With the results of observations in 2013 and 2014 including ocean buoys, in-situ investigations and wind data, we examined the spatio-temporal variation of cold water masses along the eastern coast of Korea. Usually, a cold water mass first appears along the northern part of the eastern coast from May to July, and then along the southern part of the eastern coast from late June to mid-August. Cold water masses appear 3~5 times a year and remain for 5~20 days in the southwestern part of the East Sea. A distinctive cold water mass appeared usually in mid-July in this area, the surface temperature of which was below $10^{\circ}C$ in some cases. During the appearance of a cold water mass in the southwestern part of the East Sea, the horizontal temperature gradient was large at the surface and a significant low water temperature below $8^{\circ}C$ appeared at the bottom level. This appearance of cold water masses clearly corresponded to southwesterly winds, which generated coastal upwelling.

김인수(In-Soo Kim)한재복(Jae-Bok Han),장성주(Seong-Joo Jang),장영일(Young-Ill Jang) 대한방사선과학회(구 대한방사선기술학회) 2010 방사선기술과학 Vol.33 No.1

본 연구에서는 약물용출성 스텐트 삽입 후 재협착에 관한 독립적 인자를 확인하고 MDCT로 측정된 calcium score가 재협착 발생의 예측인자로써 가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 2006년 5월부터 2009년 5월까지 전남대학교병원에서 MDCT상 관상동맥 협착이 발견되어 약물 용출 스텐트를 삽입 받은 환자 1,131명 중 추적검사로 관상동맥조영술을 시행되었던 178명(남자 159명, 여자 19명, 평균 연령 61.7, 연령분포 51~71세), 190개소 병변을 대상으로 하였으며 재협착 여부에 따라 두 군(비협착군 133병변, 재협착군 57병변)으로 나누어 비교 ․ 분석하였다. 그 결과 임상진단명은 진구성 심근경색이 비협착군 3예(2.3%), 재협착군 5예(8.8%)로 유의한 차이가 있었으며(p = 0.040), 급성 심근경색증, 불안정 협심증, 안정 협심증의 유병률은 차이가 없었다. 관상동맥 조영술 소견에서 병변 혈관의 위치는 재협착군에서 좌주간지 병변이 더 많았다(0.8% vs. 5.3%, p = 0.047). 스텐트 직경은 재협착군에서 유의하게 작았으며(3.3±0.4 mm vs. 3.1±0.3 mm, p = 0.004), 스텐트 길이는 양군 간에 차이가 없었다. 관상동맥 조영술 상 혈관의 초기 협착 정도는 재협착군에서 더 심했으며(86.1±11.4% vs. 91.5±9.2%, p = 0.001), 복잡 병변(B2/C형)은 양 군간에 차이가 없었다. 연령은 재협착군에서 더 높았고(60.2±9.9세 vs. 65.8±9.0세, p = 0.0001), 흡연력과 고지혈증은 비협착군에서(42.1% vs. 19.3%, p = 0.003, 23.3% vs. 8.8%, p = 0.019), 그리고 당뇨병은 재협착군에서 많았다(21.8% vs. 52.6%, p = 0.0001). 심초음파로 측정한 좌심실 구혈률은 양 군 간에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 전체 MDCT coronary artery calcium scoring는 비협착군 371.2±500.8, 재협착군 389.3±458.3로 차이가 없었고, 목표혈관과 좌주간지, 좌전하행지, 좌회선지 및 우관상동맥 각각의 calcium score 역시 양군 간 차이가 없었다. 다 변량 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 좌주간지병변(OR = 168.0, 95% CI = 7.83-3,604.3, p = 0.001), 남성(OR = 36.5, 95% CI = 5.89-2,226.9, p = 0.0001), 당뇨병의 존재(OR = 2.62, 95% CI = 1.071~6.450, p = 0.035)가 약물용출성 스텐트 삽입 후 재협착 발생에 대한 독립적인 예측인자이었다. 따라서 관상동맥 협착에 대해 약물용출 스텐트를 삽입 받은 환자에서 스텐트 내 재협착의 발생은 좌주간지병변, 남성, 당뇨병의 존재와 관련이 있었으나, MDCT로 측정된 calcium score는 재협착 발생에 대한 독립적인 예측인자로써 기능은 없었다. We sought to confirm an independent factor about in-stent restenosis (ISR) in the patients who underwent drug-eluting stent (DES) and know a possibility as a predictor of measured coronary artery calcium score by MDCT. A total of 178 patients (159 men, 61.7±10.0 years of age) with 190 coronary artery lesions were included in this study out of 1,131 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with DES implantation for significant stenosis on MDCT at Chonnam National University Hospital between May 2006 and May 2009. All lesions were divided into two groups with the presence of ISR : group I (re ISR, N = 57) and group II (no ISR, N = 133). Compared to group II, group I was more likely to be older (65.8±9.0 vs. 60.2±9.9 years, p = 0.0001), diabetic (21.8% vs. 52.6%, p = 0.0001), have old myocardial infarction (8.8% vs. 2.3%, p = 0.040), left main stem disease (5.3% vs. 0.8%, p = 0.047), and smaller stent size (3.1±0.3 mm vs. 3.3±0.4 mm, p = 0.004). Group II was more likely to be smokers (19.3% vs. 42.1%, p = 0.003), have dyslipidemia (8.8% vs. 23.3%, p = 0.019). Left ventricular ejection fraction, lesion complexity, and stent length were not different between the two groups. Total CAC score was 389.3±458.3 in group I and 371.2±500.8 in group II (p = 0.185). No statistical difference was observed between the groups in CAC score in the culprit vessel, left main stem, left anterior descending artery, left circumflex artery, and right coronary artery. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, left main stem disease (OR = 168.0, 95% CI = 7.83-3,604.3, p = 0.001), male sex (OR = 36.5, 95% CI = 5.89-2,226.9, p = 0.0001), and the presence of diabetes (OR = 2.62, 95% CI = 1.071-6.450, p = 0.035) were independent predictors of ISR after DES implantation. In patients who underwent DES implantation for significant coronary stenosis on MDCT, ISR was associated with left main stem disease, male sex, and the presence of diabetes. However, CAC score by MDCT was not a predictor of ISR in this study population.

