Background: Solar urticaria (SU) is an uncommon type of photodermatoses characterized by erythematous wheal with pruritus after sunlight exposure, which shows a female predominance. Only a few studies to analyze the clinical features of SU were reported in Asia. Objectives: We aimed to analyze the clinical and photobiological characteristics of SU in Korea. Methods: We retrospectively investigated the medical records of patients with SU who visited the department of dermatology, Konkuk university medical center from January 2005 to January 2020. Results: Of a total of 44 patients, 36 (81.8%) were male and 8 (18.2%) were female. The mean age at onset was 17.6 years (range, 5-47) and the mean threshold time was 19.7 minutes. Among 32 patients who underwent phototesting, the action spectrum most commonly implicated was ultraviolet (UV) A only in 12 (37.5%), and then visible light (415nm) only was responsible for SU in 8 (25.0%). Three patients (9.4%) were induced by both UVA and visible light (415nm). Even 4 patients (12.5%) were triggered by only natural sunlight. Serum immunoglobulin E levels were measured in 33 patients, and 17 (51.5%) showed values higher than normal. The treatment most widely used were oral antihistamine (43.2%), followed by phototherapy (13.6%). Conclusion: SU is a rare photodermatosis in Korea, which shows a male preponderance. In this study, UVA and visible light (415nm) were predominant action spectrum of SU.

Background: Intratumoral injection of OK-432 produced significant antitumor effects. There are reports that OK-432 was injected directly into tumor tissue on gastrointestinal tracts and HCC tissue, producing decrease in serum alpha-fetoprotein level. We adopted this technique for treating locally advanced lung cancer. The object of this study is to evaluate the local therapeutic efficacy, side effects of injection for treating symptomatic mass. Methods: Twenty lung cancer patients (13 males and 7 females) underwent sonography guided OK-432 injection. We analyzed relationships between response of OK-432 and response of skin test, histology and age. Pain that patients feel was evaluated by VAS (Visual Analog scale). Results: A significant decrease of tumor size was observed. The mean pre-injection diameter of the lesions was 54.7±11.3mm, PR rate were 15.0% (3/20) and minimal change (50%<tumor size decreased.) patients were 35.0% (7/20). The VAS score before injecting OK-432 into the lesion was 5±3, this was decreased to 2.5±1.5 (p=0.04). Object response was significantly correlated with skin response, adenocarcinoma, and age. Conclusion: A significant decrease of tumor size and pain was observed. So OK-432 is a valuable treatment option for patients with symptomatic lesion from advanced lung cancer who are not amenable to further therapy.

뇌졸중, 파킨슨 병, 척수신경손상 등으로 연하관련 근육들의 협동운동장애가 발생한 환자에서 흡인성 폐렴이 반복되거나 경장영양이 곤란하게 된다. 이러한 경우에 경피내시경하 위루술(percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy)은 이들 환자의 생명을 유지하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 해 왔다. 위궤양 혹은 위암 등으로 위절제술을 받은 환자에서 위루술 대신에 부득이 경피내시경하 공장루술(direct percutanous endosopic jujunostomy)이 시행되었던 경우는 국내외에 몇 례의 보고가 있다. 본 증례는 과거 후두암 때문에 후두부식도절제술 후 결장 끼어듬(colon interposition) 수술을 받은 65세 남자 환자로 최근 좌측중대뇌동맥 경색으로 연하장애가 발생되었다. 저자들은 이 환자에게 지속적인 영양공급을 위하여 경피내시경하 결장루술을 합병증 없이 시행하였기에 보고하는 바이다. Dysphagia is a loss of coordination in the swallowing musles. It has occurred in patients with cerebrovascualr accident, head injury, Parkinson's disease or cervical cord injury. Dysphagia results in nutritional deficiency or repeated aspiration pneumonia. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy have helped these patients to maintain healthy and save lives. Several cases of direct percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy have been reported in patients who received gastric resection for a stomach cancer or peptic ulcer hemorrhage. A 65-year-old male patient, who was suffering from dysphagia, whose symptom was caused by left middle cerebral infarction. He was referred to the division of gastroenterology for the provision of permanent enteral feeding. His esophagus had been resected and replaced with a part of colon because of laryngeal cancer 5 years ago. We could not approach the stomach because the angle of anastomosis was acute and the colonic graft was long. We performed direct percutaneous endoscopic colostomy without any complications. Herein, we report on this successful case.

