Background : Coronary disease is highly prevalent in patient with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and account for much of their observed morbidity and mortality. Troponin-I consistently maintains a high sensitivity and specificity and is most sensitive marker for ischemic heart disease (IHD). Method : We examed 49 hernodialyzed patients (22 male, 27 female) without evidence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) for 6 months. Biochemical markers were measured in serial predialysis blood samples. For analysis, we used two cardio-specific assays for troponin-T (cTnT) as well as for troponin-I (cTnI) and compared the results with CK-MB (reference value ≤ 4.0 ng/mL) concentration. Results : Myocardial ischemia was observed in 47% (23/49) of patients. cTnT level above 0.1 ng/mL. and cTnI level above 0.5 ng/mL, were observed in 22% (11/49) and 20% (10/49) of patients respectively. cTnI revealed significantly higher positive rate in patients with myocardial ischemia than the patients without myocardial ischemia (43 % vs 30%) (p<0.05). cTnT and CK-MB revealed no difference in positive rate between the patients with and without myocardial ischemia (cTnT : 30% vs 15% and CK-MB : 30% vs 19%). The sensitivity and specificity of cTnI to myocardial ischemia were higher than those of cTnT and CK-MB (sensitivity 43% vs 30% and 30%. specificity 100% vs 85% and 81%). Conclusion: Both cTnT and cTnI are useful in ruling out myocardial injury in chronic renal failure patients. But. cTnI is a more sensitivity and excellent specificity of ischemic heart disease than cTnT and CK-MB in hemodialyzed patients. In patients with ischemic heart disease, the presences of DM and advanced age were higher than those in patients without ischemic heart disease (p<0.05). Among the baseline characteristics old age, elevated LDH and diabeties were significant more frequent in the patients with elevation of cardiac troponin-I (p>0.5 ng/mL) than those with cardiac troponin-I (p<0.5 ng/mL), p=0.038, p=0.049, and p=0.045, respectively. Our results suggest that these cTnI is the potential diagnostic marker for the prediction of IHD in ESRD patients.

섬유강화형 포스트를 이용한 치관-치근 파절의 치료: 증례 보고

임화신,라지영,이광희,안소연,김윤희,금기석,이상봉 大韓小兒齒科學會 2012 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.39 No.1

The crown-root fracture is defined as a fracture of tooth that contains enamel, dentin and cementum with or without pulp exposure. Generally the fracture lines place obliquely from labial surface, between incisal edge of the crown and marginal gingiva, to palatal surface subgingivally. If the fracture line is located supragingivally, the removal of tooth fragment and supragingival restoration can be performed. In subgingival fracture line, the surgical exposure, orthodontic eruption or surgical eruption can be considered. If the fracture line is too deep to restorate, extraction or decoronation can be selected. In children and adolescents, the extraction should be the last option. Another option to select before extraction is the restoration using fiber-reinforced post and the reattachment of tooth fragment. The fiber-rainforced post enhances the retention and the durability of tooth fragment. The reattachment of crown fragment using resin adhesive system is considered minimal invasive treatment biologically. This case reports the treatment of crown-root fracture using the reattachment of crown fragment and the insertion of fiber-reinforced post. 치관-치근 파절은 법랑질, 상아질, 백악질이 모두 포함된 치아의 파절로, 파절선이 대부분 절단연이나 순측의 변연부 치은 에서 구개측 치은열구 하방으로 사선으로 진행된다. 파절선의 위치가 치은 연상이라면 파절편의 제거 및 치은연상 수복을 시 행하고, 치은 연하라면 파절면의 외과적 노출술, 교정적 정출술, 외과적 정출술을 이용한 치아의 수복이 이루어진다. 그 외에 섬유 강화형 포스트를 삽입하여 치관 수복물의 유지력을 높이고, 레진 접착 시스템을 사용하여 치관 파절편을 재부착함으로 써 생물학적으로 최소한으로 침습적인 치료를 하는 방법도 있다. 만약 파절의 정도가 치은 연하로 깊은 경우 발치나 치관절제 술을 이용한 치근의 유지 등을 고려할 수 있다. 본 증례는 치관-치근파절로 내원한 12세 환아로 섬유강화형 포스트를 사용하여 치관 파절편 재부착을 시행하였으며 양호 한 경과를 보여 이를 보고하는 바이다.

