Atherosclerosis is now viewed as an inflammatory disease of the vascular system. Expression of several chemokines, including monocyte chemoattractant protein(MCP)-1, MCP-4, RANTES(regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted), and interleukin-8(IL-8) are increased in human atherosclerotic plaques compared with normal vessels. They are involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and plaque rupture by activating and directing leukocytes into the atherosclerotic lesions. However, some are involved in homeostatic functions such as normal leukocyte traffic and growth regulation. SDF-la is a multi-functional cytokine that is involved in myelogenesis, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis and injured gastric mucosal regeneration in the gastric ulcer patient. SDF-la is recently shown to be highly expressed in atherosclerotic plaques and a potent platelet agonist. At least in high concentrations, SDF-la may mediate antiinflammatory and matrix stabilizing effects in unstable angina. Many studies are going on to know the function of SDF-la in coronary artery diseases. I investigated the difference of the plasma level of SDF-la between control group and coronary artery disease group. Total 75 subjects were enrolled. The diagnosis of coronary artery disease was confirmed in all patients by coronary angiography. Control subjects in this study were confirmed normal by coronary angiography. Clinical profile and risk factors were also reviewed. Control subjects in this study were 27 (M=10, F=17). Plasma for the study was collected before the angiography and centrifuged. SDF-la analysis was performed by ELISA. Plasma level of SDF-la is significantly increased in patients with stable angina(n=20) and unstable angina group(n=28) compared with healthy control group(n=27). the risk factors do not influence the plasma level of SDF-la in coronary artery diseases. In this study, plasma level of SDF-la is increased in patients with stable angina and unstable angina groups compared with healthy control group(P<0.05). the risk factors do not influence the plasma level of SDF-la in coronary artery diseases.

It is important to know the impacts of acid rain because of soil acidification, reduced biological productivity. Many researchers were interested in regional acid problems, and former research were focued in short-term trends of acid rain. It is not easy to evaluate acid rain problems because of many parameters relating to meteorological factors, which are wind, temperature, humidity and other factors. Rainfall sampling for this study was done from September 1933 to December 2000 in Dong-A University, Busan. All Samples were collected in separately to early fraction and succeeding fraction. Also, the samples were measured for pH, and EC, cations and anions were analysed by ion Chromatography.

Emphasis has recently been laid on the importance of street space that constitutes urban space in stimulating and strengthening the functions of the downtown area In most urban areas, however, street space has deteriorated so much that it reveals barrenness This situation is owing not to the lack of proper understanding about the importance of street space planning, but to the paucity of accumulated study on the correlation between the spatial consciousness of man as the subject of a street space evaluation on the one hand and the constituent elements as the object of spatial formation on the other District unit planning is a social system that is concerned with developing street space It maps out ideal urban space for better urban environment It also aims to better utilize urban space in accordance with the size and complexity of a city The purpose of this thesis is to examine the correlation between urban planning control elements regulating constituent elements of street space and the structure of man's psychological evaluation of the streetscape It explores the influence of physical regulatory elements on the streetscape, thus providing basic data and guidelines for planning a better streetscape It makes a psychological analysis of different applications of controlling elements by employing a semantic differential method and a CG simulation The procedure of my research is first to choose adjectival pairs that describe street space through bibliographical study and preliminary survey, and then to select physical regulatory elements concerning district Unit planning My study also shows the influence of the design control elements of distinct unit planning on the streetscape, by experimenting with those elements by means of CG simulation It examines variables on the axis of psychological factors according to the variation of regulatory elements and the degree of the influence of those variables

Lutembacher's syndrome is rare combination of mitral stenosis (MS) and atrial septal defect (ASD). The hemodynamic interplay between the MS and ASD leads to wide variation of clinical presentation. Here we describe a 43-year-old female with Lutembacher's syndrome and tricuspid regurgitation with pulmonary hypertension, who underwent direct closure of ASD and tricuspid valvuloplasty successfully. We also reviewed other literatures in an effort to increase awareness of this condition.