주수종,전홍대,김명희 圓光大學校 1996 論文集 Vol.32 No.2

본 논문은 실시간 시스템에서 주기 및 비주기적 태스크들의 마감시간 만족을 위한 캐쉬 메모리의 최적 분할 형태를 얻음으로써 태스크들에 대한 메모리 가용성을 늘릴 뿐 아니라 유휴 메모리 사용공간을 다른 태스크들에게 충분히 할당하여 마감시간 위반율을 줄이는데 목적을 둔다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 실시간 태스크들을 캐쉬 메모리의 분할 공간상에 최적으로 할당될 수 있도록 하기 위해 캐쉬 메모리 분할 알고리즘을 제시한다. 연구의 결과를 도출하는 과정으로 실시간 태스크들이 할당될 수 있는 다양한 캐쉬 메모리의 분할 형태들과 이들에 대한 태스크의 최소 가용 비용들을 얻는다. 이를 기반으로하여 실시간 태스크들에게 각각 주어진 마감시간 이내에서 실행을 할 수 있는지를 Rate Monotonic 스케쥴링 알고리즘을 응용하여 스케쥴링 가능한 캐쉬 메모리 분할 형태들을 모두 얻고, 이들로부터 스케쥴링 가능한 가용비용의 한계범위와 최소의 가용비용을 갖는 캐쉬 메모리 최적 분할형태를 보였다. This paper presents a study on the cache(memory) partitioning configurations for meeting deadlines of periodic and aperiodic task set. The purpose of this study is not only to increase the cache utilization, but also to decrease the deadline missing ratio of each task. We discuss the optimal cache partitioning problems for real-time task set. Base on the task execution time and utilization, we suggest the cache partitioning algorithm which computes the segment allocation for a given task set, respectively. The schedulability of task set depends upon task properties and the algorithm used to schedule the tasks. Here, we used the rate monotonic scheduling algorithm modified for considering all periodic tasks and aperiodic tasks together. We checked whether tasks assigned on the configurations are possible to meet the their deadlines or not. We obtained the schedulable configurations, and analyzed the utilization bound of the cache optimal partitioning configuration which the task set is schedulable if its utilization is below a certain bound.

신홍규,김남수,김웅겸,홍남표,김병희,김헌영 江原大學校 産業技術硏究所 2004 産業技術硏究 Vol.24 No.A

In the study, we have developed a straightening system for the SUS 304 micro wires that are normally used in the medical and semi-conductor fields. To apply heat to the micro wires, we introduced the direct wire heating method which generates the thermal energy by the electrical resistance of the wire itself. To avoid the deterioration of the wire surface by the environment, such as the oxidation or the hydration, the N_(2) gas was filled in the glass pipe in which the straightening process was being performed. A precision tension meter was also attached to control the tension of the wire during the heating and straightening process. In order to control the straightening process, several experimental investigations with varying the tension, the feeding velocity and the temperature (current) was carried out. As a result of experiments, we obtained the optimal processing conditions satisfying the straightness requirement of the micro wires.