Purpose: We performed this study to determine how the emergency trauma team affects the treatment of patients with multiple severe trauma and to discuss the effect and the direction of the emergency trauma team`s management. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 518 patients who visited our emergency department with severe trauma from August 2006 to July 2008. We divided the severe trauma patients into 2 groups: patients before and after trauma team management (Group 1 and Group 2). Then, we compared demographic characteristics, mechanisms of injury, and treatment outcomes (lengths of stay in the ED, admission ratio, and in-hospital mortality) between the 2 groups. In the same way, patients with multiple severe trauma were divided into 2 groups, that are patients before and after trauma team management (Group 3 and Group 4) and analyzed. Results: There was no significant difference, except mean age, between groups 1 and 2. In group 4 patients, compared to group 3 patients, the lengths of stay in the ED were lower (p value<0.001), and the admission ratio were higher (p value=0.017), but there was no significant difference in the in-hospital mortality between the groups 3 and 4. Conclusion: When patients with multiple severe trauma visit the ED, the emergency trauma team`s management can decrease the lengths of stay in the ED and increase the admission ratio, but does not produce a decrease in the in-hospital mortality rate. Further investigations of emergency trauma team management are needed to improve treatment outcomes for patients with multiple severe trauma. (J Korean Soc Traumatol 2009;22:172-78)

