The present study was aimed to isolate the bacteria producing chitinolytic enzymes including chitin deacetylase (CDA) from soil origin. About 24 bacteria were screened for their chitinolytic enzymes producing ability on the basis of colloidal chitin. Amongst one of the most potent isolates designated to JI-02 was further selected as the most prominent chitinolytic and CDAlike enzyme (CDA-X) producer based on the ability of deacetylation of an artificial substrate pNP-acetamilide. The maximum production of CDA-X in crude enzyme from JI-02 was observed in the presence of 1% colloidal chitin at 37°C and pH 6.4 after 120 h of incubation. Potent enzyme activity of CDA-X was determined toward pNP-acetamilide, demonstrating that optimal pH, temperature and ionic strength of the CDA-X were assessed to be 7.0, 52°C and 125 mM, respectively. Unexpectedly, Nacetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) was not fully converted by the action of CDA-X to glucosamine (GlcN) under the established conditions. Further study on enzyme activity toward chitin-oligosaccharides consisting of multi-N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)n, n=2-5 may be necessary to elucidate the mode of action which requires the minimum size of (GlcNAc)n. However, our data suggest that CDA-X can convert chitin to chitosan with the maximum yield of approximately 0.08g/L during the fermentation of the strain in the presence of chitin. Furthermore, we found that crude enzyme showed the significant chitosanolytic activity. Taken together, our data suggest that the strain JI-02 may be a potential candidate as a particular strain for better understating of chitin catabolic pathway.

본 연구의 목적은 유치열기 3급 부정 교합 환아에서 facemask를 이용한 악정형 치료 후 골격적 변화와 치료 후 나타나는 재발 양상을 평가하는 것이다. 유치열기 3급 부정교합 환아 15명을 대상으로 구내장치로 bonded expander, 구외장치로 facemask를 이용한 악정형 치료를 평균 12개월 동안 시행하였으며, 1년 간의 follow up 기간 동안 유지 장치는 사용되지 않았다. 치료 시작 전, 치료 직후, 치료 1년 후에 측면두부방사선사진을 촬영하고 전후방 및 수직적 골격관계와 연조직의 변화를 비교분석하였다. 모든 환아에서 치료 직후, 유의할 만한 골격적 전후방 관계의 변화를 보였고 1년 간의 follow-up 기간 동안 재발되는 경향을 보였으나 치료 시작 전과 비교하여 치료 효과는 유지되었다. 수직적 골격적 변화는 치료 직후 증가되었으나 1년 간의 follow up 기간 동안 다시 감소하여 치료 시작 전과 비교하여 차이를 보이지 않았다. 연조직의 변화는 facial convexity 및 상순의 위치가 치료 직후 개선됨을 보였고 1년 간의 follow-up 기간 동안에도 치료 전과 비교하여 치료효과는 유지되었다. 하순의 위치는 치료 직후에 유의할 만한 변화를 보이지 않았다. Facemask는 유치열기 3급 부정교합에 있어서 효과적인 치료 방법이며, 안정적인 치료 결과를 위해서는 적절한 형태의 유지장치가 고려되는 것이 바람직하다. The purpose of this study was to evaluate skeletal and soft tissue changes that occur after using a facemask for treatment of skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion. and to assess the relapse pattern when no retention appliance was used. Fifteen skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion patients were treated with a facemask for an average of 12 months. No retention appliance was used during the 1 year follow-up period. Cephalograms were taken during pretreatment, posttreatment, and the 1 year follow-up. Cephalograms were traced, analyzed, and the results were compared between cephalograms. All patients showed significant sagittal skeletal changes after treatment, but they also showed a significant relapse during the 1 year follow-up period when no retention appliance was used. Despite the relapse, the sagittal skeletal changes that remained were still significant. Vertical skeletal change was also significant after treatment, but the total change was not significant after a 1 year follow-up due to relapse. In soft tissue changes, facial convexity and upper lip position improved after treatment and this change remained significant after the 1 year follow-up period. Facemask therapy is therefore an effective method for treatment of skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion, however, retention is imperative to maintain the treatment effect.

