두 교체 방법간에 발견하지 못하였다. 다만 AIMS의 감소는 ’직접 교체 방법’군에서 보다 적었고, 항콜린제의 병용률은 ’시작-감량 교체 방법’군에서 보다 많았다. 기저 상태에서 전체 피험자의 SAS와 BARS 점수는 각각 3.5점과 1.8점이었으며 70% 이상의 피험자가 고프로락틴 혈증을 보였다. 올란자핀으로 교체한 후, SAS, BARS, AIMS 점수의 유의한 감소가 있었으며 고프로락틴 혈증을 보인 피험자 분율도 약 30%이하로 감소하였다. 그러나 교체 방법과 상관없이 올란자핀 교체 후 유의한 체중 증가가 있었다. 결론: 이 연구를 통해 교체 방법에 관계없이 비교적 안전하고 용이하게 올란자핀으로 교체 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 기존 항정신병약물을 올란자핀으로 교체함으로써 일부 부작용들을 줄일 수 있음을 간접적으로 관찰할 수 있었다. 하지만 이 연구는 여러 제한점과 문제점을 지니고 있기 때문에 보다 체계적인 연구를 통해 검정이 필요하리라 생각된다. Objectives: This multicenter clinical trial involving 13 hospital sites compared the safely of switching to olanzapine between ’direct switching method’ and ’start-tapering switching method’. Method: This study included both inpatients and outpatients who fulfilled the criteria for schizophrenia as defined in the ICD-10, and were in need to be appropriate for switching antipsychotics. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the two switching methods. For ’direct switching method’group, previous antipsychotics were abruptly discontinued and 10㎎ of olanzapine was administered, and previous antipsychotics was gradually tapered for 2 weeks. Olanzapine was used for 6 weeks and the dose was adjusted within the range of 5-20㎎. The safety of switching to olanzapine was measured with vital sings including body weight, adverse events reported spontaneously, laboratory tests, and various scales such as Simpson-Angus Scale(SAS), Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale(BARS). Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale(AIMS), and Liverpool University Neuroleptic Side Effect Rating Scale(LUNSERS). Results: 103 patients were switched to olanzapine in this study. The comparison between two switching methods did not show any significant difference in the dosage of olanzapine used, the concomitant use of benzodiazepine, the rate and reasons of drop-out, the adverse events, vital signs, laboratory tests, and most scales for measuring side-effects. However, the decrease in AIMS scores was significantly lower in ’direct switching method’ group, and the concomitant use of anticholinergics was comparatively greater in ’start-tapering switching method’ group. At baseline, SAS and BARS scores were 3.5 and 1.8 points respectively, and more than 70% of the subjects showed hyperprolactinemia. After switching to olanzapine, SAS, BARS, and AIMS scores were significantly decreased and the proportion of the patients with hyperprolactinemia was also decreased to less than 30%. However significant weight gain after the treatment of olanzapine was observed regardless of switching method. Conclusion: This study may suggest that switching to olanzapine can be done with relatively high safety regardless of switching methods and olanzapine can significantly decrease some side-effects induced by other antipsychotics.

