연구목적 : 본 시험의 목적은 임상시험 시작전에 연구자들을 대상으로 PANSS Workshop을 통하여 PANSS, ESRS에 대한 국내에서의 표준화 작업을 구축하고 새로운 정신병 치료제인 리스페리돈의 효과와 안정성을 재확인하여 리스페리돈 사용에 대한 적정화를 이루는데 있다. 연구방법 : 1996년 4월부터 1996년 9월까지 국내 39개 대학병원 정신과에 입원중인 혹은 증상이 악화되어 입원하는 정신분열병 환자 377명을 대상으로 다시설 개방 연구를 시행하였다. 1주일간의 약물 배설기간을 가진후, 리스페리돈을 8주간 투여하였고, 기준점, 1주, 2주, 4주, 그리고 8주후에 평가되었다. 용량은 제1일에는 리스페리돈 1mg씩 1일 2회, 제2일에는 2mg씩 1일 2회, 제3∼7일에는 3mg씩 1일 2회 투여하였다. 이후 환자의 임상상태에 따라 임의로 증량할 수 있으며, 최대 일일 16mg을 초과하지 않도록 하였다. 추체외로 증상을 조절하기 위한 투약을 허용하였다. 임상증상 및 부작용의 평가는 PANSS(Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), CGI(Clinical Global Impression) 그리고 ESRS(Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale)을 사용하였다. 연구결과 : 377명중 343명(91%)이 8주간의 연구를 완결하였다. 치료 종결시점인 8주후 PANSS 총점수가 20% 이상 호전된 경우를 약물 반응군으로 정의할때, 약물반응군은 81.3%였다. 리스페리돈에 반응하는 예측인자로는 발병연령, 이전의 입원 횟수, 유병기간이 관련 있었다. 리스페리돈은 1주후부터 PANSS양성, 음성, 및 일반정신병리 점수상에 유의한 호전을 보여 효과가 빨랐다. CGI의 경우도 기준점에 비해 1주후부터 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. ESRS의 경우, 파킨슨 평가점수는 기준점과 비교해 투여 1주, 2주, 4주후 유의하게 증가되었다가 8주후 기준점과 차이가 없었다. Dystonia 평가점수는 1주후만 유의한 증가를 보였으며, dyskinesia 평가점수는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈압, 맥박수의 생명징후 및 일반 혈액학 검사, 생화학적 검사, 심전도 검사에서 유의한 변화는 없었다. 결 론 : 이상의 다시설 개방 임상 연구를 통해 리스페리돈은 정신분열병 환자에서 양성증상뿐만 아니라 음성증상 및 전반적인 증상에도 효과적인 것으로 사료된다. 보다 명확한 평가를 위해서는 다른 항정신병약물과의 이중맹검 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 또한 장기적 치료에 대한 평가도 함께 이루어져야 하겠다. Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of risperidone in the treatment of Korean schizophrenic patients. Method : This multicenter open study included 377 schizophrenic patients drawn from 39 university hospitals. After a wash-out period of 1 week, the schizophrenic patients were treated with risperidone for 8 weeks and evaluated at 5 points ; at baseline, and 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. The dose was increased from 2mg/day(1mg twice daily) to 6mg/day(3mg twice daily) during the first week and adjusted to a maximum of 16mg/day over the next 7 weeks according to the patient's clinical response. Medication to control extrapyramidal symptoms was permitted. The psychiatric and neurological status of the patients was assessed by PANSS, CGI, and ESRS scales. Results : 343(91%) of 377 patients completed the 8-week trial period. Clinical improvement, as defined by a 20% or more reduction in total PANSS score at end point, was shown by 81.3% of patients. The predictors of response to risperidone were associated older age, shorter duration of illness, fewer previous hospitalization. Risperidone had rapid onset of action ; a significant decrease of the total PANSS and three PANSS factor(positive, negative, general), and CGI was already noticed at the end of first week. For the ESRS, parkinsonism rating scores were significantly increased until week 4 comparing with baseline. Dystonia rating scores were significantly increased until week 1, and dyskinesia rating scores were not significantly changed during the study. Laboratory parameters including vital sign, EKG, hematological, and biochemical values showed no significant changes during the trial. Conclusions : This study suggests that risperidone is generally safe and effective against both the positive and negative symptoms in our group of patients.

