Objective : The purpose of this study was 1) to analyze clinically-executed cervical lateral mass screw fixation by the Kim's technique as suggested in the previous morphometric and cadaveric study and 2) to examine various complications and bicortical purchase that are important for b-one fusion. Methods : A retrospective study was done on the charts, operative records, radiographs, and clinical follow up of thirty-nine patients. One hundred and seventy-eight lateral mass screws were analyzed. The spinal nerve injury, violation of the facet joint, vertebral artery injury, and the bicortical purchases were examined at each lateral mass. Results : All thirty-nine patients received instrumentations with poly axial screws and rod systems, in which one hundred and seventy-eight screws in total. No vertebral artery injury or nerve root injury were observed. Sixteen facet joint violations were observed (9.0%). Bicortical purchases were achieved on one hundred and fifty-six (87.6%). Bone fusion was achieved in all patients. Conclusion : The advantages of the Kim's technique are that it is performed by using given anatomical structures and that the complication rate is as low as those of other known techniques. The Kim's technique can be performed easily and safely without fluoroscopic assistance for the treatment of many cervical diseases.

<P>Oxidative stress is one of the most important factors in reducing adult hippocampal neurogenesis in the adult brain. In this study, we observed the effects of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) on lipid peroxidation, cell proliferation, and neuroblast differentiation in the mouse dentate gyrus using malondialdehyde (MDA), Ki67, and doublecortin (DCX), respectively. We constructed an expression vector, PEP-1, fused PEP-1 with SOD1, and generated PEP-1-SOD1 fusion protein. We administered PEP-1 and 100 or 500 관g PEP-1-SOD1 intraperitoneally once a day for 3 weeks and sacrificed at 30 min after the last administrations. PEP-1 administration did not change the MDA levels compared to those in the vehicle-treated group, while PEP-1-SOD1 treatment significantly reduced MDA levels compared to the vehicle-treated group. In the PEP-1-treated group, the number of Ki67-positive nuclei was similar to that in the vehicle-treated group. In the 100 관g PEP-1-SOD1-treated group, the number of Ki67-positive nuclei was slightly decreased; however, in the 500 관g PEP-1-SOD1-treated group, Ki67-positive nuclei were decreased to 78.5% of the vehicle-treated group. The number of DCX-positive neuroblasts in the PEP-1-treated group was similar to that in the vehicle-treated group. However, the arborization of DCX-positive neuroblasts was significantly decreased in both the 100 and 500 관g PEP-1-SOD1-treated groups compared to that in the vehicle-treated group. The number of DCX-positive neuroblasts with tertiary dendrites was markedly decreased in the 500 관g PEP-1-SOD1-treated group. These results suggest that a SOD1 supplement to healthy mice may not be necessary to modulate cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the dentate gyrus.</P>