Background: Onychomycosis, especially toenail onychomycosis has become one of the common fungal infection and has historically been regarded as a cosmetic rather than medical problem by many patients, even by physicians. Recently, however, there are several reports that is a refractory disease which may cause a deleterious effect on patiets quality of life (QOL). Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of toenail onychomycosis on QOL in Korea and to assess the chandes of QOL after treatment. Methods: Total 1004 patients with toenail onychomycosis which was confirmed by clinical findings and KOH preparation were were enrolled at 47 dermatologic centers in Korea, and interviewed with standardized QOL questionnaire before and after sytemic antifungal treatment. Responses to the questionnaire were scored by 5-point scale (1∼4) and averaged, and were analyzed for 5 dimensions of emotional impact, social impact, symptorn and functional impact, patients views concerning treatment, and relationship with doctor. Results: 1. Before and after treatment, the most serious impact was emotional dimension showing 1.90 and 1.30 in average score (AS), and social (AS: 1.14 and 0.83) and symptom and functional impact (AS: 1.05 and 0.92) was also affected. 2. In female rather than male, statistically more significant impact on patients QOL was observed in all dimensions. 3. After treatment, 3 of 5 dimensions were improved significantly - emotional dimension (AS : from 1.90 to 1.30), social dimension (AS: from 1.14 to 0.83), patients view concerning treatment (AS: from 1.34 to 1.02). 4. The drgree of patients satisfaction at the therapeutic effect was very high- 62.4% (immediately after treatment) and 65.8% (9 months affer initiation of treatment) of patients answered excellent or good. Conclusion: This study confirms that toenail onychomycosis has significant impact on the overall QOL of patients. Also the effect of antifungal therapy on patients QOL were watisfactory. Therefore, both doctor and patient should pay more attention to the treatment of onychomycosis. [Kor J Med Mycol 3(1): 115∼124]

( Si Hyung Lee ),( Sung Bum Kim ),( Kook Hyun Kim ),( Kyeong Ok Kim ),( Byung Ik Jang ),( Tae Nyeun Kim ) 대한내과학회 2014 대한내과학회 추계학술대회 Vol.2014 No.1

Background: Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection has been suggested to causes chronic infl ammation and insulin resistance, contributing to diabetes mellitus (DM). Previous studies concerning relationship between HP infection and diabetes mellitus showed confl icting results. The aim of our study was to evaluate relationship between HP infection and DM. Methods: Health promotion examinee who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and tested for HP infection, using rapid urease test and/or giemsa stain, in Yeungnam university hospital from Jan 2010 to Dec 2013 were included. Their medical records were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. Results: Among 23723 subjects, 1548 (6.1%) subjects were tested for HP infection and 1020 (65.9%) subjects showed HP infected status. Mean age was signifi cantly older in non-HP group than HP group (50.8±11.7 vs 48.4±10.3, p<0.001). Male proportion was signifi cantly higher in HP group than non-HP group (75.9% vs 71.2%, p=0.050). After propensity score matching between HP and non-HP group, there was no difference in mean age and male proportion between both groups. Mean hemoglobin A1C level showed higher tendency in HP group than non-HP group (5.9±1.1 vs 5.8±0.8, p=0.228). Presence of DM showed higher tendency in HP group than non-HP group (15.0% vs 13.1%, p=0.375). Conclusions: There was no signifi cant difference in hemoglobin A1C level and presence of DM between HP group and non-HP group. Further large scaled prospective studies are needed to evaluate relationship between HP infection and DM.

Kim, Si Hyeon,Lee, Jung Woo,Choi, Inwook,Kim, Young-Chan,Lee, Jong Bum,Sung, Jong Hwan American Scientific Publishers 2013 Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Vol.13 No.11

<P>The absorption of drugs via oral route is a subject of a great interest in drug development process. The current in vitro method for measuring the kinetics of drug absorption relies on 2-D monolayer culture of Caco-2 cells on a porous membrane, but physiologically unrealistic environment provided by this method often results in inaccurate drug absorption kinetics. Here we report a novel microfluidic system which better mimics the physiological environment of the human small intestine. Three dimensional geometries of villi of the small intestine were reproduced via novel hydrogel microfabrication technique, and the fluid flow in the apical and basolateral sides of intestinal tract was reproduced with a two-layer microfluidic device. A wide range of flow rates was achieved by using gravity-induced flow, potentially facilitating easier high-throughput implementation. The kinetics of diffusion process through the 3-D villi scaffold in the microfluidic device was measured and mathematically modeled. When combined with intestinal cell culture model, this novel 3-D microfluidic system can serve as an in vitro platform that better mimics the in vivo environment.</P>

Evaluation and Verification of Barley Genotypes with Known Genes for Resistance to Barley yellow mosaic virus and Barley mild mosaic virus Under Field Conditions in South Korea