이정우,박형서,박용규,노상필,이유선,정승현,김보영,이재환,최시완,정진옥,성인환 충남대학교 의과대학 의학연구소 2003 충남의대잡지 Vol.30 No.1

목적 : 관상동맥의 경련에 의한 이형성 협심증환자에 있어서 운동부하 심전도 검사의 결과는 매우 다양하다. 이에 저자들은 충남대학교병원 순환기내과에서 관상동맥조영술상 이형성 협심증으로 확진된 환자를 대상으로 운동부하 심전도 검사를 시행하여 이에 대한 결과를 연구하였다. 방법 : 1995년 1월부터 2002년 3월까지 흉통을 주소로 충남대학교병원 순환기 내과에 입원하여 관상동맥조영술을 시행하여 관상동맥의 내경이 50% 미만의 협착이 있고, 에르고노빈(ergonovine) 유발검사도 이형성 협심증으로 진단을 받은 233명중 운동부하 심전도 검사를 시행 받은 183명의 환자를 연구 대상으로 하였다. 운동부하 심전도 검사 결과의 판독시 발생할 수 있는 오류를 줄이기 위해서 운동부하 심전도 검사를 시행하기전 심전도상 ST분절의 상승(5예)이나 하강(8예)이 있는 경우 EH한 T파의 역위(19예)가 있는 32명의 환자를 제외한 총 151명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 운동부하는 Marquette사의 case 15 답차를 이용하였고, Bruce protocol에 따라 증상이 나타날 때까지 최대로 실시하였으며 각 stage 및 운동후의 혈압을 측정하고 12 유도 심전도를 기록하였다. 결과 : 1) 임상적 특성 - 내원시 임상 상은 안정형 협심증이 39예(25.8%), 불안정형 협심증이 103예(68.2%), 심근경색증이 9예(6.0%)이었다. 운동부하 심전도 검사 결과 양성 군과 음성군간에 있어서 당뇨병, 고혈압, 비만도, 총 혈청콜레스테롤치, 현재의 흡연 여부, 병력상 운동시 흉통의 유무, 내원시 임상적 진단, 협착의 정도, 연축의 수 등을 조사하였는 바 어떠한 인자들도 유의한 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 2) 운동부하 심전도 검사 - 운동부하 심전도 검사를 시행 받은 151명의 환자중 음성인 경우는 134예(88.8%)이었고, 양성인 경우는 17예(11.2%)이었다. 양성 소견을 보인 환자들중 ST 분절의 상승이 4예(2.6%), ST 분절의 하강이 13예(8.6%)이었다. 3) 관상동맥조영술 - 관상동맥조영술상에서 혈관 경력 위치는 우관상동맥이 70예(46.1%), 좌전하동맥이 44예(28.9%), 좌회선동맥이 17예(11.2%)의 순으로 나타났다. 운동부하 심전도 검사상 ST 분절의 상승이 있었던 예중 Ⅱ, Ⅲ, aVF에서 ST 분절의 상승이 있었던 1예는 관상 동맥조영술상 우관상동맥에서 경련이 발생하였고, V2-V4에서 ST 분절의 상승이 있었던 2예중 관상동맥조영술상에도 좌전하행동맥에서 경련이 나타난 예는 1예이었으며 다른 1예는 좌회선동맥에서 경련이 나타났고, V5-V6에서 ST 분절의 상승이 있었던 1예는 관상동맥조영술상에도 좌회선동맥에서 경련이 나타났다. 운동부하 심전도 검사상 V5 또는 V6에서 ST 분절의 하강이 있엇던 13예중 6예(46.1%)는 관상동맥조영술상 우관상동맥에서 경련이 발생하였고, 3예(23.1%)는 좌전하행동맥에서, 1예(7.7%)는 좌회선동맥에서, 나머지 3예(23.1%)는 2개의 혈관이나 기타 분지에서 경련이 발생하였다. 결론 : 1) 이형성 협심증 환자는 운동부하 심전도 검사에서 11.2%의 양성소견을 보였다. 이중 ST 분절의 상승은 2.6%이었고, ST 분절의 하강은 8.6%이었다. 2) 이형성 환자중 운동부하 심전도 검사를 실시하여 음성을 보이는 경우 다혈관 관상동맥질환이기 보다는 이형성 협심증일 가능성이 더 높다고 예측할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 3) 이형성 협심증 환자중 운동부하 심전도 검사를 실시하여 ST 분절의 상승을 보이는 경우 다혈관 관상동맥질환이기 보다는 이형성 협심증일 가능성이 더 높다고 예측할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 4) 운동부하 심전도 검사 결과에 대한 당뇨병, 고혈압, 비만도, 총 혈청콜레스테롤치, 현재의 흡연여부, 병력상 운동시 흉통의 유무, 내원시 임상적 진단, 협착의 정도 등 어떠한 인자들도 3그룹(ST 분절의 상승, ST 분절의 하강, 음성)간에 유의한 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 5) ST 분절의 상승 부위와 관상동맥조영술상 관상동맥의 연축이 일어나는 혈관과의 상관관계는 매우 높았다. No reports in the literature describe the results of exercise testings in a large number of patients with pure variant angina(coronary stenosis <50%) in Korea. In this report, We present the results of treadmil exercise testing in 151 patients with variant angina. 151 patients with angiographically proven coronary artery spasm underwent a treadmil exercise test. The clinical characteristics of variant angina patients classified according to ST-segment response to exercise were analyzed. Of 151 patients underwent a treadmil exercise test, negative result was seen in 134 patients(88.8%) and positive result was in 17 patients(11.2%). Of 17 patients saw positive result, exercise-induced ST segment elevation was present in 4 patients(2.6%) and ST segment depression was seen in 13 patients(8.6%). There was not a significant relationship between the ST segment response to exercise and the clinical variables(diabetes, hypertension, obesity, total cholesterol, current smoking, effort angina, clinical diagnosis, and degree of stenosis) assessed. Of 4 patients with ST segment elevation in treadmil exercise test, 1 patient with ST segment elevation in Ⅰ,Ⅲ,aVF had spasm in right coronary artery(100%) on coronary angiography, of 2 patients in V2-V4 had spasm in left anterior descending coronary artery in 1 patient(50%) and 1 patient in V5-V6 had spasm in left circumflex artery(100%). Positive treadmil exercise test was present in 11.2% of variant angina patient. If we have negative treadmil exercise result in patients with clinical manifestation of unstable angina at admission, we may have a suspicion of variant angina rather than multi-vessel disease. If we have exercise-induced ST segment elevation in patients with clinical manifestation of unstable angina at admission, we have a suspicion of variant angina rather than multi-vessel disease. Our result suggests that the correlation between the site of the ST segment elevation and the artery involved is quite good.