직업적 노출에 의한 스티븐스-존슨 증후군에서 트리클로로에틸렌의 노출수준 : 3예의 사례와 문헌고찰을 중심으로

배경: TCE는 심각한 전산적 피부염과 관련 있는 것으로 몇몇 사례들을 통해서 보고되어 왔으나,기존의 사례 보고들에서 노출평가가 수행된 사례는 드물었고 추정되는 노출량 역시 매우 다양하였다. 본 연구에서는 TCE 노출에 의한 것으로 판단되는 스티븐스-존슨 증후군 3예를 확인하고 각 사례들에 대한 작업재연을 통해 노출수준을 추정하였으며,이를 통해 TCE의 직업적 노출수준과 스티븐스-존슨 증후군을 포함하는 전신적 박탈성 피부염 발생의 관계를 이해하고자 하였다. 증례: 사례 1은 24세 필리핀인 여자로 TCE를 이용한 탈지작업을 시작한 35일 후 발진을 포함한 피부증상이 발생하였고 증상이 진행되면서 간기능 이상이 발견되었다. 환자는 스티븐스 존슨 증후군과 독성간염으로 진단되었고 증상발생 39일 간부전으로 사망하였다. 증상발생 전 약물 복용력은 없었고 바이러스 감염 등의 비직업적 원인은 찾을 수 없었으며,작업재연을 통한 TCE의 개인 노출수준 은 TWA 21.9 ppm과 32.3 ppm이었다. 사례 2는 47세 한국인 남자로 TCE를 이용한 탈지 작업을 시작한 20일 후 발진을 포함한 피부증상이 발생하였고 증상이 진행되면서 간기능 이상이 발견되었다. 환자는 중독성 표피괴사증 또는 스티븐스 -존슨 증후군, 전격성간염 및 동반된 패혈증으로 진단되었고 증상발생 42일 간부전 및 패혈증으로 사망하였다. 증상발생 전 약물복용력은 없었고 바이러스 감염 등의 비직업적 원인은 찾을 수 없었으며,작업재연을 통한 TCE의 개인 노출수준은 TWA 30.1 ppm이었으며 세척조 주위의 지역시료는 TWA 116.5 ppm∼229. 7 ppm 이었다. 사례 3은 22세 베트남인 여자로 TCE를 이용한 탐지작업을 시작한 30일 후 발전을 포함한 피부증상이 발생하였고 증상이 진행되면서 간기능 이상이 발견되었다. 환자는 스티븐스-존슨 증후군 및 동반된 독성간염으로 진단되었고 증상발생 37일 증세 호전되어 퇴원하였다. 증상발생전 약물복용력은 없었고 바이러스 감염 등의 비직업적 원인은 찾을 수 없었으며,작업재연을 통한 TCE의 개인 노출수준은 TWA 107.2 ppm이었다. 고찰: TCE에 노출된 일부의 사람들에서 노출 후 2주에서 5주 사이에 심각한 급성 간염이 동반되는 스티븐스­존슨 증후군이 발생할 수 있음을 확인 하였고,이번의 연구결과와 기존의 연구를 종합 할 때 TCE에 대한 감수성이 있는 사람의 상당수는 노출기준 이상의 고 노출에 노 출 후 스티븐스- 존슨 증후군이 발생함을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서. TCE에 대한 고 노출을 막기 위해 TCE 세척작업에 대한 작업환경 확인과 개선이 우선적으로 필요하며,동시에 노출 후 증상발생기간의 일관성과 노출기준 이하의 저 노출에서의 감작 가능성을 배제할 수 없음을 고려하여,작업시작 후 1개월경의 특수건강검진 역시 고려되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. Back ground: Trichloroethylene (TCE) has been reported to be related to severe generalized exfoliative dermatitis frequently accompanied by toxic hepatitis. The measurements of environmental exposure were limited in the previous case reports and the reported exposure values were also diverse. We reviewed three cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome associated with TCE. The work environment was measured by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) after the cases occurred. From the study results, we intended to clarify the relationship between TCE exposure level and Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Case report: Case 1. A 24-year-o1d Filipino female worker developed a skin rash 35 days after starting to use TCE for degreasing. The skin rash developed into a bullous eruption and the liver function findings were abnormal. She was diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic hepatitis. She died of hepatic failure 39 days after the onset of the first symptom. She had no previous history of taking medicine or viral infection. The work environment measured 22.0 to 32.3 ppm (Personal exposure level) with TWA. Case 2. A 47-year-o1d Korean male worker developed a skin rash, 20 days after starting to use TCE for degreasing. The skin rash developed into a bullous eruption and the liver function findings were abnormal. He was diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic hepatitis and sepsis. He died of hepatic failure and sepsis 42 days after the onset ofthe first symptom. He had no previous history of taking medicine or viral infection. The work environment measured 30.1 ppm (Personal exposure level) and 116.5∼229.7 ppm (area exposure level close to the degreasing rnachine) with TWA. Case 3. A 22-year-old Vietnamese female worker developed a skin rash 30 days after starting to use TCE for degreasing. The skin rash developed into a bullous eruption and the liver function findings were abnormal. She was diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic hepatitis. Her symptoms improved and she was discharged 37 days after the onset of the first symptom. She had no previous history of taking medicine or viral infection. The work environment measured 107.2 ppm (Personal exposure level) with TWA. Discussion: These three case reports and the previously reported cases indicated that the majority of people susceptible to TCE develops Stevens-Johnson syndrome after high-level TCE exposure (above the TWA occupational exposure limit of 50 ppm). Therefore, work environmental survey and improvements to the TCE degreasing process are essential to prevent high exposure. Furthermore, considering the consistency of the latency period in symptoms and the possibility of sensitization in low-level exposure, we recommend that the first specific health examination also should be conducted 1 month after workers have commenced working.

