Background: The number of elderly patients with end-stage kidney disease has been increasing, but the outcomes of kidney transplants (KT) remain poorly understood in elderly patients. Therefore, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of elderly KT recipients and analyzed the impact of elderly donors. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent KT between 2000 and 2019. KT recipients were divided into four groups according to a combination of recipient and donor age (≥60 or <60 years); elderly recipients: old-to-old (n = 46) and young-to-old (n = 83); young recipients: old-to-young (n = 98) and young-to-young (n = 796). We compared the risks of mortality, graft failure, and acute rejection between groups using Cox regression analysis. Results: The incidence of delayed graft function, graft failure, and acute rejection was not different among groups. Annual mean tacrolimus trough level was not lower in elderly recipients than young recipients during 10-year follow-up. Mortality was significantly higher in elderly recipients (p = 0.001), particularly infection-related mortality (p < 0.001). In multivariable Cox regression analysis, old-toold and young-to-old groups had increased risk of mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 2.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14– 7.32; p = 0.03; aHR, 3.06; 95% CI, 1.51–6.20; p = 0.002). However, graft failure and acute rejection risks were not increased in elderly recipients. Conclusion: In elderly recipients, graft survival and acute rejection-free survival were not inferior to those of young recipients. However, mortality, especially risk of infection-related death, was increased in elderly recipients. Thus, low immunosuppression intensity might help decrease mortality in elderly recipients.

Jeon, Eun-Chae,Lee, Je-Ryung,Je, Tae-Jin,Choi, Doo-Sun,Ham, Young-Bog,Lee, Eung-Sug,Choi, Sang-Kyu,Kim, Hwi Korean Society for Precision Engineering 2014 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.15 No.11

A COB(chip-on-board) LED(light emitting diode) system has advantages such as low cost and good heat dissipation. LED chips are bonded on PCB(printed circuit board) directly without packaging process in case of COB LED systems. Dome lenses made of polymeric resin are generally covered on the bonded LED chips by air dispensing for preventing mechanical damage and making white light. However, it is hard to control the shape of dome lenses precisely due to viscosity of the polymeric resin. We analyzed the relationship of the shape of dome lenses and experimental conditions of the air dispensing in this study. We introduced a new parameter, air pressure * dispensing time, whose physical meaning is impulse per unit area, and obtained much clear relationship of dispensing parameters and shape parameters of the dome lens. This relationship was similar to viscoelastic behavior. The aspect ratio (height over diameter) was increased as the new parameter increased, and was converged to a certain value. The maximum aspect ratio could be calculated by Young's equation of contact angle.

Signalment: An 8-month-old female Alaskan malamute was presented for progressive cluster seizure disorder. Results: There were no abnormalities on neurological examination, survey radiographs, or blood analysis. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and computed tomography revealed extension of the olfactory bulb and frontal lobe into the nasal cavity. They also confirmed abnormal anatomy of the nasal turbinates within the rostral part of the nasal cavity and the absence of a cribriform plate. On T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images, the herniated brain showed heterogeneous and hyperintense signals consistent with intraparenchymal edema. Transverse MR images showed brain herniation into the right frontal cavity and an asymmetrical lateral ventricle because of a left midline shift. On contrast-enhanced MR images, the protruding brain parenchyma was mildly enhanced. Ethmoidal encephalocele was suspected as the final diagnosis. Despite symptomatic treatment, the dog continued to exhibit seizures and was euthanized. Clinical relevance: Ethmoidal encephalocele is a rare disease in dogs. However, it could be considered as a cause of seizure in young dogs.

