목적 : TDI는 직업성천식을 일으키는 대표적인 물질로 알려져 있다. 과거 TDI에 노출된 작업자들의 천식 발생률을 5~6%가량 보고하였고, 국내에서도 2-20%에 이르는 유병율을 보고한바 있다. 작업환경이 많이 개선되고, 노출량이 감소된 최근에도 TDI에 의한 직업성천식에 대한 보고가 많이 이루어지고 있어, 이에 대한 적극적인 조사와 진단과정을 통해 유병율을 구하고 질병발생의 변화양상을 파악해 보고자 하였다. 방법 : 인천지역에서 특수건강진단을 수행하는 2개 기관의 TDI 노출 근로자 400여명 중, 사업장의 규모가 50인 이상이며 사업주가 연구진행을 허락한 사업장에서 근무하는 근로자 중 직접적으로 TDI에 노출되는 작업에 종사하는 근로자 170명을 연구대상으로 하였다. 이들에 대해 설문지와 산업의학의사의 면담을 통한 작업관련성 평가를 근거로 정밀대상자를 선정하고 이들에 대해 메타콜린 유발시험, TDI 유발시험 등을 수행하여 직업성천식을 확인하였다. 결과 : 설문조사 결과 11명이 직업과 관련하여 천식증상을 보이는 것으로 나타났고(6.9%), 이중 7명에서 메타콜린 유발검사 양성소견을 보였다. TDI에 의한 특이유발시험 결과 1명에서 양성반응이 나타나, 이 집단에서 TDI에 의한 직업성천식의 유병율은 0.58%였다. 결론 : 과거 국내연구에서 TDI에 의한 직업성천식의 유병율이 2~20%에 이르렀던 데 비해, 본 연구에서는 0.58%로 나타났다. 이는 국외 논문에서도 나타나는 경향으로 작업장 노출량 감소로 점차 발생률이 감소하는 양상을 보이고 있다. 그러나 이미 증상이 나타난 근로자들이 부서를 옮기거나, 직장을 그만둠으로 인해 그 유병율이 과소평가되었을 가능성도 있다고 판단된다. Objecdives: This study was carried out to estimate the prevalence of isocyanate-induced occupational asthma in toluene diisocyanate (TDI) exposed workers. Methods: We examined 170 workers who had been directly exposed to TDI through a medical questionnaire, physical examination, and pulmonary function test. Based on screening examination, workers with suspected occupational asthma were selected for further evaluation such as methacholine and TDI challenge tests. Results: Eleven (6.9%) among 170 workers complained of symptoms of occupational asthma. and 7 among these 11 symptomatic workers showed positive responses to the methacholine challenge test (4.1 %). One spray painter was confirmed as having the TDI induced occupational asthma following a positive response to TDI challenge test. Conclusions: The prevalence of TDI-induced asthma was at 0.58% was lower than that for former studies (2-20%). Improved workplace environment, lower level of TDI exposure compared to the past, and the healthy workers effect may have contributed to this low rate of asthma prevalence in workers with TDI exposure.

Background : For cultivation of varieties of ginseng, the pure line selection method, which is to select the best among those cultivated in farms for pedigree breeding, replicated yield trials and regional adaptation trials before registering as a new variety, is widely used. Although there are 25 registered varieties of ginseng in Korea, the quality of ginseng is declining together with the amount of harvest being decreased by 15 - 20% due to the heat injuries and diseases from the warming & abnormal climate. Thus, the needs for development of disaster-resistant varieties with better chances of surviving through high temperature, salts and disease are increasing. Therefore, this study is to cultivate disaster-resistant varieties among those selected for their disaster tolerance and salt tolerance through regional adaptation trials. Methods and Results : As a result of examining the growth characteristics of the selected 2 - 5 year old varieties used in the study, among the 5-year old crops, Goryeo 4 and Eumseong 5 showed superior growth in both above and below aerial parts, and among the 4-year old crops, Eumseong 11 and Cheonryang showed superior growth while the growth in the below aerial parts were satisfactory in the order of Cheonryang > Eumseong 10 > Eumseong 11 > Eumseong 9. Among the 3-year old crops, the most superior growth in both above and below aerial parts was observed in Eumseong 14 with the weight of the below aerial part, root diameter and taproot length at 13.8 g, 11.8 ㎝ and 6.2 ㎝ respectively. Among the 2-year old crops, Eumseong 10 showed the most superior growth in both above and below aerial parts. Conclusion : Based on the above results, Goryeo 4 and Eumseong 5 among the 5-year old crops, Eumseong 11 among the 4-year old crops, Eumseong 14 among the 3-year old crops and Eumseon 10 among the 2-year old crops showed the most superior growth among the selected varieties. The growth characteristics of both above and below aerial parts in each year will continuously be monitored.

