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.

병원근무자들에 대한 특수건강진단 적용 여부를 판단하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 1995년 3월 10일부터 4주간에 걸쳐 부산시내에 위치하는 2개 종합병원 근무자 830명을 대상으로 설문조사를 시행해 얻은 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 조사된 43개 항목 중 10% 이상의 대상자가 유해요인에 폭로되고 있다고 응답한 항목은 소음, 분진 등 16개 항목이었다. 이 중 분진, 소음 및 스트레스는 연구대상자의 50%이상에서 폭로되고 있다고 응답했으며 그 외 알콜류 소독제(41.3%), 방사선(34.6%), 일반약제(33.3%)의 순으로 폭로되고 있었고 VDT의 경우 25.2%, aldehyde류는 18.7%에서 폭로되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 대상자의 63.1%에서 병원근무 환경 중에 유해인자가 존재한다고 응답했고 병원의 환경측정이 필요하다고 대답한 사람은 80%에 달했다. 35.7%가 유해인자에 대한 교육을 받은 적이 없다고 응답했다. 전체 응답자의 35.7%가 유해인자에 폭로시 보호 장비를 착용하지 않는다고 응답했고 주기적인(격년) 건강진단은 48.6%에서 받는 것으로 조사되었다. 근무부서의 환기상태는 7.2%만이 좋은 편이라고 응답했다. 이상에서 살펴본 바와 같이 병원근무자들이 여러 가지 유해환경에 노출되고 있고 또, 이로 인해 발생할 수 있는 건강장해에 대한 예방대책이 소홀한 것으로 나타나 병원의 작업환경측정의 시행이 필요하고 이 결과를 바탕으로 병원근무자들에 대한 특수건강진단 적용여부를 결정해야 할 것이다. This study was performed to decide the possibility of special health examination to the hospital employees. We carried out questionnaire survey for 830 subjects at 2 general hospitals located in Pusan city. The summary of this study are as follows. 1. Above 10% of total hospital employees were replied that they exposed to 16 hazard items, such as dust, noise, stress and etc. Among them, over 50% of hospital employees exposed to dust(69.8%), noise(52.3%), stress(60.1%). And hospital employees exposed to alcoholic disinfectant(41.3%), radiation(34.6%), drug(33.3%), VDT(25.2%), and aldehyde(18.7%) also. 2. 63% of the hospital employees replied that there were hazardous factors in hospital environments, and 80% insisted the necessity for hospital environment measuring. 35.7% of respondents replied that they had never taken the education about hazardous factors. 35.7% of the total respondents answered that they didn't use protective equipment when exposed to hazardous factors. And 48.6% answered they took periodic health examination. Only 7.2% replied that ventilation condition of office room was proper. As shown in above results, hospital employees are exposed to various hazards, and turn out neglecting to health problems caused these hazardous factors. So at first, it is necessary to measuring hospital working environment, and then will be decided the possibility of special health examination to the hospital employees.

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.

발열이 동반된 호중구감소증 환자에서 초기경험적 치료제로서 cefepime은 선택될 수 있다.Cefepime 단독요법은 ceftazidime 단독요법과 비교하여 동등한 임상적 성공률을 보였으나, 향후 더 많은 환자를 대상으로 한 비교연구 및 자료의 보충이 필요하다 하겠다. Background : In view of the recent trend toward monotherapy in the treatment of bacterial infection, we evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of cefepime versus ceftazidime for the empiric treatment of febrile episodes in cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. METHODS : A prospective, double-blind, randomized study of cefepime 2g every twelve hours and ceftazime 2g every eight hours was performed in 40 adult neutropenic (absolute neutrophil count 〈500/㎣) cancer patients with fever. RESULTS : Forty patients were evaluable. Median duration of neutropenia was 11.5 days in cefepime and 10.5 days in ceftazidime. Treatment was successful in (60%)(12/20) of cefepime-treated patients and (65%)(13/20) of ceftazi야me-treated patients. Overall mortality was 10%(2/20) of cefepime-treated patients and 15% of ceftazidime-treated patients. CONCLUSIONS : Cefepime appears to be as effective as ceftazidime in the initial treatment of febrile episodes in adults cancer patients with chemotherapy-associated neutropenia of modest duration.

Background and Objectives : High volume, low pressure (HVLP) cuffed tubes have been substituted for low volume, high pressure (LVHP) cuffed tubes in order to reduce complications created by the cuffed endotracheal tubes contact with the tracheal wall. Several physidans, however, prefer to use the LVHP cuff for habitual or economic reasons. Even so, careless cuff Inflation of the HVLP cuff could also induce complications. The purposes of this study were to see whether there are any differences between the usual intracuff pressure (UICP) and the Optimum intracuff pressure (OICP), to compare the OICP of three groups, and to study the correlation between the OICP and the peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) of three kinds of endotracheal tubes under mechanical Ventilation. Methods : 82 adult patients, upon admission of the ICU, were divided into 3 groups with different cuffed tube types according to the following: Portex Profile group (n=66), HVLP cuffed tube; Portex Regular group (n=11), LVHP cuffed tube; Rusch Red group (n=5), LVHP cuffed tube. We used the Portex cuff pressure manometer for Portex Profile group, the Hewlett-Packard pressure transducer for Portex Regular, and Rusch Red group to measure the intracuff pressure (ICP). The OICP was measured with the minimal leak technique (MLT). Intracuff pressure difference (ICPD) was calculated by subtracting OICP from UICP. Results : UICP and OICP of Portex Profile group were 33.12±22.25 ㎝H₂O, 22.02±12.5㎝H₂O, Portex Regular group, 70.09±30.88 ㎝H₂O, 69.45±30.41 ㎝H₂O and Rusch Red group, 378.40±38.60 ㎝H₂O, 337.60±74.45 ㎝H₂O. Significant difference was shown among the groups (p < 0.05). The significant difference of the PIP was not seen among the groups. Significant correlation between OICP and PIP (regression = 0.463, p < 0.01) was demonstrated only in Portex Profile group. ICPD of three groups were as high as 84 ㎝H₂O to as low as -56 ㎝H₂O. About 40% of the patients showed the allowable range. Conclusions : This study suggests that routine check-ups of ICP are needed when the patients are admitted to the ICU. The OICP of the HVLP cuffed tube is 1/3 -1/15 of the LVHP cuffed tube. Therefore, the routine use of the HVLP tube is highiy recommended. The OICP shows positive correlation with the PIP. This suggests to make every effort to reduce the PIP.