여천공단 주변의 삼림식생 구조와 토양환경

이혜정,이정환,오경환 경상대학교 환경보전연구소 1995 環境保全硏究所報 Vol.3 No.1

대기오염이 삼림식생의 구조와 토양환경에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 여천공업단지 및 그 주변지역의 삼림에서 1992년 5월부터 1993년 8월까지 식물상, 삼림식생구조, 토양환경, 토양환경과 삼림식생 구조와의 관계 등을 조사하였다. 1. 조사지역에서 출현하는 관속식물은 55과 107속 125 종 16 변종 2 품종으로 총 143 종류가 출현하였으며, 우점종은 곰솔 (Pinus thunbergii)이었다. 2. 삼림 군집구조는 오염원에 가까울수록 교목층이 빈약하고 하층식생이 단순하였으며, 오염원에서 멀리 떨어진 대조구에서는 층위구조가 뚜렷하고 하층식생이 잘 발달되어 있었다. 3. 종다양성지수는 1.266~1.796으로서 오염원에 가까운 지역일수록 낮았고, 오염원에서 가장 멀리 떨어진 대조구에서 가장 높았으며, 출현종수는 종다양성지수와 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 4. 중요치는 곰솔이 12.2로 가장 높았고 졸참나무 (Quercus serata) 11.2, 때죽나무 (Styrax japonica) 10.4, 사스레피나무 (Eurya japonica) 9.3, 청미래덩굴 (Smilax china) 9.1등의 순이었다. 5. 층별 주요종의 중요치 변화를 보면, 교목층에서는 종다양성지수가 낮으 s지역으로 갈수록 소나무 (Pinus densifora)가 출현하지 않았고 참나무류 (Quercus spp.)는 전체 조사지소에서 다소 높은 중요치를 나타내었다. 관목층에서는 떠ㅐ죽나무가 종다양성지수가 가장 낮은 지역에서 현저하게 높은 중요치를 나타내었으며, 사스레피나무와 청미래덩굴은 대부분의 조사지소에서 중요치가 고르게 나타났다. 초본층에서는 미국자리공 (Phytolacca americana)과 댕댕이덩굴(Cocculus tribulus)이 종다양성지수가 낮은 지역에서 중요치가 증가하였다. 6. 조사지소별 중요치의 분석결과에 의하면 소나무는 대기오염에 민감하고, 참나무류와 사스레피나무는 중간 정도이며, 때죽나무, 미국자리공, 댕댕이덩굴 등은 내성이 있는 것으로 사료되었다. 7. 조사지역의 토양환경은 pH 4.15~5.08, 전기전도도 52.0~138.0 ㎛ho·cm^-1, 유기물량 3.8~14.6%, 총질소량 0.05~0.28%, 유효인량 0.05~0.29mg·100g^-1, 유효황량 88~335ppm 등으로 각각 나타났다. 오염원에 인접한 조사지소 1에서는 pH 4.15, 전기전도도 138.㎛ho·cm^-1, 유효황량 294ppm 등이었고, 대조구로 선정된 조사지소 9에서는 pH 5.08, 전기전도도 52.7㎛ho·cm^-1, 유효황량 88ppm 등으로 나타나 많은 차이가 있었다. 9. 토양 환경요인과 삼림식생 구조와의 관계에서, 대기 중의 아황산가스의 농도가 높아질수록 토양의 유효황량이 증가하였고, 토양의 유효황량은 출현종수 및 종다양성지수와 각각 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. Flora, vegetation structure of forest, soil environment, and the correlation between soil environment and vegetation structure were investigated in the vicinity of Yeocheon Industrial Complex, Yeocheon-city, Choˇllanam-do in Korea from May 1992 to August 1993 with a view to reveal the influences of air pollution to the vegetation structure and soil. The flora of the study area was composed of 55 families, 107 genera, 125 species, 16 varieties and 2 forma or total 143 taxa of tracheophytes and dominant species was Pinus thunbergii. The species diversity indices (H') were lower near the pollution sources, and highest in the control site. The number of species was positively correlated with the species diversity indices. The importance value (I.V.) of Pinus thunbergii was highest as 12.3, and those of Quercus serrata, Styrax japonica, Eurya japonica and Smilax china were 11.0, 10.4, 9.3 and 9.1, respectively. In tree layer, Pinus densiflora was not distributed in the area which has lower species diversity indices, and Quercus spp. has rather high I.V. in all sites. In shrub layer, Styrax japonica showed remarkably high I.V. in area which has the lowest species diversity indices and Eurya japonica, Smilax china hold even I.V. in most of the sites. In herb layer, Phytolacca americana and Cocculus trilobus was increased in area which