<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>We have developed the Integrated Climate and Air Quality Modeling System (ICAMS) through the one-way nesting of global–regional models to examine the changes in the surface ozone concentrations over East Asia under future climate scenarios. Model simulations have been conducted for the present period of 1996–2005 to evaluate the performance of ICAMS. The simulated surface ozone concentrations reproduced the observed monthly mean concentrations at sites in East Asia with high R<SUP>2</SUP> values (0.4–0.9), indicating a successful simulation to capture both spatial and temporal variability. We then performed several model simulations with the six IPCC SRES scenarios (A2, A1B, A1FI, A1T, B1, and B2) for the next three periods, 2016–2025 (the 2020s), 2046–2055 (the 2050s), and 2091–2100 (the 2090s). The model results show that the projected changes of the annual daily mean maximum eight-hour (DM8H) surface ozone concentrations in summertime for East Asia are in the range of 2–8 ppb, −3 to 8 ppb, and −7 to 9 ppb for the 2020s, the 2050s, and the 2090s, respectively, and are primarily determined based on the emission changes of NO<SUB>x</SUB> and NMVOC. The maximum increases in the annual DM8H surface ozone and high-ozone events occur in the 2020s for all scenarios except for A2, implying that the air quality over East Asia is likely to get worse in the near future period (the 2020s) than in the far future periods (the 2050s and the 2090s). The changes in the future environment based on IPCC SRES scenarios would also influence the change in the occurrences of high-concentrations events more greatly than that of the annual DM8H surface ozone concentrations. Sensitivity simulations show that the emissions increase is the key factor in determining future regional surface ozone concentrations in the case of a developing country, China, whereas a developed country, Japan would be influenced more greatly by effects of the regional climate change than the increase in emissions.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Change in ozone level is determined by the combination of NO<SUB>x</SUB> and NMVOC emissions. </LI> <LI> Ozone level over East Asia would get worse in the near future (the 2020s) than far future. </LI> <LI> A high-concentration event generally increases and more frequently occurs in the future. </LI> <LI> Change in ozone air quality in a developing country depends more on emissions change. </LI> <LI> Change in ozone air quality in a developed country depends more on climate change. </LI> </UL> </P>

Skilled and experienced anestheia is of great importance for patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation, because of multiple preexisting medical problems in such patients as well as the intraoperative problems of rapid hemodynamic, metabolic, and coagulation changes. In this study, the intraoperative hemodynamic and laboratory data were analyzed in ten dogs that underwent an orthotopic liver transplantation procedure by veno-venous bypass using Biopump. Liver transplantation can be divided into three distinct periods: stage I, or preanhepatic stage, which begins with the induction of anesthesia and continues until cross clamping of portal vein and IVC; stage II, or anhepatic stage, which begins at the anhepatic time and continues until the donor liver is reperfused by the recipients circulating blood; and stage III, or postanhepatic stage, which begins at the time of reperfusion and continues until the end of surgical procedure. The hemodynamic changes at the time of IVC and portal vein cross clamping were decreases in CVP, PCWP, and pulmonary artery pressure in spite of using Biopump. The significant metabolic alternations during anhepatic stage were decrease in blood glucose levels and increase in blood lactate levels. The more significant hemodynamic changes occurred at the time of reperfusion. Systolic pressure decreased suddenly to 58±6 mmHg and cardiac output decreased to 1.08±0.1l L/min. However heart rate, pulmonary artery pressure, CVP, and PCWP did not change significantly. During stage III, hyperglycemia occurred quite frequently. Significant abnormal coagulation chages could not be found, probably because the dogs were healthy. In conclusion, during anhepatic stage, we have to compensate for alternations of fluid balance. At the time of reperfusion, we should prevent severe hemodynamic changes and treat them immediately if they occur. However, it seems that glucose administration is not necessary to the liver recipient during stage II because there is no significant hemodynamic depression e to hypoglycemia at this time and hyperglycemia occurs later