Background : Arterial blood gas analysis is the most comon exam in intensive care unit. In this study, the frequency of blood gas analysis and the amount of blood loss after Blood Gas Analysis in Intensive Care Unit were observed. Methods : From November 1999 to February 2000, 115 patients admitted to intensive care unit at Soonchunhyang university Kumi hospital were studied prospectively for the frequency of blood gas analysis and the amount of blood loss after blood gas analysis in Intensive Care Unit. Results : The mean value of frequency of blood gas analysis was 6.41±6.49 and the mean value of amount of blood loss after blood gas analysis was 0.78ml. This was lower than that of other foreign reports. The patients with ventilator therapy above 24 hours showed higher frequency of blood gas analysis than that of not applied ventilator patients. Pulse oxymetry was applied to all patients and the frequency of blood gas analysis was decreased due to the use of strict pulse oxymetry. Conclusion : Doctors and nurses in intensive care unit keep in mind that adequate blood sampling is needed for the decrease of blood loss. Education and protocol for the decrease of blood loss after arterial blood gas analysis may be necessary.

목 적 : 산후우울증의 발생은 출산 직후부터 1년까지 지속될 수 있고 출산 이후에도 오랜 기간동안 발생 가능성이 있으며, 산후우울증을 단순히 선행하는 감정적 문제, 통제 소재, 사회적지지, 출산과 동반된 생리적 변인만으로 설명할 수 없다. 그러므로 산후우울증은 출산후 산모-영아 상호관계에서 겪게되는 어려운 영아의 기질, 산모가 영아를 양육하면서 겪게되는 양육 스트레스, 그리고 산모의 대처 방식과 연관이 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 산후우울증과 영아 기질, 양육 스트레스, 대처방식을 변인으로 하여 산후우울증과의 연관성을 평가하기위해 산후의 우울성향과 각 변인의 관계를 연구하였다. 방 법 : 연구의 대상은 1996년 7월 16일부터 8월 27일까지 인제 대학교 의과대학 부속 상계백병원 소아과 외래에 예방 접종을 위해 내원한 4개월에서 12개월 사이의 영아를 둔 산모 105명을 대상으로 하였다. Beck우울척도(BDI), 영아기질척도(EAS), 부모 양육스트레스 목록표(PSI), 대처방식척도(WCC)를 사용하여 산후의 우울성향과 이들 변인과의 연관성을 평가하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 결 과 : 1) 어머니의 우울성향 점수는 영아의 기질중 부정적 정서성(r=.26 p<0.05), 과도한 활동성(r=.22 p<0.05)과 유의미한 상관 관계를 보였다. 영아의 사회성 척도와는 부적 상관이 있었으나 통계적으로 유의미하지는 않았다. 2) 어머니의 우울성향 점수는 양육 스트레스와는 정적 상관관계가 있었다(r=.44 p<0.001). 3) 어머니의 우울성향 점수와 대처방식과 유의미한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 4) 영아의 부정적 정서성과 양육 스트레스는 정적 상관관계가 있었으나(r=.49 p<0.001) 사회성, 활동성과의 상관관계는 유의미하지 않았다. 양육 스트레스와 대처방식과도 통계적으로 유의미한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 결 론 : 본 연구 결과, 산모의 산후 우울성향과 첫째, 영아 기질 중 정서성과 활동성이 연관관계가 있고 둘째, 양육스트레스와 연관이 있으나 세째, 대처방식과는 연관이 없었다. 이런 결과는 산후의 우울성향과 각 요인과의 연관성을 살펴볼 때 산후우울증에 더 중요한 영향을 미치는 것은 산모의 대처 방식이라는 어머니 측의 변인보다는 출산과 동반된 양육 스트레스 혹은 영아의 어려운 기질일 것이라고 추론할 수 있다. Objectives : This Study examined the relationship of depressive tendency in postpartum women with psychosocial factors such as infant temperament, parental stress and coping style. Methods : The subjects consisted of 05 postpartum women, each of whom had an infant aged 4 to 12 months. They were assessed on demographic variables and on measures of the depressive symptomatology, infant temperament, parental stress and the coping style using Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), the EAS temperamental survey, Parenting Stress Index(PSI), the Way of Coping Checklist(WCC). And then we assessed the relationship of depressive tendency in postpartum women with psychosocial factors. Results : The results were as follows : 1) Depressive tendency in postpartum women had significant relationship with emotionality(r=.26 p<0.05) and activity(r=.22 p<0.05) of infant temperament. 2) Depressive tendency in postpartum women had significant relationship with parenting stress(r=.44 p<0.001). 3) Depressive tendency in postpartum women had no significant relationship with coping style. 4) Parental stress had significant relationship with emotionality(r=.49 p<0.001) but did not have any relationship with sociability and activity of infant temperament. Parenting stress had no significant relationship with coping style. Conclusion : These results suggest that depressive tendency in postpartum women correlated with emotionality and activity of infant temperament correlated with parenting stress but not correlated with coping style. Infant temperament and parenting stress to child rearing are more significantly correlated with depressive tendency in postpartum women than coping style of postpartum women.