had low species diversity indices. According to the comparison with the importance values in each site, Pinus densifora was considered as sensitive to the air pollution, but Quercus spp. and Eurya japonica as intermediate, and Styrax japonica, Phytolacca americana and Cocculus trilobus as tolerant. As the result of the correlation analysis among soil environmental factors, pH showed the negative correlation with all the soil factors. The available sulfur showed the negative correlation with total nitrogen and available phosphorus. As the result of the correlation analysis among soil environmental factors and vegetation structure of forest, the available sulfur of soil incresed as concentration of SO₂ in the atmosphere was higher, and the available sulfur of soil were negatively correlated with the number of species and the species diversity indices.

김정념,이숭환,김정식,김진호,배윤오,박성규,윤상정,한현영,이헌영 충남대학교 의과대학 의학연구소 2003 충남의대잡지 Vol.30 No.1

Omental infarction, the end result of impaired perfusion to the greater omentum, is a rare benign self-limiting clinical entity. The main clinical symptom is non-specific localized abdominal pain with a moderately raised white blood cell and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. These findings often mimic an abdominal surgical emergency. This condition is often misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis or cholecystitis. The characteristic feature of CT scan and ultrasonography provide non-invasive diagnosis in most patients with omental infarction. We report a case of patient whose CT scan showed the characteristic finding of omental infarction. The patient was improved spontaneously only with conservative care.

Objective: This study was designed to estimate the frequency and risk factor for edenomyosis Methods: The clinical records of 623 women undergoing hysterectomy were retrieved in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Soonchunhyang University Hospital, during 5 years, from Jan. 1995 to Dec. 1999. Results: The following result were obtained. 1. Adenomyosis was found in 247 of 623 patients(39.6%) 2. The highest incidence was 40-49 years of age group, an incidence of 46.6% and mean age was 44.7 years. 3. Adenomyosis was more frequently observed in parous women than non-parous women, such as 93.1% and 6.9%, respectively. 4. Dysmenorrhea, metrorrhagia, pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding were common symptom of adenomyosis, an incidence of 28.7%, 19.0%, 18.2% and 16.2%, respectively. 5. Myoma was the most combined disease in adenomyosis, showing the incidence of 54.7%. 6. Grossly, the size of uterus was enlarged more than 10 weeks gestational size in adenomyosis, an incidence of 61.9%. 7. Preoperative diagnostic accuracy of adenomyosis was 6.9%. Conclusion: The results show that deeply understanding of the common symptoms and epidemiology of adenomyosis improve the preoperative diagnostic accuracy.