Graves 병과 혈청 면역글로불린-E의 연관성

김현영,박기룡,김성훈,김지연,송수근,최영식,박요한 대한내분비학회 2002 Endocrinology and metabolism Vol.17 No.5

연구배경: Graves 병은 미만성 갑상선종, 갑상선기능한진, 안구침법 등을 특징으로 하는 자가면역성 질환으로, 갑상선자극호르몬 수용체에 대한 자가항체(TRAb)가 갑상선을 자극하여 발생된다. TRAb는 Graves병 환자의 약 85%이상에서 검출되며 활성화된 TRAb는 대부분 IgE로 알려져 있다. 그러나 최근 Graves병 환자의 갑상선조직과 안구조직에 IgE의 침착과 꽃가루 등에 의한 알레르기성 비염으로 인해 Graves병이 발생하거나 재발된 견우가 보고되어 Graves병의 병인에 IgE의 연관성이 제기 되고 있으나, 국내에서는 이에 대한 연구가 드물다. 본 연구에서는 Graves병에서의 혈청 IgE농도와 Graves병의 병기와의 관계 및 TRAb와 IgE 농도와의 연관성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2000년 4월 1일부터 7월 1일까지 고신의료원 내분비내과를 방문한 환자 중 Graves병 46예, 만성갑상선염 6예 및 고신의료원 건강증진센터를 방문한 환자 중 갑상선질환의 병력이나 가족력 및 알레르기성 비염의 병력이 없는 35예의 정상대조군을 대상으로 연구를 시행하였다. TRAb는 갑상선자극호르몬 결합 억제 면역글로불린(TBII)으로 측정하였으며, IgE는 효소면역분석법으로 측정하였다. 결과: IgG인 TBII는 Graves병에서 만성갑상선염과 대조군에 비해 높았으며, IgE 평균농도는 Graves병에서 598.1±1112.9U/mL로 만성갑상선염 환자의 98350±79.7U/mL, 대조군 161.72±194.4U/mL에 비해 높았다(p<0.05). Graves병에서 알레르기성 비염의 발병율은 10.9%(5/46)였으며, Graves 병에서의 혈청 IgE 농도는 알레르기성 비염의 병력이 있는 경우 903.1±1152.2U/mL로 없는 경우 560.8±1117.0U/mL보다 높은 경향을 보였다. Graves병의 병기에 따른 TBII와 IgE 농도의 변화를 항갑상선제로 치료하지 않은 군(비치료군)과 치료한 군(치료군) 및 재발군으로 나누어 비교하였을 때, TBII는 치료군(7.4±18.6%)에 비해 비치료군(49.9±23.9%)과 재발군(21.1±3.1%)에서 높았으며(p<0.05), 혈청 IgE치도 치료군(233.8±432.7U/mL)에 비해 비치료군(758.6±1250.0U/mL)과 재발군(1198.5±1952.1U/mL)에서 높은 경향을 보였다. 항갑상선제로 치료한 치료기간에 따른 TBII와 IgE 농도 변화에서, TBII는 비치료군(49.9±23.9%)과 1년 미만 치료군(24.8±3.8%)에서 1년 이상 치료군(2.22±1.97%)에 비해 높았으며(p<0.05), 혈청 IgE 농도는 비치료군(758.6±1250.2U/mL)에서 1년 미만 치료한 군(158.3±91.5U/mL)과 1년 이상 치료군(252.7±483.4U/mL)에 비해 높았으나 유의하지는 않았다. 결론: Graves 병에서 IgE 농도는 증가되어 있었으며, Graves 병의 각각 다른 병기에서의 혈청 IgE 농도의 변화는 Graves qudd의 경과에 영향을 미치는 IgG인 TBII치의 변화와 유사한 경향을 보였다. 그러나 혈청 IgE와 Graves 병과의 연관성을 알아보기 위해서 IgE와 더불어 CD23항원 등의 다른 검사도 병행하는 전향적 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. Background: It is widely believed that Graves' disease is and autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of the circulation TSH receptor antibody (TRAb). The majority of the activity of TRAb is of the immunoglobulin G(IgG) class. However, other immunoglobulin such as immunoglobulin E(IgE), may play a rloe in the activity. IgE accumulation has been reported to occur in the thyroid gland and ocular muscles of subjects with Graves' disease. Furthermore, it has been noted that recurrence of Graves' disease can be induced by and allergy to pollen. Because an allergy to pollen is commonly associated with IgE, IgE might play a role in the induction of Graves' disease. Therefore, investigated whether IgE was elevated in Graves' disease, and evaluated