18S-srRNA 분석에 의한 Acantbamoeba 한국 분리주들의 분류 검토

신호준,지영진,조명수,김형일,박연희,임경일 아주대학교 의과학연구소 1998 아주의학 Vol.3 No.2

Acanthamoeba spp. spread in soil, ponds, air and swimming pool, cause a granulomatous amoebic meningitis and amoebic keratitis in human and experimental animals. Their classification had depended upon morphological characteristics and physiological conditions such as thermophilic status and generation times. However, because amoeba species showed the morphological and physiological diversity in isolates, many attempts have been made on identification of Acanthamoeba spp. Restriction fragments length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of IBS-small subunit ribosomal RNA (srRNA) was an useful tool for classification among morphologically and genetically closely-related species. In this study, 18S-srDNAs of amoebae were amplified by PCR with primer encoding 18S-srRNA gene and digested with restriction endonudeases, and RFLP analysis was applied on classification of Acanthamoeba Korean isolates (YM-4, YM-5 and YM-7), comparing with reference amoebae, A. culbertsoni, A. polyphaga and A. royreba. Trophozoites of six Acanthamoeba spp. had typical acanthopoda, but did not show any morphological differences. Cyst of Acanthamoeba sp. YM-7 was similar to that of A. polyphaga which was designated as group Ⅱ Acanthamoeba. Morphologically other amoebae belonged to group Ⅲ Acanthamoeba. Digestion of 18S-srDNA with six enzymes, Dde Ⅰ, Hae Ⅲ, Hind Ⅲ, EcoR Ⅰ, Rsa Ⅰ and Sph Ⅰ, resulted in various DNA fragments. Using the method of Nei and U (1979) for RFLP analysis, genetic divergence was not observed between A culbertsoni and Acanthamoeba sp. YM-4. Between A. culbertsoni and Acanthamoeba sp. YM-5, genetic distance was 0.070, 0.364 between Acanthamoeba sp. YM-4 and A. polyphaga, and 0.277 between Acanthamoeba sp. YM-7 and A. polyphaga. In comparison with A. culbertsoni and A. polyphaga, Acanthamoeba sp. YM-7 showed genetic distance of 0.330 and 0.154, respectively. Thus, Acanthamoeba sp. YM-7 is a similar species to A. polyphaga. Acanthamoeba sp. YM-5 is a different species from A. polyphaga, but closely-related to A. culbertsoni. Acanthamoeba sp. YM-4 can be classified as a subspecies or a strain of A. culbertsoni.

Introduced with a review of general taxation principles in Korea, the article provides details of the main type of tax related to forest resource management. The forest taxation of Japan and the United states is also examined to compare with the Korean legislation. The basic analysis is made upon provisions and interpretation of each tax, its history, and its influence on forest management. For Korean forest taxation, some points to be considered are as follows. 1) Since 500,000 won of special income tax deduction from total forest revenue is not likely to be remaining with its absolute value, it should be variable by socio-economic situation. 2) Income tax exemption from newly reforested land for 40 years may shorten rotation and induce heavy harvest cutting for long-term commercial timber species. 3) With a few exceptions, general forest managers are not offered favors in death tax and property tax for their forest land. Taxes have frequently been called the primary impediment factor for timber production because the effectiveness of incentives of programs has not been provided. Considered to the specific characteristics of forestry and resource conservation, Korean forest taxation should be revised and complemented to encourage forest management or maintenance.