약물방출 스텐트 (drug-eluting stents, DES)는 일반금속 스텐트에 비하여 재협착을 현저하게 줄었지만, DES의 구조적인 특성으로 인한 스텐트 혈전증 (stent thrombosis, ST)이 증가한다고 알려져 있다. 혈전증 유형의 정의는 Early ST ; (EST)은 30일 이내, Late ST ; (LST)은 31일 이상에서 1년 이내 그리고 Very late ST ; (VLST)은 1년 이상으로 분류 하였다. 스텐트 세대별 (시장 출시와 스텐트 디자인, Polymer 향상에 따른) ST발생빈도, 임상 양상 및 예후를 알아보았다. 2003년 6월부터 2013년 6월까지의 전남대학교병원 심혈관센터에서 경피적 관상동맥 중재술을 시행 받은 10,273명 중 ST 발생은 134명(1.30%) 이었다. 세대별 발생빈도는 1세대에서 81명 (0.79%)으로 높았으며, 세대별 ST 유형은 1세대에서는 VLST의 발생률이 높았고 (p=0.002), 2세대에서는 EST와 LST의 발생률이 높았지만 (p=0.025), 3세대에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다(p=0.278). ST로 인하여 사망한 14명은 EST 10명 (18.2%), LST 2명(8.3%), VLST 2명 (3.6%)로서 EST에서 사망률이 높았다 (p=0.042). DES 시술 후 발생하는 ST는 1.3%이였고, VLST는 1세대 스텐트에서 많았으며, 입원 중 사망률은 EST에서 높았다. Stent thrombosis after successful drug-eluting stent(DES) implantation has been reported in around 1% of patients in clinical trials. However, the increased risk of ST associated with DES remains a matter of concern. From 1 June 2003 to 30 June 2013, we investigated clinical characteristics, in-hospital outcomes in 10,273 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention in the Heart Center of CNUH. Overall incidence of ST was 1.30% (134 patients). The incidence of ST according to the stent generations and the timing of ST (n= total, early vs. late vs. very late) were 0.79% (n =81, 26 vs. 12 vs. 43) in first-generation, 0.38% (n=39, 21 vs. 9 vs. 9) in second-generation and 0.14% (n=14, 8 vs 3 vs. 3) in third-generation, (p=0.70). The mortality from ST was significantly higher in early ST group compared to the late and very late ST groups (18.2% vs. 8.3% vs. 3.6%, p=0.042). Overall incidence of ST after DES implantation was 1.30% (134 patients). The in-hospital mortality was significantly higher in early ST group compared to the late and very late ST groups.

A pulse tube refrigerator is a small scale cryocooler which was invented by Gifford and Longsworth in 1963. It has the advantages of high reliability and low vibration because it has no moving part in the cold part. In recent years, the pulse tube cryocooler have cooling capacities and thermal efficiencies comparable with the Stirling cryocooler. These advantages promote the widespread use of the pulse tube cryocooler in many fields, specially in space-borne application that require a long life and stable temperature. An in-line pulse tube cryocooler has been designed and tested in our laboratory. The main part of the cryocooler, consisting of an in-line assembly of aftercooler, regenerator, cold heat exchanger, inertance tube, buffer and hot heat exchanger. Generally, a long tube with small diameter is used as an inertance tube and it imposes resistance and impedance to gas flow simultaneously. Phase between pressure and flow at cold-end is adjusted by length of the inertance tube with fixed diameter. This paper presents the results of a series of performance tests for the in-line type pulse tube cryocooler. Experimental investigations have been conducted to evaluate their performance characteristics with respect to several parameters such as the phase shifter, operating pressure and operating frequency of the linear compressor.