We report on the room temperature optical characterization of semi-insulating GaAs. The energy gap of semi-insulating GaAs was determined to be 1.41eV by photoreflectance(PR)and possible orgin of the photoreflectance signal is discussed. From photoreflectance(PC)measurement, the peak of PC is observed at 1.40 eV, corresponding to GaAs band to band transition. The influence of temperature and dependent upon the chopper frequency on the PC of semi-insulating GaAs is studied.

The Pusan Container Terminal faces a rapid increase in berthing time of container ships as well as in waiting time of external trucks, which is due to an absolute lack of yard space. This research is focused on the development of a decision support system for the planning of the container terminal yard assignment so that the yard space would be utilized most effectively. Efforts should be given to the reasonable assignment of the yard storage and the dynamic adaptation to the ever changing environment. The software introduced here is based o the know-how of the field exports and its framework takes the approach of the hierarchical decision making.

The microsensors to detect NH3 gas were fabricated by continous deposition of In film by evaporation and ZnO film by rf magnetron sputtering onto the Si3N4 diaphragm that was prepared by MEMS technology. The sensors were heat-treated to dope In into the ZnO thin film. The electrical characteristics of sensitive films were studied as a function of heat-temperature by 4-point probing method and electrometer. The dependence of the sensitivity, selectivity and time response of sensor on heat-treatment temperature was investigated. The microsensor heat-treated at 400℃ that 3000 A ZnO:In film was chosen as gas sensitive film, showed the highest sensitivity 23% at 350ppm NH3 under 366mW heater power. The time response was 90sec. The sensitivity for CO and NOx was not observed.

Moyamoya disease is an occlusive intracranial arteriopathy with an abnormal cerebral vascular collateral networks. Although this disease is known to be associated with stenosis of extracranial arteries, such as the renal artery, a case associated with stenosis of the coronary artery is extremely rare. We report a case of coronary artery occlusive disease affected by Moyamoya disease. The patient was a 38-year-old female experiencing intermittent headache and exer tional chest pain. Cerebral MRI showed complete obstruction of both internal carotid arteries and abnormal cerebrovascular systems which confirmed Moyamoya disease. Coronary angiography showed a significant stenosis of left anterior descending coronary artery ostium with TIMI grade I collateral blood flow from the normal right coronary artery. After coronary artery stenting and medical treatment for headache, her subjective symptoms were relieved. In Moyamoya patient, an evaluation of the extracranial (especially coronary artery) vascular system should be considered if there are some evidences of coronary artery disease.

It this study, basic data were obtained for the treatment of industrial waste water which includes aromatic compounds. Substrate concentrations used were 100ppm, 500ppm, and 1,000pprn and initial pH's were pH6, pH7, and pH8 in order to obtain the optimum conditions for treating benzoate, m-toluate, and phenol by Pseudomonas putida(KCTC 1644). Durations were 20hrs for 100ppm, 40hrs for 500ppm, and 60hrs for 1,000ppm before the static growth of Pseudomonas putida. 100% of 100ppm benzoate(0.31g cell/1) was biodegraded at pH6, pH7, and pH8 before 20hrs, 52.8% of 500ppm at pH8 in 40hrs, and 27.9% of 1,000ppm at pH8 in 60hrs. The best initial pH was pH8 for the biodegradation and the growth of Pseudomonas putida in benzoate medium. For m-toluate, the best initial pH was also pH8. At this pH, 40.6% of 10Dppm(0.31 cell/1), 21.9% of 500ppm, and 14.1% of 1,000ppm m-toluate were biodegraded respectively in limited time. But for phenol, the best initial pH was pH7. At this point, 9.8% of 100ppm(0.218 cell/1), 7.1% of 500ppm, and 4.7% of 1,000ppm phenol were biodegraded respectively. Therefore, the best carbon source in this experiment was benzoate. Pseudomonas putida was also able to biodegrade m-cresol, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and benzaldehyde.