N/A Although bone scan is a highly sensitive test for detecting bone metastasis, its findings are often limited in specificity and cannot be used for assessing the bone marrow. Bone marrow scintigraphy may provide useful information but previous experience with radiolabelled colloid has been disappointing. Recently, 99mTc labeled anti-granulocyte rnonoclonal antibody (anti-NCA-95 MAb) has been introdueed as a new bone marrow imaging agent. To evaluate the usefulness of 99mTc anti-NCA MAb bone marrow scans for detecting skeietal metastasis, bone marrow scans of 44 malignant tumor patients were evaluated and compared with bone scan fmdings. Bone scan showed abnormal lesions in 26(59%) cases, and 18 of these patients also had an abnormal bone marrow scan. Seven of the 8 patients who had normal bone marrow scan despite bone scan lesions were confirmed to be free from metastasis. There was one case with a marrow defect despite normal bone scan but the presence of metastasis was not determined due to loss of follow up. Bone scan demonstrated a total of 64 lesions while bone marrow scan showed 38 lesions. Fifty percent (32/64) of the bone scan lesions had matching marrow defects while the rernaining 50% did not. Most of these non matched lesions were suggested to be nonspecific 1esions such as rib fractures or degenerative change. Meanwhile bone marrow scan was able to detect 6 new lesions not detected by bone scan, but metastasis in each lesion was not confirmed. Bone marrow scan was also helpful in assessing equivocal bone scan lesions to be of metastatic nature in 10 patients by demonstrating a matched marrow defect. Thus 99mTc anti-NCA MAb bone marrow scan can help exclude metastasis in patients with nonspecific bone scan lesions and may be able to detect metastatic lesions not seen with bone scan. It appears useful as a complementary study to bone scan in evaluating malignant tumor patients.

저자들은 인슐린 비의존형 당뇨병 환자에서 통증성 구강내 미란 및 전신성 수포성 미란을 동반한 심상성 천포창 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. Various skin conditions such as diabetic dermopathy, necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum, bullosis diabeticorum, granuloma annulare occur frequently in diabetes, although common lesions may be associated by chance. Pemphigus vulgaris(PV) is a blistering skin disease seen predominantly in elderly patients. This disorder is characterized by the loss of cohesion between epidermal cells with the resultant formation of intraepidermal blisters. These blisters rupture easily, leaving denuded areases that may crust and enlarge peripherally. In half or more of patients, lesions begin in the mouth: approximately 90% of patients have oromucosal involvement at some time during the course of their disease. But the relationship of this disorder with diabetes is not clear. We experienced a case of pemphigus vulgaris associated with NIDDM in 67 years old woman who was admitted due to painful oral ulcer and control of blood glucose, so we present this case with a review of literatures.

Phosphorus in natural water and wastewater exists in supersaturated state due to low solubility, and it is difficult to form crystals and precipitates because precipitation rate in steps of nucleation, crystal growth, agglomeration and ripening is slow. Precipitation rate can be increased by seeding the crystals which has components and structure similar to the precipitates. This study is based on the precipitation mechanism and was performed to see phosphorus removal efficiency of various clamshells serving as surface precipitation media. The results obtained from this study are following ; From XRD analysis for various clamshells, major component of clamshell used as phosphorus removal material is found to be CaCO₃/aragonite. The batch tests with the clamshells showed excellent phosphorus removal efficiency up on 99% depending on the experimental condition. Phosphorus removal efficiency was dependent on temperature, detention time, pH and shell particle size, and appeared relatively high removal efficiency at high temperature, long detention time, low pH and small shell particle size. Phosphorus removal technology using clamshells has many advantages of reusing solid wastes, not producing sludge as well as not adding chemicals.