본 연구는 일차적인 경피적 관상동맥 중재술(percutaneous coronary intervention, PCI)를 시술 받은 65세 이상의 고령 환자들에서 임상적 특성, 관상동맥 병변 및 중재술의 특성, 병원 내 및 1년 사망률과 주요심장사건(major adverse cardiac events, MACE)의 발생에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 2006년 1월 1일부터 2010년 12월 30일까지 모 대학병원 심혈관센터에서 급성 심근경색증으로 진단받고 흉통 발생 12시간 이내 관상동맥 조영술 및 일차적 PCI를 시행 받은 환자 1,974예를 대상으로 하였고, 65세 이상의 I군(1,018예, 연령 73.8±5.99세, 남자 : 여자 =574 : 821)과 65세 이하의 II군(956예, 연령 52.8±7.96세, 남자 : 여자 = 444 : 135)으로 나누어 분석하였다. 심혈관질환의 위험인자는 I군에서 더 높았고, 흡연력, 고지혈증, 가족력은 II군에서 높았다. PCI표적 병변은 I군에서 좌주관지(2.7 vs. 1.6%, p=0.007)가 유의하게 많았으며, 다혈관병변(54.5 vs. 41.0%, p<0.001)도 I군에서 많았다. 병원 내 사망(8.4 vs. 1.9%)과 MACE(20.1 vs. 14.0%)는 I군에서 많이 관찰되었다(p<0.001). 로지스틱 다중회귀분석 결과 65세 이상 고령 환자에서 1년 사망률에 영향을 미치는 독립적인 인자는 내원 시 혈중 creatinine 1.3 mg/dL 이상, 뇌혈관 질환, 수축기 혈압<100 mmHg, Killip class II이상, 다혈관 질환, 그리고 좌심실 구혈률<40%로 나타났다. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been found to be superior, in terms of hospital mortality and long-term outcome, compared with thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the clinical benefits of primary PCI have not been precisely evaluated in elderly patients.1,974 patients (Group I: n=1,018, age≥65years, 73.8±5.99years; Group II: n=956, age<65years, 52.8±7.96years) who underwent primary PCI for AMI at Chonnam National University Hospital between 2006 and 2010 were analyzed according to their clinical, angiographic characteristics for hospital and one-year survival. Group I had a higher percentage of women, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, multi-vessel disease and lower prevalence of current smoking, hyperlipidemia, familial history than Group II. Culprit lesions were at the left anterior descending artery, left circumflex artery, right coronary artery and left main artery in 42.8% vs. 45.0%, 34.1% vs. 29.6%, 14.6% vs 14.6, 2.7% vs. 1.6%, respectively (p=0.007). Stent diameter was smaller in group I (3.17±0.39 vs. 3.29±0.42mm, p=0.001). In-hospital mortality was higher in group I (8.4 vs. 1.9%, p<0.001). There were significant differences in the rates of major adverse cardiac events between the two groups during one-year clinical follow-up (20.1 vs.14.0%, p<0.001). On multiple logistic regression analysis, systolic blood pressure<100mmHg, serum creatinine≥1.3mg/dL, Killip class> I, multivessel disease, left ventricular ejection fraction<40% and cerebro vascular disease were independent predictors of one-year motality in patients over 65 years after PCI.

김인수(In Soo Kim),한재복(Jae Bok Han),장성주(Seong Joo Jang) 대한방사선과학회(구 대한방사선기술학회) 2014 방사선기술과학 Vol.37 No.2