Kim, Hong-Sik,Baek, Seong-Bum,Kim, Dea-Wook,Hwang, Jong-Jin,Kim, Si-Ju The Korean Society of Plant Pathology 2011 Plant Pathology Journal Vol.27 No.4

Soil-borne barley yellow mosaic disease caused by Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) or Barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV) gives a serious threat to the winter barley cultivated in the southern regions in Korea. It is important to develop resistant varieties for stable and high-yield production. The objectives of this study were to evaluate 22 genotypes of exotic barley germplasms carrying the resistance genes rym1 through rym12, with the exception of rym10, and to determine the genes that confer resistance to BaYMV or BaMMV in Korea. Using the traditional visual scoring of symptoms at 4 locations over 3 years, average disease rate values differed (P < 0.001) among the genotypes. ELISA test revealed the presence of both BaYMV and BaMMV in all of the field sites but Jinju and significantly different rates of infection among genotypes and years. Barley genotypes differed in how virus quantities and pathogen-induced symptoms were correlated, especially in response to BaYMV. Disease incidence was affected by the climatic conditions present during the early growing stage before overwintering. A Chinese landrace, 'Mokusekko 3', carrying rym1 and rym5 was comparatively resistant at all locations studied. The barley genotypes carrying either rym6 or rym9 were susceptible to the viral strains. The genotypes carrying rym5 were resistant in Jinju and Milyang but susceptible in Iksan and Naju. The resistance genes rym2 and rym3 were effective in local strains and would be potent contributors to disease resistance.

Design, Fabrication and Characterization of a Low-Power Gas Sensor with High Sensitivity to CO Gas

Si-Dong Kim,Jung-Sik Kim,Bum-Joon Kim,윤진호 한국물리학회 2007 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.51 No.III

Co-planar type micro gas sensors of high sensitivity and fast response were prepared by using a micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) process and a sol-gel method. The MEMS devices were designed and fabricated for low power consumption and high efficiency by adjusting the heater pattern and line width of the micro-heater. A finite element method (FEM) analysis was conducted for predicting the thermal efficiency and the temperature distribution, and the maximum value of the thermal efficiency was confirmed at a 60-$\mu$m width of the cap type mono line micro heater. The particle sizes of the SnO$_2$, the sensing material prepared by using a sol-gel process, was about 40 nm $\sim$ 50 nm, and the maximum gas sensitivity of the fabricated sensor was R$_S$ = 0.312 to 50 ppm CO gas at a 1.8-V heater voltage. The high sensitivity of the fabricated sensor for CO gas resulted from a reduction of the potential barrier, which was due to the overlapping of the depletion layer on the surfaces of the nano-sized SnO$_2$ particles.

ORiginal Article : Endoscopic Experience Improves Interobserver Agreement in the Grading of Esophagitis by Los Angeles Classification ; Conventional Endoscopy and Optimal Band Image System

Background/Aims: Interobserver variation by experience was documented for the diagnosis of esophagitis using the Los Angeles classification. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether interobserver agreement can be improved by higher levels of endoscopic experience in the diagnosis of erosive esophagitis. Methods: Endoscopic images of 51 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms were obtained with conventional endoscopy and optimal band imaging (OBI). Endoscopists were divided into an expert group (16 gastroenterologic endoscopic special-ists guaranteed by the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy) and a trainee group (individuals with fellow-ships, first year of specialty training in gastroenterology). All endoscopists had no or minimal experience with OBI. GERD was diagnosed using the Los Angeles classification with or without OBI. Results: The mean weighted paired κ statistics for interobserver agreement in grading erosive esophagitis by conventional endoscopy in the expert group was better than that in the trainee group (0.51 vs 0.42, p<0.05). The mean weighted paired k statistics in the expert group and in the trainee group based on conventional endoscopy with OBI did not differ (0.42, 0.42). Conclusions: Interobserver agree-ment in the expert group using conventional endoscopy was better than that in the trainee group. Endoscopic experience can improve the interobserver agreement in the grading of esophagitis using the Los Angeles classification. (Gut Liver 2014;8:154-159)