김수연,김진용,강지혜,박신영,이희승,박윤수,서일혜,조용균 대한감염학회 2007 감염과 화학요법 Vol.39 No.4

목적 : 본 연구는 일개 대학병원의 한 병동에서 16SrRNA 유전자 염기서열 분석을 통해 확인된 Acinetobacter spp. 가성요로감염 집단 발생에 대한 조사이다. 재료 및 방법 : 일개 대학병원의 일반병동에서 2005년 9월 23일부터 26일까지 5명의 환자에서 Bordetelta bronchiseptica 세균뇨가 동시에 분리되었다. 해당 환자들에 대한 입원 진료 기록을 확인하고, 이학적 검사를 시행하였고, 의료진 면담 등의 역학적 조사와 의심되는 전파원의 환경 감시배양을 시행하였다. 또한 다섯 균주들의 상동성 확인을 위해 pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE)를 하였고, 정확한 균 동정을 위해 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열 분석을 하였다. 결과 : VITEK system에 의해 B. bronchiseptica로 보고된 다섯 균주들은 거의 유사한 항생제 감수성을 가지고 있었다. 유행조사에서 요로감염의 증상이나 균혈증을 보인 환자는 없었고, 환경 감시배양에서 공통의 전파원은 증명되지 않았다. 또한 PFGE와 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열분석에서 상동성을 가진 동일 Acinetobacter spp.로 확인되어 이에 의한 가성요로감염의 유행으로 결론지었다. 결론 : 역학적 조사와 함께 PFGE와 16s rRNA 유전자염기서열 분석과 같은 분자생물학적인 조사를 시행하는 것은 희귀한 균에 의한 병원감염 유행조사에 도움이 될 것이다. Background : Acinetobacter spp. is increasingly implicated in hospital-acquired infections. We experienced a pseudooutbreak of Bordetella bronchiseptica bacteriuria identified with biochemical tests, that was later identified as Acinetobacter spp. by using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Materials and Methods : Five in-ward patients were found to have B. bronchiseptica bacteriuria without symptoms of urinary tract infection between September 23 and 26 of 2005. We conducted pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of the bacteria and epidemiological investigation of this pseudooutbreak. In addition, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis was performed for the verification of the strains. Results : All 5 isolates were identified as B. bronchiseptica with similar antibiogram by VITEK system. There was no evidence of any symptom or sign of urinary tract infection. The source of this pseudooutbreak was not detected even after performing environmental culture and interviews with healthcare workers. We could not get the appropriate results from the first PFGE with XbaI restriction enzyme. B. bronchiseptica is an unusual organism in human so we conducted 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis for verification. The analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence with 5 isolates demonstrated 99-100% similarity to a sequence of Acinetobacter spp. (AU1523). According to the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, we performed the second PFGE with SmaI restriction enzyme, which showed indistinguishable pattern among the all 5 isolates. Conclusion : This investigation suggests that the combined method of 16s rRNA gene sequence analysis and PFGE would be helpful for investigation of outbreak caused by unusual organisms.