본 연구에서는 관상동맥 중재술로 관상동맥 약물방출 스텐트(drug-eluting stent, DES) 삽입 후 스텐트 골절에 대한 임상적 특성, 결과 및 예후에 대하여 연구하였다. 약물방출 스텐트 시술을 받고 추적 관상동맥조영술을 실시한 4,701명 환자에서 스텐트 골절이 발생한 환자는 32명(남:여=19:13, 평균연령 62.44±9.8세, 0.68%)이었다. DES의 종류별 스텐트 골절의 빈도는 SES(sirolimus- eluting stents) 19(59.4%), PES(paclitaxel-eluting stents) 9명(28.1%), BES(biolimus A9-eluting stents) 2명(6.3%), EES(everolimus-eluting stents) 1명(3.1%), EPC(endothelial progenitor cell capture stent) 1명(3.1%), ZES(zotarolimus-eluting stents) 0명(0%) 이었다. 표적 병변은 우관상동맥 13명(40.6%) 좌전하행지 16명(50.0%), 좌회선지 3명(9.4%)이었다. 각 혈관의 병변 형태는 복잡병변인 B2, C형이 25명(69.4%)이었다. 스텐트 골절 환자 중 스텐트 내 협착은 17명(53.1%)이었으며, 스텐트 골절 병변에 대한 치료는 내과적 관찰 16명(50.0%), 동종의 관상동맥 DES 시술 3명(9.4%), 이종의 관상동맥 DES 시술 10명(31.3%), 관상동맥 풍선 확장술 3명(9.4%)이었다. 추적검사에서는 32.9±12.4개월 동안 스텐트 골절로 인한 사망을 포함한 심장사는 발생하지 않았다. 결론적으로 관상동맥 중재술로 관상동맥 DES를 시술받은 추적관찰 대상 환자에서 3.7년 추적관찰 기간동안 스텐트 골절 발생률은 0.68%로 나타났으며, PES보다 SES에서 많은 발생 빈도를 보였다. 좌전하행지와 복잡병변에 대한 시술 후 스텐트 골절이 많이 발생하였다. 또한 스텐트 골절 정도와 협착 병변이 중대한 경우에만 관상동맥 중재술을 실시하였으며, 추적관찰 기간 중 스텐트 골절이 있는 환자는 병용 항혈소판 요법을 지속적으로 투여하였다. 특히 사망을 포함한 주요 심장사건에 관련하여 스텐트 골절과 연관된 심장사의 발생률은 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해서 스텐트가 가지고 있는 특성 스텐트 디자인이 폐쇄형(closed cell) 디자인 SES에서 발생 빈도가 높음을 제시함으로써 스텐트 개발에 도움이 될 거라 판단된다. Many studies have suggested that in the era of Drug-Eluting Stents(DES) are one of the causes of In-Stent Restenosis(ISR) of Stent Fracture(SF). The present study sought to evaluate clinical characteristics of patients with stent fracture after successful DES implantation. The 4,701 patients were selected for analysis who underwent a follow-up coronary angiography irre-spective of ischemic symptoms. The overall incidence of SF was 32 patients(male:female=19:13, Av. age 62.44±9.8year, 0.68%). Fractures of Sirolimus-Eluting Stents(SES), Paclitaxel-Eluting Stents(PES), Biolimus A9-Eluting Stents(BES), Everolimus-Eluting Etents(EES), Endothelial Progenitor Cell Capture Stent(EPC) and Zotarolimus-Eluting Stents(ZES) are accounted for 19(59.4%), 9(28.1%),2(6.3%),1(3.1%),1(3.1%)and 0(0%) respectively. SF developed in the left Anterior Dscending(LAD) artery in 16 patients(50%) and in complex(type B2, C) lesions in 25 patients(69.4%). Ten patients were treated with heterogenous DES, the rest being treated with either homogenous DES(3 patients), plain old balloon angioplasty(3 patients), or conservative medical treatment(17 patients). None of the patients with SF suffered from cardiac death dur-ing a follow-up period of 32.9±12.4 months. The overall rate of DES fracture over up to 3.7 years of follow-up was 0.68% with higher incidence in SES than in PES. SF frequently occurred in the LAD artery and in complex lesions. Of the patients with SF, coronary intervention was performed only when the binary restenosis lesion was significant. During the follow-up, patients with SF have continued on combination antiplatelet therapy. There is a very low rate of major adverse cardiac events(post-detection of SF), especially cardiac death associated with SF.

This study was carried out to test the body fat breakdown during topical seaweed extract treatment and in combination with the aerobic exercise. Of 20 female obesity subjects, ten treated a cream types of seaweed extract(control group) and ten treated a placebo cream(placebo group). Topical treatment of each sample was designed for 4 weeks, and treated with 2 times a day about 10ml on the abdomen and the thigh, respectively. All subjects were participated aerobic dance half hour a day and four times a week. After 4 weeks of topical treatment and exercise, they were measured body fat, skinfold thickness, body circumference. Then venous blood samples were taken and analyzed blood cells, serum enzymes, and serum lipids. There were reduction of body weight, % of body fat, antebrachium, brachium, chest, waist, thigh circumference and abdomen thickness between pre and post treatment in both group. Especially, body weight and % of body fat significantly reduced in the subjects treating the seaweed extract than those treating the placebo. There were significant decrement in total cholesterol and LDL whereas increment in HDL and TBIL in the control group, but no significant difference in the placebo group. In conclusion, there were 7.6% of body fat reduction during 4 weeks of aerobic exercise and 21% of body fat reducement in combination of topical seaweed treatment and exercise, respectively. These results suggest that the topical treatment of seaweed extract should be very effective for fat breakdown. Especially, the body fat breakdown maximized in the combination with the topical seaweed extracts treatment and the aerobic exercise.