the potential relationship between the levels of TRAb and IgE Graves' disease. Methods: Forty-six patients with Graves' disease, and 6 with chronic thyroiditis, diagnosed at the Kosin Medical Center between April, 2000 and July, 2000 were included in this study. Thirty-five persons without thyroid disease or a history of allergic rhinitis were used as normal controls. The level or TRAb was measured using thyrotropin binding inhibitory immunoglobulin (TBII). Serum total IgE was measured using as enzymeimmunoassay method. Test for thyroid function, TBII and total IgE were performed in all cases, and the results statistically analyzed. Results: TBII, as IgG, and the serum IgE level were higher in the patients with Graves' disease, and the levels of the latter were 598.1±1112.9U/mL, 98.5±79.7U/mL and controls 161.7±194.4U/mL in the Graves' patients, those with thyroiditis and the controls, respectively (p<0.05). The prevalence of allergic rhinitis in Graves' disease was 10.9%. The serum IgE level in Graves' disease with, and without, allergic rhinitis were 903.1±1152.2U/mL and 560.8±1117.0U/mL, respectively, although there was no significancant difference between the two groups. According to the clinical stage, the serum TBII level was higher in the untreated Graves', and relapsed patients 49.9±23.9% and 21.1±3.1%, respectively, than in the treated group, 7.4±18.6% (p<0.05). The serum IgE level was higher in the untreated Graves' and relapsed patients 758.6±1250.2U/mL and 1198.5±1952.1U/mL, respectively, than in the treated group 233.8±432.7U/mL, although this was not significant. According to the duration of treatment, the serum TBII levels were higher in the untreated Graves' patients, and those treated for less than 1 year, than in those treated for more than 1 year, with values of 49.9±23.9, 24.8±3.8 and 2.22±1.97%, respectively (p<.05). The serum IgE level was higher in the untreated Graves' disease (758.6±1250.2U/mL) than in the groups treated for less than 12 months (158.3±91.5U/mL) and more than 12 months (252.7±483.4U/mL), but the differences were not significant. Conclusions: The concentration of IgE was high in Graves' patients, and although not statistically significant, the serum igE level in Graves' patients with allergic rhinitis was higher than those without. With regard to the clinical stage of Grave's disease, the change in the IgE level tended to follow that of the TBII. Further study will be required to define the possible role of IgE in the pathogenesis in Graves' disease (J Kor Soc Endocrinol 17:640∼648, 2002).

