The purpose of this paper is to investigate key ethical issues and hindrances to ethical behavior faced by professionals working in Korean insurance industry. For this purpose, conducted is a survey of actuaries in a variety of positions in insurance companies and insurance related institutions. The findings also are compared to those of American studies. Actuaries' perceptions of the key ethical issues tend to be restricted to actuarial aspects such as insufficient legal authority to perform professional services in an ethical manner and failure to get adequate ethics training program. But some issues arising in marketing are considered significant similar to the U.S. As a whole, key ethical issues and challenges are not significantly different from the viewpoints of actuaries working in the life and non-life insurance business. Regarding key hindrances to ethical behavior, the 15 factors are presented such as competitive pressures, performance-based evaluation and unethical demand made by clients. These findings are generally similar to those of the U.S. studies.

In recent years, gonorrhea has been pandemic and remains one of the most common STDs in the world, especially in developing countries. For the detection of a more effective therapeutic regimen and assessing the prevalence of Penicillinase Producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae(PPNG), we have been trying to study the patients who have visited the Venereal Disease Clinic of Choong-Ku Public Health Center in Seoul since 1980 by menas of the chromogenic cephalosporin method. In 1998, 93 strians of N. genorrhoeae were isolated, among which 60(64.5%) were PPNG. The prevalence of PPNG in Seoul, which had been decreased to 39% in 1996 after a peak of 74.3% in 1993, is increased to 64.5% in 1998.

Many operations for the reconstruction of the pelvic area have been studied until now. The local muscle flap is often used for the closure of these complex wound. But, these local muscle flaps may not be available for reconstruction due to the factors of infection, radiation, and surgical trauma. Since rectus abdominis muscle and gracilis muscle were introduced, their use has been steadily increased for the reconstruction of soft tissue defect of the pelvic area. Inferiorly based rectus abdominis muscle flap and the gracilis muscle flap have been adopted for well-vascularized soft tissue coverage of the defect of pelvis and groin area. These techniques were utilized in seven patients. Of these patients, rectus abdominis muscle flap was used on four patients and three patients were treated with gracilis muscle flap. Among these, chronic osteomyelitis of pelvic bone has been managed with inferiorly based rectus abdominis muscle flap in three patients. No complication has been found. The mean postoperative follow-up period was 26 months, with a range of 12 to 39 months. In conclusion, these muscles are functionally expandable , and provide adequate tissue volume with sufficient blood supply away from the zone of injury, and readily transposed into the pelvis and groin area through subcutaneous tunnel, and serve as an antibiotic delivery system that aids in the eradication of infection. These findings suggest a reconstructive option for the defect of pelvis and groin, and/or bone infection in this area.

The present study has been designed in order to clarify the multiplication and the effect of lactobacilli (shirota strain) on the growth of Shigella dysenteriae (type 1) in vitro and in vivo mouse cecum. The experimental results are summerized as follows. 1. The growth and multiplication of Shigella dysenteriae were inhibited when those organisms were inoculated on the L-broth medium culturedwith lactobacilli for 16 hours (pH 5-0). However, when Shigella dysenteriae was inoculated on the BHI broth medium already cultured with lactobacilli, -the growth and multiplication of those organism were observed, and pH of the medium was changed from 6.3 to 6.1 2. Whe both lactobacilli and Shigella dysenteriae were simultaneously inoculated on the L-broth or BHl broth medium, there were observed decreasing trends of survival of shigella organism, while lactobacilli gradualy grew and multiplied, and pH of the L-broth and BHI broth were changed from 6.8 to 5. 6 an d from 7. 2 to 6.3 respectively. 3. There was no distinct growth and multiplication of lactobacilli in mouse cecum by oral administration, although there was a slight fluctuation in the number of lactobacilli organisms. 4. Shigella organisms was detected with gradual decreasing numbers untill the fourth day after inoculation by mouth. However the survial of Shigella organisms in mouse cecum was rapidly decreased and disappeared within one day by the oral administration of lactobacilli solution. Based on the above experimental results it is deduced that lactobacilli are generally unable to be multiplicated in mouse cecum and to affect pH change of mouse cecum, and that shigella dysenteriae survival in mouse cecum seems not to be affected by pH fluctuation.

There are many theoretical indices for chemical carcinogenicity. Among the various indices, the LUMO electron density and approximate superdelocalizability have taken to compared and discussed for the carcinogenicity of PAHs, aromatic amines and Azo-compounds. The sum of LUMO electron density of the trans-butadiene type 1, 2, 4 positions in a molecule has been known to be in more agreement with the observed values than those of approximate superdelocalizability. It is suggested that any trans-butadiene type 1, 2, 4 positions play an importmant role in the elucidation of mechanism of chemical carcinogenesis.

Hypopharyngo-esophageal cancer is usually found at late stage. Its main treatment is surgical intervention and it often requires radical resection. Reconstruction of the hypopharyngo-esophageal defect after the resection of carcinomas of the hypopharynx and the cervical esophagus has traditionally been carried out with deltopectoral or musculocutaneous flap. Another approach is to reconstruct the defect with the colon or stomach. Recent advances in microvascular surgical techniques have resulted in one stage reconstruction with free flap. Both jejunal free flap and radial forearm free flap is a good alternative for the reconstruction of hypopharyngo-esophageal defect. Six cases of the radial forearm flap and nine cases of the jejunal flap were used to reconstructed the hypopharyngo-esophageal defect in 15 patients. In jejunal free flap, upper margin was reconstructed with end to side anastomosis and lower margin with end to end anastomosis. In radial forearm free flap, we used trapezoid shaped flap and tubed by complete or partial tubing according to the condition of the defects. Stricture and fistula are troublesome complications. The complications were peritonitis(n=1) and fistula(n=1). We concluded that both forearm and jejunal free flap is a useful alternative in reconstruction of hypopharynx and cervical esophagus.

Background : Previous data have been reported that subtype B is prevalent in South Korea, but neither the extent nor the proportion of subtypes could be evaluated. This study was designed to analyze the distribution of HIV-1 subtypes, temporal instructions and transmission dynamics between epidemiological groups. Methods : 1,280 Koreans had been diagnosed as HIV seropositive during the period 1985 to 2000. Among them, 134 individuals were selected for this molecular epidemiological study. 134 DNAs were isolated from uncultured or cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells. V3-V5 (0.7 kb) fragment of HIV-1 env gene was amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction and was sequenced. Results : HIV-1 isolates from thirty-seven homosexuals were all subtype B (100%). On the other hand, 66 isolates from 94 heterosexuals were subtype B (70%) and 28 were non B subtypes (30% : 13 A, 4 C, 2 D, 8 E , 1 G). Only subtype B strains were isolated from 73 males who were infected with HIV inside Korea while 16 B and 20 non B subtype strains were isolated from 36 males who were HIV infected outside of Korea. However, B and non B strains were isolated half and half from females who were infected inside Korea except one. Conclusion : The HIV-1 subtype B strains are prevalent in Korea from the early HIV infection until present in both homo and heterosexuals. Non B strains have been transmitted from men who were infected outside Korea to their spouses and casual partners. So, we need further study to monitor subtype B and non B HIV transmission in epidemiological groups of Korea, (Korean J Infect Dis 33:311∼318, 2001)