Background: The purpose of this study was to document the incidence and clinical characteristics of patients with tuberculosis (TB) in combat and auxiliary police, living in a group, in Korea where the incidence rate of active TB in a general population is higher than in Western countries. Materials and Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all tuberculosis patients diagnosed at National Police Hospital from January 2002 through December 2004. Results:In 2002-2004, a total of 156 cases of tuberculosis were identified with the mean (Standard deviation) age of 20.6 (±1.0) years. Of these, 134 (85.9%) patients were registered as new cases, 11 (7.1%) as relapse, 2 (1.3%) as failure, 5 (3.1%) as treatment-after-default cases whereas 4 (2.6 %) patients were not included in any categories. Average annual new TB rate and smear-positive TB rate were 86.5/10^(5) and 17.4/10^(5) person-years, respectively. In 12 of 31 smear-positive cases, time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis was more than 30 days. Two multidrug-resistance TB cases were identified and two suspected outbreak episodes of TB had occurred during 3 years. Conclusion:There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence rate of new cases of TB between the general population aged 20 to 29 years and combat and auxiliary police in Korea. 배경 : 국내 결핵의 발생은 감소 추세에 있으나 여전히 후진국형 발생양상을 보이고 있다. 특히 집단생활을 하는 젊은이들에서 발생하는 결핵의 유행이 간헐적으로 알려지고 있어 우려를 낳고 있다. 이에 저자들은 최근 전경대원의 결핵 발병 양상에 대해 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 2002년 1월부터 2004년 12월까지 3년간 경찰병원에서 결핵 진료를 받은 전경대원의 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하여 연도별 결핵 신환발생률, 도말양성결핵 신환율, 진단 지연, 집단발병, 다제내성결핵을 조사하였다. 결과 : 연도별 결핵 신환자 수(10만명당 발생추정치)는 2002년 50명(83.6명), 2003년 42명(83.7명), 2004년 42명(93.5명)이었고 도말양성 폐결핵 신환자 수는 2002년 10명(16.7명), 2003년 11명(21.9명), 2004년 6명(13.4명)이었다. 3년간 도말양성 폐결핵 환자는 31명이 있었고 그 중 12명은 호흡기 증상 발생 30일이 지나서 진단을 받았다. 다제내성 결핵은 2명이 있었으며 결핵의 집단발병이 의심되는 사례는 2차례 있었다. 결론 : 전경대원과 20-29세 연령군 일반인의 결핵 신환발생률, 도말양성 폐결핵 발생률의 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다.

생활하수처리를 위한 CNR Process 설계요소 연구

왕창근,전문환 충남대학교 환경문제연구소 2000 環境硏究 Vol.18 No.-

A biological nutrient removal system combining A2O process with biofilm was studied in this work and the characteristics of nitrogen and phophorus removal was especially investigated for the Cilium Nutrient Removal Process(CNR process). The CNR process consisted of anaerobic, anoxic, aerobic zone in series, and aerobic zone contains packed cilium media. The CNR has benefits in solving the problems which inhibit denitrification and phophorus uptake in anoxic reactor due to the lack of organic compounds. The bench-scale experiment was performed using Tae-jon and Um-am domestic wastewater and the influent was accomplished with step-feed loading to the reactor. Removal efficiency of contaminants including BOD, COD, TN and TP was relatively high.

미세 골절 진달을 위한 초음파 C-scan의 활용 가능성

박원근,최민주,이원흠,이윤준,이헌주,강창익,박전홍 제주대학교 공과대학 첨단기술연구소 2001 尖端技術硏究所論文集 Vol.12 No.2

The study examines the medical potential of an ultrasonic C-scanning technique and for diagnosis of the fatigue induced micro-fractures of the bone. In general, it is not easy to detect the micro­fracture by a simple radiological technique. In the study, the micro­fractures were made on the tibia taken from pigs using a three point bending. Comparison was made between the ultrasonic C-scan images (25 MHz) and X-ray images of the bones with the micro-fractures, It was found that the micro-fractures invisible on the X-ray images were observed on the ultrasonic images. It is proposed further in-vitro and in-vivo studies making the ultrasonic C-scan technique clinically useful for the diagnosis of the fatigued induced micro-fractures of the bone which are not possible to detect by the conventional radiological method.