지능 제어기를 구현하기 위한 한 방법으로 본 논문은 퍼지 논리와 신경망 제어기법을 합성 결합한 새로운 형태의 FNC(Fuzzy-Neural Controller)와 적응 뉴럴-퍼지 제어 방식을 제안한다. 제안되는 뉴럴-퍼지 시스템은 적응성과 학습능력의 두가지 주요한 기능을 갖는다. 먼저 FNC에서의 퍼지 규칙의 전건부와 후건부는 클러스터링 방법과 다층신경망에 의해 구현된다. 그리고 MNN(Model Neural Network)에서의 다층신경망은 수학적 모델링이 어려운 플랜트의 상태를 동정하는데 도입하고 동적인 환경에 적응하도록 제어기에 교사 신호를 제공한다. FNC와 MNN으로 구성된 적응 제어시스템은 학습 알고리듬으로 역전파 학습 알고리듬이 사용된다. 제안된 방식의 효용성은 2 d.o.f 로보트 매니퓰레이터와 cart-pole의 모의 실험으로 입증된다. As an approach to develope the intelligent control scheme, this paper will propose an adaptive neural-fuzzy control scheme. The proposed neural-fuzzy control system, which consists of the Fuzzy-Neural Controller(FNC) and Model Neural Network(MNN), has two important characteristics of adaptation and learning. In the FNC, the antecedence and consequence of the fuzzy rule are constructed by a clustering method and a multi-layer neural network. And in the MNN, a multi-layer neural network is utilized to identify a unknown controlled plant and provides the FNC with the teaching signal. After constructing the adaptive control system using the FNC and the MNN, the error back propagation algorithm has been adopted as a learning technique. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme will be demonstrated by computer simulations of a cart-pole and a two d.o.f. robot manipulator.

Stenosis of central vein is a common complication arising after percutaneous subclavian vein catheter insertion performed for temporary vascular access in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis. There are several treatment methods for the condition like percutaneous angioplasty(PTA), stent insertion, and surgery, but recent trend is toward PTA and stents. Among the patients diagnosed with chronic renal failure from March 1993 to May 2002 and undergoing hemodialysis through AV fistula, the 14 Patients in whom central vein stenosis arose were selected for the study. A total of 28 percutaneous interventions(5 PTA and 23 stent placement) were performed, and restenosis rate and the time taken till the restenosis in de novo lesions and instant lesions were compared. All 28 cases were operated successfully. The 14 cases that received both anigioplasty and stent placement initially. (de novo lesion : 14 cases), Among the 10 cases with de novo lesion that followed up more than 1 year, 3 cases are currently undergoing hemodialysis without restenosis, and the remaining 7 cases have recurred stenosis with the mean time to restenosis of 10.9 months. In the 7 cases in whom stenosis recurred, 11 interventions were done(instent lesion: 11 cases). 4 of these were using only ballon angioplasty with 100% restenosis rate and the mean time of 3 months until restenosis. The remaining 7 cases were using both balloon angioplasty and stent placement, also with 100% restenosis rate but with the mean time of 12 months until restenosis, which was later than the group receiving only balloon angioplasty. In treating the patients with central vein stenosis, stent placement seems to be more advantageous over PTA in terms of restenosis rate and the mean duration of patency. In the case of instent lesion, inserting the stent for the second time after stenosis recurred lengthened the duration of patency compared to performing balloon angioplasty alone.

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.

Seong Hye,Choi Yunsu,Kim Minjeong,Kim Jung Ho,Song Joon Young,김신우,Kim Sang Il,Kim Youn Jeong,Park Dae Won,Park Boyoung,Choi Bo Youl,Choi Jun-Yong 대한감염학회 2023 Infection and Chemotherapy Vol.55 No.1