We have used Visual Image Tracing(VIT) strain measurement system coupled with a micro tensile testing unit to test thickness and microstructure dependent mechanical behavior of Au film. The advantage using this method is to monitor the real time images of specimen during the test in order to determine its Young’s modulus, yield strength and tensile strength. 0.5, 1 and 2 ㎛ thick films were deposited by sputtering system. Free standing films were prepared through lithography and etching processes. Au films were annealed at 300℃ and 350℃ to achieve microstructure evolution and Focus ion beam (FIB SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed to characterize grain sizes of films. Thickness and grain sizes dependent mechanical behavior such as stress-strain curve, Young’s modulus and yield strength of Au thin film will be presented.

Background/Aims: The recently published Oxford classification of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) proposed a split system for histological grading, based on prognostic pathological features. This new classification system must be validated in a variety of cohorts. We investigated whether these pathological features were applicable to an adult Korean population. Methods: In total, 69 adult Korean patients with IgAN were analyzed using the Oxford classification system at Soonchunhyang University Hospital, Seoul, Korea. All cases were categorized according to Lee`s classification. Renal biopsies from all patients were scored by a pathologist who was blinded to the clinical data for pathological variables. Inclusion criteria were age greater than 18 years and at least 36 months of follow-up. We excluded cases with secondary IgAN, diabetic nephropathy combined other glomerulopathies, less than 36 months of follow-up, and those that progressed rapidly. Results: The median age of the patients was 34 years (range, 27 to 45). Mean arterial blood pressure was 97 ± 10 mmHg at the time of biopsy. The median follow-up period was 85 months (range, 60 to 114). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed significant prognostic predictions for M, E, and T lesions. A Cox proportional hazard regression analysis also revealed prognostic predictions for E and T lesions. Conclusions: Using the Oxford classification in IgAN, E, and T lesions predicted renal outcome in Korean adults after taking clinical variables into account.

In this study, a vehicle vector using cryptic plasmids was constructed for gene transfer in Helicobacter pylori. pHP51(3.9 kb) and pHP489(1.2 kb) were selected for constructing vectors from cryptic plasmid of H. pylori isolates in Korea. The HindⅢ-digestedDNA fragment(1.2kb) of pHP489 and 1.6kb DNA fragment of pHP51 were ligated with a kanamycin resistance gene(aph3'-Ⅲ) from C. jejuni to produce the recombinant plasmids pHP489K and pHP51K, respectively. Transformation frequency of pHP51K by electroporation was low. But pHP489K could be effectively transformed into various H. pylori strains. In order to design an intermdiate vehicle vector for gene transfer into H. pylori, pBlueHP489K was prepared by recloning pHP489K DNA into pBluescript and pTZ19R vector. This vector permitted the DNA fragment containing pHP489 sequence, aph3'-Ⅲ, and cloned DNA to be cut and self-ligated in the SacⅠ site after cloning. ureA and ureB gene were inserted into pBlueHP489K, resulting in pBlueHP489K/AB. The DNA fragment containing pHP489, kanamycin resistance gene(aph3'-Ⅲ), and urease structural gene was cut away from pBlueHP489K/AB and self-ligated to generate pBlueHP489K/AB. pBlueHP489K/AB made urease-negative H. pylori strains restore their urease activity. By this experiment, pBlueHP489K was confirmed to be the vehicle system for transferring H. pylori genes.