난소화성 덱스트린이 흰쥐의 단백질과 지방이용률에 미치는 영향

김지현,왕수경 대전대학교 기초과학연구소 1995 自然科學 Vol.6 No.-

식이 중 난소화성 덱스트린이 휜 흰 쥐의 단백질과 지방의 이용율에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 Sprague-Dawely계 (평균체중 109g) 흰 쥐를 3군으로 나누어 control군으로 무섬유소군(NC), 섬유소간의 비교를 위해 5% pectin군(NP), 5% 난소화성 덱스트린군(ND)으로6주간 사육하였다. 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 실험기간중 식이 섭취량은 ND군이 다른 군보다 높은 경향을 보였으나 체중증가량과 식이효율은 ND, NP군이 NC군보다 낮았다 (p<0.05). 간, 비장, 신장의 무게는 각 군간에 유의적 차는 없었다. 그러나 부고한 지방은 NP군과 ND군이 낮은 경향을 보였다. 단백질 섭취량은 NP군이 높았고, 뇨중 단백질 배설량은 ND군이 높았으며, 변중 단백질 배설량은, NP, ND군이 NC군보다 낮게 나타나 결과적으로 단백질 흡수율, 보유율은 실험군간 유의적 차를 보이지 않았다. 변 중 지방 배설량은 NP군이 높았고 ND군도 NC군보다 높은 경향을 보였다. 지방의 흡수율은 NP군이NC군보다 유의적으로 (P<0.05) 적었고, ND군도 NC군보다 적은 경향을 보였다. 따라서 난소화성 덱스트린은 식이효율이 낮아 체중 감소 효과를 나타냈으며, 이는 단백질 이용율의 감소보다는 지방이용율의 감소의 결과로 나타난 것으로 보인다. 앞으로 당 대사와의 관계와 병행해서 연구되어야 할 것으로 사료된다. This study investigated the effect of indigestible dextrin on bioavailabilities of protein and lipid. Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing 108g were blocked into three groups; control diet (NC), control + 5% pectin (NP), control + 5% indigestible dextrin (ND). Experimental rats were fed ad libitum each of experimental diets for six weeks. The results are summarized as follows. 1) food intake was generally higher in ND group than in other groups and weight gain and food efficiency ratio were significantly lower in ND, NP groups than in NC group(p<0.05). 2) Weight of liver, kidney and spleen were lower in ND group than in other groups, epididymal fat pads was lower in ND and NP groups than in NC group. 3) Protein bioavailabilities was not significantly different in three dietary groups. 4) Fat bioavailabilities was significantly lower in NP group than in NC group(p<.05) and tended to be lower in ND group than in NC group. Accordingly, weight reduction shown in ND group seems to be resulted from the decreased fat bioavailabilities.

다차원 인덱싱 방식을 이용한 이미지 내용기반 검색 기법

김지현 瑞逸大學 1999 論文集 Vol.17 No.-

이미지를 위한 내용기반 검색 기법으로 다차원 인덱싱 방식을 제안하였다. 이미지 특징 추출 방법으로는 색상, 질감, 모양등이 있는데, 이미지를 구성하고 표현하는 요소로서 단일 색상(회색 레벨 이미지)과 밝기 함수만을 가정하였다. 또한 이미지 표현을 위한 패턴 인식중 2차원 모양 매칭 기법으로서 단순한 탬플릿 매칭과 특징 공간 기법을 소개하고, 내용기반 이미지 검색시 시간과 비용을 줄이기 위한 다차원 인덱싱 검색 기법으로써 색상, 질감, 모양 등 추출된 각각의 특징을 R-tree를 사용하여 분리된 특징 벡터에 매핑함으로써 성능을 개선하였다.

Pilomatricoma is a benign adnexal tumor differentiating toward elements of the hair matrix and shaft. It typically presents as a solitary, deep, dermal nodule, but other variants, such as anetodermic form and pseudo-bullous form have rarely been reported. A 22-year-old man presented with erythematous 4×5㎝ sized bulla-like nodule of about 1 month history on the upper back. Histopathologic examination of the lesion showed a well-circumscribed dermal nodule composed of basophilic cells, shadow cells, and transitional cells. There were also marked lymphangiectatic dilatations above the tumor in the upper dermis. We diagnosed this case as a lymphangiectatic pilomatricoma with pseudo-bullous appearance.