연구배경: 혈장 파라옥소나제의 감소는 HDL-cholesterol의 항 산화작용의 중요한 요소로 알려져 있어 이의 감소는 항산화작용의 저하로 인해 동맥경화의 진행을 촉진시킬 수 있어 허혈성심장병의 주요 위험인자로 추정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 급성 심근 경색증 환자를 대상으로 혈장 파라옥소나제의 활성도를 측정하여 정상군과 비교하여 혈장 파라옥소나제 활성도의 감소가 급성 심근 경색증의 위험인자인지 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 급성 심근 경색증으로 입원한 39 명의 환자(남자 : 여자 = 19 : 20, 평균나이: 61±4.3세)와 정상 대조군 36명(남자 : 여자 = 17 : 19, 평균나이: 55±10세)을 대상으로 정맥혈을 채혈 후 파라옥소나제 활성도와 LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol를 측정하였다. 두 군간의 비교는 Student T-test를 이용하였다. 결과: 건강 대조군과 급성 심근 경색 환자군 간에 측정치를 비교해본 결과 혈장 콜레스테롤 수치는 182.10± 12mg/dl, 194.87± 40mg/dl이고 HDL 콜레스테롤은 54±5.4mg/dl, 37.52± 13mg/dl 였다. LDL 콜레스테롤은 94.45±13mg/d1, 122±34mg/d1로 급성 심근 경색증 환자의 경우 통계학적으로 의미있는 차이를 보였다. (P<0.05). 그러나 혈장 파라옥소나제 활성도는 건강 대조군 112.35±15U/ml, 급성심근 경색증 환자군 96.10±43.50U/ml로 급성 심근 경색증 환자군이 건강 대조군에 비해 낮은 수치를 보이는 경향이 있었으나 통계학적으로 유의한 차이(P=0.071)는 보이지 않았다(Table 2참조). Background : Human plasma paraoxonase is a HDL-associated ester hydrolase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of organophosphates, aromatic carboxylic acid esters and carbamates. HDL has been implicated in the prevention of LDL lipid peroxidation. Low paraoxonase activity in the Plasma may have responsibility to the development of coronary artery disease partially because oxidized LDL has intimate relationship with atherosclerosis. We studied plasma paraoxonase activities in the plasma of acute myocardial infarction patients in order to evaluate the relationship between these enzyme activities and the acute myocardial infarction. Materials and Methods : plasma samples were obtained from 39 individuals with acute myocardial infarction(M: 19 cases, F: 20cases, mean age: 61(4.3 years) and 36 individuals of healthy control(M: 17 cases, F: 19cases, mean age: 55(10 years). We determined paraoxonase activities, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol &DL-cholesterol levels in the plasma samples. Paraoxonase activities were measured spectrophoto metrically in 0.1M Tris-HCl buffer (pH=7.4) at 25℃ with paraoxon as substrate(5.5mM) at 405 nm. We used student T-test to compare the results of both groups. Results : Comparison of the results between myocardial infarction patients and normal control groups revealed that plasma total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels showed statistically significant differences between groups but plasma paraoxonase activity does not. Conclusion : Our study showed that there was no significant difference of plasma paraoxonase activity between acute myocardial infarction and normal population. So low plasma paraoxonase activity may not be a risk factor of acute myocardial infarction. but further prospective large scale study will be needed to conclude.

중독한 추체로 증상을 보인 cyclosporine에 의한 뇌증 1예

강정현,곽승근,신현영,김성은,이정호,이정찬,곽상혁,윤환중,조덕연,김삼용,김제,송창준 충남대학교 의과대학 지역사회의학연구소 2000 충남의대잡지 Vol.27 No.1

The use of cyclosporine(CsA), a potent immunosuppressive agent, is associated with numerous side effects. Neurotoxicity was earlier less well known, but with growing experience central nervous system side effects are now reported up to 40% of patients. Among various CsA-induced neurotoxicities, tremor is most common and posterior leukoencephalopathy is well characterized. An encephalopathy presenting with pyramidal weakness, however, seems to be rare and poorly documented. We report here a case of encephalopathy presenting with multiple generalized seizures followed by fluctuating quadriparesis developed a few days after starting CsA and resolved spontaneously after withdrawal of the drug . A 48-year-old woman with aplastic anemia was placed upon immmunosuppressive treatment consisting of antithymocyte globulin(ATG), CsA, and methylprednisolone. Two days after starting the therapy, she developed a generalized seizure. The next day she developed 2 more episodes of seizure and the therapy was stopped. Computed tomogram of the brain was normal. Six days after starting therapy, she developed mild motor weakness and paresthesia of both lower extremities, which progressed to a definite quariparesis confining her to a bed in 3 days. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) of the brain revealed asymmetric, bilateral high-signal abnormalites in the subcortical white matter of fronto-temporal areas. After reaching to a maximum with some fluactuation(14 days after starting the therapy) the motor weakness started to be resolved. She was discharged with a almost complete resolution of the weakness 45 days after starting the therapy. Five months later she did well and brain MRI was negative.