Background: Owing to antiretroviral therapy (ART), acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related mortality has significantly decreased. Retaining in care is an essential step for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care cascade. This study investigated the incidence of and risk factors for loss to follow-up (LTFU) in Korean people living with HIV (PLWH). Materials and Methods: Data from the Korea HIV/AIDS cohort study (including prospective interval cohort and retrospective clinical cohort) were analyzed. LTFU was defined as not visiting the clinic for more than 1 year. Risk factors for LTFU were identified using the Cox regression hazard model. Results: The study enrolled 3,172 adult HIV patients (median age, 36 years; male 92.97%). The median CD4 T cell count at enrollment was 234 cells/mm3 (interquartile range [IQR]: 85 - 373) and the median viral load at enrollment was 56,100 copies/mL (IQR: 15,000 - 203,992). The total follow-up duration was 16,487 person-years, and the overall incidence rate of LTFU was 85/1,000 person-years.In the multivariable Cox regression model, subjects on ART were less likely to have LTFU than subjects not on ART (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.253, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.220 - 0.291, P <0.0001). Among PLWH on ART, female sex (HR = 0.752, 95% CI: 0.582 - 0.971, P = 0.0291) and older age (>50: HR = 0.732, 95% CI: 0.602 - 0.890; 41 - 50: HR = 0.634, 95% CI: 0.530 - 0.750; 31 - 40: HR = 0.724, 95% CI: 0.618 - 0.847; ≤30: reference, P <0.0001) were associated with high rate of retention in care. The viral load at ART initiation ≥1,000,001 (HR = 1.545, 95% CI: 1.126 - 2.121, ≤10,000: reference) was associated with a higher rate of LTFU. Conclusion: Young and male PLWH may have a higher rate of LTFU, and an increased rate of LTFU may induce virologic failure.

Assessment of Disease Burden and Immunization Rates for Vaccine-Preventable Diseases in People Living with HIV: The Korea HIV/AIDS Cohort Study

Seong Hye,Choi Yunsu,Ahn Kyoung Hwan,Choi Jun Yong,Kim Shin-Woo,Kim Sang Il,Kee Mee-Kyung,Choi Bo Youl,Park Boyoung,Hyun Hak Jun,Yoon Jin Gu,Noh Ji Yun,Cheong Hee Jin,Kim Woo Joo,Song Joon Young 대한감염학회 2023 Infection and Chemotherapy Vol.55 No.4

Background: Prophylactic immunization is important for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients; however, there are insufficient data on the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs), vaccination rates, and factors influencing vaccination. Materials and Methods: The incidence and prevalence of VPDs in HIV-infected patients between 2006 and 2017 were estimated using the Korean HIV/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) cohort database. In addition, we evaluated the vaccination rates and influencing factors for vaccination in HIV-infected patients through multilevel analysis of clinico-epidemiological factors, immune status, and psychological status. A questionnaire survey was conducted among experts to determine whether they recommend vaccination for HIV-infected patients. Results: The incidence rates of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, herpes zoster, and anogenital warts were 1.74, 7.38, and 10.85 per 1,000 person-years, respectively. The prevalence of HBV infection and anogenital warts at enrollment was 4.8% and 8.6%, respectively, which increased to 5.3% and 12.0%, respectively, by 2017. In HIV-infected patients, HBV (21.7% in 2008, 56.3% in 2013, and 75.4% in 2017) and pneumococcal vaccination rates (3.0% in 2015, 7.6% in 2016, and 9.6% in 2017) increased annually, whereas the influenza vaccination rate remained similar by season (32.7 - 35.6%). In the multilevel analysis, peak HIV viral load (≥50 copies/mL: odds ratio [OR] = 0.64, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.44 - 0.93; reference, <50 copies/mL) was an influencing factor for pneumococcal vaccination, while nadir CD4 T-cell counts (200 - 350 cells/mm3: OR = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.38 - 0.76; <200 cells/mm3: OR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.62 - 1.28; reference, ≥350 cells/mm3) was an influencing factor for HBV vaccination. Influenza vaccination was associated with male sex (OR = 1.94) and the number of antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen change (OR = 1.16), but was not significantly associated with HIV viral load or CD4 T-cell counts. Most experts responded that they administer hepatitis A virus, HBV, pneumococcal, and influenza vaccines routinely, but not human papillomavirus (12.9%) or herpes zoster vaccines (27.1%). Conclusion: The burden of vaccine-preventable diseases was quite high in HIV-infected patients. Nadir CD4 T-cell counts, peak HIV viral loads, and the number of ART regimen change are significant factors related to vaccination. Considering the low vaccination rates for VPDs, there was a discordance between experts' opinions and real clinical practice in the medical field.