The DMA(Dimethylamine) gas sensors were fabricated with the ZnO-based thin films grown by a RF magnetron sputtering method. We investigated the sensitivity and response time according to temperature variation and DMA gas concentration. The ZnO-based thin film sensors sputtered in oxygen atmosphere showed higher sensitivity than those sputtered in argon atmosphere. The ZnO-based thin film sensors doped with Al_(2)O_(3), In_(2)O_(3) and V_(2)O_(5) and sputtered in oxygen atmosphere showed the maximum sensitivity of 218(working temperature, 250 ℃, DMA gas, 160 ppm) and speedy response time. The ZnO-based thin film sensors doped with Al_(2)O_(3), In_(2)O_(3), TiO_(2) and V_(2)O_(5), sputtered in oxygen atmosphere and aged at 330 ℃ showed the maximum sensitivity of 156(working temperature, 250 ℃, DMA gas, 160 ppm).

Endometriosis is the abnormal growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis in the abdominal scar following cesarean section is very rare condition among the extrapelvic endometriosis. The frequency of abdominal wall endometriosis secondary to cesarean section is from 0.03% to 0.8% in some reports. It is difficult to diagnosed in spite of the typical symptoms. The typical symptom is aching swelling in the area of the surgical scar, which is influenced by the phases of menstruation. The definitive diagnosis is established by pathologic analysis. Surgical excision remains the treatment of choice. The majority of patients presented from 1 to 2 years after the precipitating operation. We experienced an unusual case of abdominal wall endometriosis presented over 10 years after cesarean section, who was admitted to our hospital complaining of recurrent left lower abdominal pain. So, we report this case with a brief review of the concerned literatures.

Objectives : This study was to identify the relationship between quality of life and psychosocial characteristics in patients with schizophrenia. Methods : The subjects were eighty nine patients with schizophrenia according to DSM-IV. The Korean Quality of Life Scale (K-QLS) and the Korean modified Scale to measure Subjective Well-being under Neuroleptic treatment (KmSWN) were used to assess quality of life. The psychopathology of each patient was assessed by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). The Scale to Assess Unawareness of Mental Disorder (SAUMD) was used for differentiating presence and absence of insight. The Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale (SOFAS), the Scale of Social Support (SSS), and the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES) were used for assessing psychosocial characteristics. The correlation between the scores of each quality of life scale and other scales was examined, and multiple regression analysis was performed to assess the contribution of the scores of each quality of life scale to other scales. Results : The K-QLS score was significantly related to the scores of the PANSS, the SAUMD, the social conflict domain of the SSS, and the SOFAS. The KmSWN score was significantly related to the scores of the PANSS, the SOFAS, the social conflict domain of the SSS, and the FACES. In multiple regression analysis, the scores on the PANSS (32.9%), the SAUMD (5.8%), and the FACES (4.0%) were contributed to the score on the K-QLS, and the scores on the social conflict domain oftheSSS (17.3%) and the FACES (12.9%) were contributed to the score on the KmSWN. Conclusion : The relation between the K-QLS score and the scores of other scales means that the objective quality of life increases according to decreased the severity of symptom, the high level of insight and the socio-occupational function. And the relation between the KmSWN score and the scores of other scales means that the subjective quality of life increases according to the perceptions to the high level of social support, the low level of social conflict, and the high level of family adaptability and cohesion. The objective quality of life assessed by the K-QLS is affected primarily by the severity of symptoms, and the subjective quality of life assessed by the KmSWN is affected by the subjective perceptions of social conflict, family adaptation and cohesion. These findings suggest that the treatment of symptoms is important in the treatment of schizophrenic patients, but that it is also important to approach to the psychosocial characteristics to increase subjectivesatisfaction from the quality of life in them