김대환,이채관,김휘동,강동묵,문덕환,김정호,손병철,이창희,이채언 인제대학교 백병원 2002 仁濟醫學 Vol.23 No.1

유기용제는 산업장에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히 여성근로자들의 폭로기회가 증가하고 있으며 이로 인한 자연유산, 수태능력 감소, 월경이상 등이 보고되고 있다. 따라서 유기용제 폭로가 여성근로자들의 월경에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해 설문조사와 월경주기별 여성생식 호르몬(progesterone, estrogen) 분석을 하였다. 그 결과 폭로군에서 progeterone의 억제효과가 유기용제에 폭로되는 여성근로자들의 다양한 월경이상을 초래할 가능성이 있는 것으로 생각된다. ■ Objectives This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of menstrual function in female workers exposed to organic solvents. ■ Methods Rates of menstrual disorders were studied in 87 female workers with exposure to organic solvents(Cn/Hn-value 0.713) in a factory manufacturing shoes and compared with 83 general female workers who had no exposure to organic solvents, Detailed menstrual and reproductive histories were obtained by personal interview using structured questionnaire, and plasma concentrations of progesterone and estrogen were assayed by radioimmunoassay(RIA). ■ Results The rates for menstrual irregularity, menstrual duration, blood clot in menstrual flow and dysmenorrhea were not significantly different in both groups. Number of using menstrual pad was significantly higher and the plasma level of progesterone during 6-11th day of menstrual cycle was significantly lower in the exposed group compared with non-exposed group(P<0.05). ■ Conclusions It seemed to be suppression effect of organic solvents on the reproductive hormones(progesterone and estrogen) in female workers. But there was no evidence that menstrual disorder was likely to result from exposure to organic solvents, because other behavioral, psychological and work related factors may also affect menstrual function.

Ho-Chang Lee1, Seung-Myoung Son, Yong-Moon Lee, Ji Hae Koo, Song-Yi Choi, Ok-Jun Lee, Eun-Hwan Jeong 충북대학교 동물의학연구소 2012 Journal of Biomedical and Translational Research Vol.13 No.2

Malignant transformation of mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is rare. Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a neoplasm comprising malignant mesenchymal cells and a conventional carcinomatous area. Here, we report on a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma arising from an MCT in the left ovary of a 45-year-old female. A unilocular cyst consistent with MCT was observed; however, a nodule within the cyst was confirmed from the resected ovary. Microscopically, the nodule showed both squamous cell carcinoma and pleomorphic sarcomatous components admixing with each other. Lining epithelial cells at the periphery of the main tumor showed squamous metaplasia. When a sarcomatous component is observed in the ovary tumor, it is important to find a squamous cell component, either benign or malignant.

Background : Gastric cancer is the most common malignant tumor in Korea. surgical operation is one of the major treatment modalities for gastric cancer patients. Therefore, gastrectomy is one of the most common procedures in General Surgery. There were variation in length of hospital stay and medical treatment for gastrectomy between three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. Clinical pathways have received considerable attention as a tool for recucing the medical practice variation, increasing the efficiency of care process, and improving the quality of care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a clinical pathway for gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients. Methods : The clinical pathway for gastrectomy was developed and implemented by a multidisciplinary group in Asan Medical Center. A computerized clinical pathway program was developed and revised after a pilot test. A total of 145 patients underwent gastrectomy by three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. We compared the length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction, and unplanned readmission rate between the pre-pathway group(n=67) and the post-pathway group(n=78). We also investigated the degree of satisfaction among the physicians and nurses who were main end-users of the clinical pathway. Results : The clinical pathway was applied to all target patients. The average length of hospital stay was shortened from 12.7days to 10.6days(p<0.01). The degree of patient satisfaction with the care process changed from 90.3% to 89.2% after the implementation of the clinical pathway, but the difference was of satistically significant(p=0.761). Unplanned readmission rate was 2.9% in the pre-pathway group. More than 90% of physicians and nurses answered that the clinical pathway had been a useful tool in their medical practice. Conclusions : The findings of the study demonstrated that implementation of the clinical pathway for gastrectomy produced substantial reduction in the length of hospital stay while improving the quality of patient outcomes. The computerized clinical pathway program can be used as one of the powerful patient management tools for reducing the practice variations and increasing the efficiency of care process in Korea hospital settings.