최수미,박선희,이동건,최정현,유진홍,민우성,신완식,김춘추 대한감염학회 2005 감염과 화학요법 Vol.37 No.5

목적 : 본 연구에서는 국내 혈액질환 환자들에서 일차 항진균제를 부작용으로 인해 투여할 수 없거나, 일차 항진균제에 반응이 없는 침습성 진균 감염증의 구제치료로서 caspofungin의 효과와 이상반응에 대한 임상 경험을 소개하고, 예후인자를 분석해 보았다. 재료 및 방법 : Caspofungin은 첫날 70 mg, 이틀째 부터 50 mg을 하루 일회 투여하였고, caspofungin 종료시 그리고 종료 4주 후 반응을 평가하였다. 결과 : 총 55명의 환자가 분석에 포함되었고, 남자 32명, 여자 23명, 평균 나이는 38.2세(16-65세)였다. 기저 질환은 급성 백혈병 33명, 골수이형성 증후군 12명, 만성 백혈병 3명, 기타 7명이었다. 진균 감염은 확진 1명, 가능 5명, 추정 47명, 불확실 2명이었고, 감염 장소는 폐를 침범한 경우가 49명, 파종감염 6명이었다. 전체적으로 41.8% 환자에서 양호한 반응을 보였으며, 치료군, 치료후 기저질환의 상태, 침습성 진균 감염 진단시 호중구 감소증 여부, 스테로이드 등 면역억제제 사용 여부가 유의한 예후인자였다. 약제관련 이상반응은 14.5%에서 관찰되었고, 발열, 피부 발진, 간기능 저하 등으로 나타났다. 이중 4명에서 이상반응과 관련하여 투약을 중지하였고, 약제 중단 후 증상은 모두 호전되었다. Caspofungin 관련 신독성은 관찰되지 않았다. 결론 : Caspofungin은 국내 혈액질환 환자에서 침습성 진균 감염증의 구제치료에 효과적으로 안전하게 사용될 수 있겠다. 최근 여러 항진균제들이 개발되어 임상에 도입되고 있는 바, 항진균 작용 범위, 독성, 약역동학적 특성, 비용-효과면 등을 고려하여 환자별로 직절한 항진균제를 선택하도록 해야 할 것이다. Background : Invasive fungal infection (IFI) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematologic malignancy. Patients with IFI who fail to standard therapy have poor prognoses. We investigated the efficacy and safety of caspofungin (CAS) in Korean adults with hematologic diseases and IFI who did not respond to the conventional antifungal therapy. Materials and Methods : Patients with IFI refractory or intolerant to standard antifungal therapy received CAS 50 mg IV daily after 70 mg loading dose on day 1. Efficacy and safety of CAS were assessed in patients who received more than one dose. Favorable response [complete (CR) or partial (PR)] was defined as significant improvement of all clinical symptoms, signs, and radiologic abnormalities. Results : From Feb. 2004 to Feb. 2005, 55 patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled. There were 32 male and 23 female patients with mean age of 38.2 years (range, 16-65). Underlying diseases were acute leukemia (33 cases), myelodysplastic syndrome (12 cases), chronic myelogenous leukemia (3 cases), and other hematologic diseases (7 cases). Thirty-six patients were receiving chemotherapy and 13 patients were under hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The number of proven, probable, possible, and indeterminate IFI cases was 1, 5, 47, and 2, respectively. Conventional amphotericin B, intravenous itraconazole, and liposomal amphotericin B were administered for average of 14.9 days prior to administering CAS. Mean duration of CAS therapy was 12.8 days (range, 1-45). Twenty-three patients (41.8%) showed favorable responses (CR : PR=8 : 15) at the end of CAS therapy. Chemotherapy group, neutropenic state, remitted state of underlying disease, and no steroid therapy were significant prognostic factors for favorable response. Eight (14.5%) patients developed drug-related adverse events such as fever, skin eruption, and hepatic dysfunction which were reversible after discontinuation of CAS. Drug-related nephrotoxicity was not observed. Conclusion : On the basis of our investigation, CAS was effective and safe as a salvage therapy of refractory IFI or as an alternative for patients intolerant to standard antifungal agents.

조혈모세포이식 환자에서 발생한 Cytomegalovirus 질환의 특징 : 일개 대학변원에서 최근 10년간의 경험

최수미,이동건,박선희,김시현,김유진,민창기,김희제,이석,최정현,유진홍,김동욱,이종욱,민우성,신완식,김춘추 대한감염학회 2009 감염과 화학요법 Vol.41 No.1

Background : Studies on cytomegalovirus (CMV) diseases in Korean hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients are lacking and do not reflect the recent trends of advances and changes. Therefore, we tried to analyze the clinical features of CMV diseases in HSCT recipients over the past 10 years at a tertiary university hospital in Korea. Methods : Retrospective review of medical records was done for all adult HSCT patients who received transplant at the Catholic HSCT Center from January 1998 to January 2008. Results : Forty-four cases (2.2%) of CMV diseases were identified. CMV pneumonia was diagnosed in 17 patients, retinitis in 16 patients, enterocolitis in 7 patients, esophagitis 1 patient, gastritis in 1 patient, duodenitis in 1 patient, and hepatitis in 1 patient. The median onset of symptom was 90 days after transplantation. Late CMV diseases accounted for 47.7%. CMV related death varied from 0 to 58.8% according to the involved organ. CMV retinitis was diagnosed relatively later in the course of transplantation mostly in patients who had chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD). On the contrary, CMV enterocolitis mainly occurred in patients who suffered from acute GVHD. The overall concurrent CMV reactivation was documented to be 63.6%: the concurrent CMV reactivation was observed only in 37.5% of patients with retinitis. Conclusions : We observed some differences in the pattern of CMV disease manifestation according to the involved organ and reconfirmed the fact that CMV pneumonia is the most common and fatal disease in HSCT recipients. Additionally, CMV retinitis was not uncommon in HSCT recipients. Since specific marker does not exist in predicting retinitis, regular ocular examination should be done thoroughly, especially in patients with chronic GVHD.