Background : Pneumocytitis cainii pneumonia (PCP) can occur in immunocompromised hosts especially such as AIDS or cancer patients. Although recent research had focused on PCP in AIDS patients, few studies have described the clinical presentations of PCP in recipients of stem cell transplantation (SCT). We evaluated the clinical manifestations of PCP in SCT patients admitted at St. Mary's hospital, Seoul, Korea. Methods : The medical records of 17 PCP patients undergoing SCT between Feb. 1998 and Feb. 2000 were reviewed. The diagnosis of PCP was confirmed through the demonstration of Pneumocytitis cainii via either cytology of brochoalveolar lavage (BAL) or histological technique of lung biopsy. CMV disease and CMV infection were confirmed by BAL culture and antigenemia respectively . Results : Seventeen patients were all recipients of allogeneic SCT and 7 of 17 patients were performed non-sibling SCT. Patients presented with symptoms including brief period (4 ∼23 days) of fever (76%), dyspnea (70%), cough (64%), and signs such as rare(58.8%), Sixteen patients (94%) had been receiving immunosuppressive agent such as cyclosporine A (64%) or Fk506 (35%) without PCP prophylaxis. Eleven patients (64%) were treated with corticosteroid with mean dose of 16 mg/day prednisolone and mean duration of 4.6 months after post-SCT period. Twelve patients were co-infected with CMV. Another co-infected miCroorganisms were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, herpes simplex virus, parainfluenza virus, Average duration of treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) was 21 ±9 days. Four patients died, and three of them were related with PCP. Conclusion : PCP developed frequently in patients who were taking immunosuppressive drug due to graft versus host disease or were not taking TMP/SMX prophylaxis. High risk patients showing fever, cough, or dyspnea should be considered to take early bronchoscopic intervention for detection of PCP. When treat for PCP, it also be considered to the possibility of coinfection such as CMV. (Korean J Infect Dis 33:273∼279, 2001)

Objectives : To observe the effect of acupuncture treatment in chronic shoulder pain patients. Methods : 36 voluntary patients were randomly assigned to an acupuncture treatment group(E GrouP, n=18) and a control group(C GrouP, n=18). The E Group patients received acupuncture treatment on LI_(15), TE_(14), GB_(21) and Master Dong's acupuncture points, Shin-gwan and Gyun-joong, twice a week for four weeks. The C Group patients received no treatment. All patients in both groups were instructed to practise self exercise in their daily lives. Evaluations were made at baseline and after four weeks of study. The Constant Shoulder Assessment(CSA), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index(SPADI) and the patient's subjective pain was measured by Visual Analogue Scale(VAS). The obtained data was analyzed. Results '. The E Group showed significant(p<0.05) improvement in CSA, SPADI and VAS after four weeks of treatment. The C Group showed significant(p<0.05) improvement in CSA, but the change of SPADI and VAS was insignificant(P>0.05). CSA and SPADI of E Group significantly(p<0.05) improved compared to the C GrouP, but the difference of VAS change in the two groups was insignificant(p>0.05). Conclusions : Four weeks of acupuncture treatment significantly improved CSA, SPADI and VAS. The improvement of CSA and SPADI was significant(p<0.05) compared to untreated patients.

Objectives The aim of this study was to identify the characteristic symptoms for diagnosis of Hwabyung (HB), a culture-related anger syndrome in Korea; to construct a rating scale for HB and test its validity and reliability; and propose diagnostic criteria for HB. Methods Subjects were male and female Korean patients, who were diagnosed following Structured Clinical Interview (SCID) as having depressive disorders, anxiety disorders and somatoform disorders and who reported as having self-labeled HB. A HB Scale was constructed with 22 of the most common symptoms of HB as identified by previous studies. The HB scale's inter-rated reliability was tested with 60 subjects. Its validity was tested by comparison between a HB only group(n=47) and depressive disorder only group (n=44). Logistic regression analysis was conducted to make a predictive model of HB. Based on these results diagnostic criteria for HB was proposed. Results Inter-rated reliability in each of all the items and the total score of the HB Scale were statistically significant. The HB scale differentiated HB from depressive disorder with statistical significance. In logistic regression analysis, the ability of the HB model to predict symptoms of heat sensation, ukwool/boon (feeling of unfairness), and subjective anger was high with sensitivity of 80.0%, specificity of 88.4% accuracy of 84.1% and area under ROC of 0.92. Based on these results and information from previous research, diagnostic criteria of HB were formulated. Conclusion The HB Scale was found to be reliable and valid. Consequently, diagnostic criteria of HB were proposed, to include subject anger, "kwool/boon" (Feeling of unfairness), expressed anger, heat sensation, hostility, "haan", pushing-up in the chest, epigastric mass, respiratory stuffiness, palpitation, dry mouth, sighing, racing thoughts, and lamentation.