소아암 환자의 치료 방법으로 주로 사용되는 항암화학요법이나 방사선요법이 구강 건강에 미치는 영향은 매우 크다. 구강 점막염, 타액 분비율의 변화, 구강내 감염을 야기할 수 있고, 부분무치증, 왜소치, 치근 발육이상, 저석회화증이 나타날 수 있다. 본 연구는 신경모세포종으로 치료 받은 환아들에 있어 항암치료가 치아우식증 발생 위험도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 실시되었다. 삼성서울병원 소아청소년과에 신경모세포종으로 내원하여 화학 및 방사선치료요법을 받은 환아들을 대상으로 Dentocult.. SM, Dentobuff.. Strip을 이용하여 항암치료 후의 타액 분비율, 타액 완충능, 타액 내의 Streptococcus mutans 수를 알아보고 정상 어린이들의 결과와 비교하였으며, 신경모세포종 환아에서 처음 치료를 시작한 나이, 치료 종결 후 경과 시간에 따라 치아우식활성도가 어떻게 달라지는지에 대해서도 알아보았다. 그 결과 타액 분비율은 환아가 대조군에 비해 유의성 있게 낮은 결과를 보인 반면(p<0.05), 타액 완충능과 Streptococcus mutans 수는 환아와 대조군 간에 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 환아에서 치료를 시작한 나이나 치료 종결 후 경과 시간에 따른 치아우식활성도에서도 통계적 유의차는 없었다. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy used for the treatment of pediatric cancer may have many adverse effects on the oral cavity. Oral mucositis, reduced salivary flow, oral infection, hypodontia, microdontia, arrested root development, and enamel hypoplasia are common oral complications. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of cancer therapy on dental caries activities. The children who had been treated for neuroblastoma in the department of pediatrics, Samsung Medical Center, were included and healthy children served as controls. The salivary flow rate, salivary buffering capacity, and Streptococcus mutans counts of both groups were evaluated using Dentocult SM and Dentobuff Strip. The dental caries activity related to the age at the start of treatment and the time elapsed since treatment completion were also evaluated. As a result, neuroblastoma patients had significantly lower salivary flow rate than the controls, while there were no significant differences between two groups as for salivary buffering capacity and Streptococcus mutans counts. The dental caries activities related to the age at the start of treatment and the time elapsed since treatment completion were not significantly different.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare preceptors and new graduate nurses on their perception of preceptor teaching effectiveness. Methods: The participants were 90 new nurses and 90 preceptors who worked in A medical center. The data were collected from July 1 to September 30, 2008. A cross-sectional descriptive survey was done using a structured questionnaire. Results: New nurses' perception (4.07±.44) of the preceptor teaching effectiveness was significantly higher than perception of the preceptors (3.57±.37). Fifty five percent of new graduate nurses reported a lack of coherence in the preceptor's practice guidelines. For 5 causal factors classified on the teaching effectiveness, the factor of 'Professional knowledge and ability' showed the highest score, but 'Interpersonal and communication skill' got lowest score for both group. Preceptors responded that they did not have enough time to teach well because of their heavy workloads. Conclusions: These results suggest that the preceptors need appropriate compensation and education opportunities, and new graduate nurses need consistent education by the teaching professionals. Therefore, it is important to give preceptors full charge of the preceptorship. Also, it will be necessary to develop education programs to enhance interpersonal and communication skill for preceptors and new nurses.

The study of Electroluminescence has been begun with that the two Germans, B. Gudden & R. W. Pohl in 1920 examined the remaining lights by dint of adding Electric Field at the fluorescent substance, and from 1952 the study became brisk, in 1960 made a peak, and afterward it was diminished. The above facts were appeared through H. E. Ivey`s investigation. The cause was it that the light-efficiency and the brightness were very pessimistic, though the beginning of EL-Study was given in the development of illumination. In 1950, however, with the initiative that C. W. Jerome of Sylvania Co. deviced and announced EL-Lamp, EL-Fluorescent substances were embed and merchandised as EL-Panels, and after a while it was applied to EL-Lamps, Expression Apparatuses, Light Amplifier, Logic Circuit and so on, with which the use frequency got high, and it has been developed as a promising Electronic Industry. But in our country, considering the various conditions, in order to find out the possibility of EL-Production within the home country, Impurity was introduced to ZnS powder, EL of ZnS : Cu, Cl & ZnS : Cu, Mn, Cl could be manufactured, and surveying the Voltage Characteristics, the Frequency Characteristics, and the Spectral Response of the manufactured things, the fundamental technique-problems about the composition of ZnS powder, the introduction of impurity, the formation of thin-thickness, and the construction of Cell, etc were solved gradually. 1. The quantity of Cu must commonly be more one order than in the use of Photoluminescence, as a whole 10(-3)gm,atm/mole ZnS is fitted, and Mn suitable in about 10 times of Cu. 2. Yellow color must dope Cu as well as Mn, when the quantity of Cu fixed to a certain amount, in case that the quantity of Mn is decreased, it be turned into Yellow color, if it is increased, it be taken Orange color. 3. In vacuum flowing HzS gas and baking at the moment, it is said that EL of which brightness is high, but in the air we can secure ZnS : Cu, Cl EL. only. 4. In referring to the conditions 1, 2, 3, I can infer that EL-manufacture if possible in our country.

The purpose of this study was to investgate the current trends of clothing practical use and buying behavior of rural women. Subjects of this study were 200 women residing in 3 rural areas in Korea. The data were obtained through questionnaires which handled by the trained Interviewers, from June in 1997 to July in 1997. Data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, cross∼tabulation, Chi square test. Based on the results of this study findings were as follows. 1.More than half women in rural areas ware jacket with pants as formal wear and T-shirts with pants as casual wear. 2.Planned purchase is more often the case of formal wear than that of casual. What motivates to purchase formal wear turns out to be 'I don't have one' with constant to 'look comfortable' which is predominant in the case of casual wear The evaluative criteria of clothing was " color and design" in the case of formal wear wheres "comfort and fitting" in the case of casual wear. The buying place is usually a market having near location, big and small. As so women in rural areas prefer relatively chief clothing and payed by cash. They tend to be satisfied with what they purchased. In a few case of dissatisfaction, they exchange or return the formal wear, but they repair the casual wear. 3.In the case of formal wear, the price or the ratio of discount is the most important store selection criteria and the store display is the most important information source. Also, they usually purchase clothing for ceremony in the case of formal wear. In the case of formal wear, age makes difference on place and time however buying place is dependent upon income. Education level, on the other hand, makes significant difference in buying time. In the case of casual wear, age, education, income makes difference on buying price, evaluative criteria.

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)