조혈모세포이식 환자에서 침습성 진균 감염에 대한 이트라코나졸 액과 플루코나졸 시럽의 예방 효과 : 전향적, 무작위, 비교 임상시험

최수미,이동건,최정현,박선희,엄기성,김유진,김희제,민창기,유진홍,김동욱,이종욱,민우성,신완식,김춘추 대한감염학회 2005 감염과 화학요법 Vol.37 No.2

목적 : 조혈모세포이식 환자에서 호중구 감소 기간 동안 이트라코나졸 액(ITZS)과 플루코나졸 시럽(FCZS)의 진균 감염에 대한 예방 효과를 전향적으로 비교해 보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 2001년 8월부터 2002년 6월까지 가톨릭 조혈모세포이식센터에 입원하여 동종 조혈모세포이식을 받은 만 18세 이상의 환자들을 각각 ITZS와 FCZS군으로 무작위 배정하여 침습성 진균 감염 발생과 약제 관련 부작용을 전향적으로 조사하였다. 결과 : ITZS군에 40명, FCZS군에 38명이 배정되었고, FCZS군 환자의 평균 나이가 더 많았다. 시험 약제 평균투여기간은 ITZS군 16.4일, FCZS군 21.9일로 ITZS군이 더 짧았다. 이는 ITZS군에서 소화기 부작용으로 인한 약제 중단이 더 많았기 때문으로 보인다. 시험 약제 투여 후 총 빌리루빈 수치의 유의한 증가가 관찰되었으나, 약제 관련 부작용은 모든 환자에서 가역적이었다. 호중구감소 기간동안 표재성 진균 감염은 두 군에서 모두 발생하지 않았고, 침습성 진균 감염은 ITZS군 5명(12.5%), FCZS군 8명(21.1%)으로 FCZS군에서 많았으나, 통계학적으로 유의하지 않았고, 사망률에도 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결론 : 침습성 진균 감염에 대한 이트라코나졸 액과플루코라졸 시럽의 예방 효과에 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 앞으로 더 많은 환자를 대상으로 잘 짝지어진 대조군 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다. 부작용 중 간독성과 관련하여 이식시 투여되는 여러 약제들과의 상호작용에 대한 연구도 필요할 것이다. Background : Though fluconazole is widely used for antifungal prophylaxis, it is ineffective against mould infections including Aspergillus species. Itraconazole has a broader spectrum than fluconazole but the capsule form shows erratic bioavailability in neutropenic patients. In this study, we compared itraconazole oral solution (ITZS) with fluconazole syrup (FCZS) for the prevention of invasive fungal infection (IFI) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Materials and Methods : Adults receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from september 2001 to June 2002, were randomly allocated to either the ITZS group or the FCZS group. We prospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of each drug. Results : Out of 78 patients (40 patients in the ITZS group and 38 patients in the FCZS group) who were eligible for this study, 37 patients completed the course of prophylaxis without any evidence of IFI. The mean duration of prophylaxis was 16.4 days for the ITZS group and 21.9 days for the FCZS group (P<0.006). Drug-related adverse events occurred in 28 patients (70.0%) and 19 patients (50.0%) in the ITZS group and the FCZS group, respectively. Common adverse events of ITZS were nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Drug-related reversible hepatotoxicity occurred in 4 patients in the ITZS group. There was a significant elevation of total bilirubin level in the ITZS group. The incidence of suspected IFI occurred in 5 patients (12.5%) who received ITZS, compared with 8 (21.1%) who received FCZS (P=0.372). There were no proven IFIs or superficial (oral/vaginal) fungal infections in both groups. Overall mortality was not different between the two groups (2.5% in the ITZS group versus 5.3% in the FCZS group, P=0.610). Conclusion : ITZS and FCZS showed similar protection against IFI during pre-engraftment period. Poor tolerability due to gastrointestinal troubles of ITZS might limit its success as prophylactic therapy. Well matched controlled study with large number of patients will be required in the future.
