Competitive ELISA methods were used to measure the level of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) from urine in 1008 Korean adults. Subjects were selected by random sampling in all areas of Korea, except Cheju-do. The recovery rate of AFM1 using this method was 105% (73-124%). The geometric mean of urinary AFM1 in all subjects was 3.43 pg/mL (3.67 ng/g creatinine). The level of AFM1 in males was statistically higher, compared with female subjects. However, the levels of AFM1 did not differ according to age. Subjects in Chungbuk-do showed the highest urinary AFM1 concentration, whereas subjects in Kyeongnam-do showed the lowest concentration. Assuming an excretion rate of 5%, this AFM1 excretion corresponds to approximately 0.1 microgram/day in Korean adults.

초등교사의 교육과정 이야기

김세영 ( Se Young Kim ),정광순 ( Gwang Soon Jung ) 한국교육과정학회 2014 교육과정연구 Vol.32 No.2

교사의 교육과정 가능성 영역은 ‘수업→교육과정 자료(교과서)→교육과정→학문 자료’로, 교사는 이 영역들을 넓혀가면서 교육과정을 경험하고, 이 경험 과정에서 교육과정 가능성을 발휘한다. 이 연구는 한 교사의 교육과정 이야기를 통해서 교사가 실감하는 교육과정, 교사가 발휘하는 교육과정 가능성의 실체가 무엇인지 탐구하는데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위해서 김 교사가 교육과정을 경험한 것을 3개의 장면(교사로서 경험한 교육과정, 교과서 개발자로서 경험한 교육과정, 예비교사를 가르치는 강사로서 경험한 교육과정)으로 구분하여 김교사의 교육과정에 대해 이야기하였다. 각 장면서 김교사가 실감한 교육과정이 무엇이었는지, 김교사가 발휘한 교육과정 가능성이 무엇인지 서술하였다. 그리고 교사의 교육과정 이야기는 교사의 교육과정 및 교육과정 가능성, 교육과정 문해력에 필요한 요소를 이해하는데 필요하다는 점을 제시하였다. Teachers` curriculum potential ranges from instruction (e.g., from textbooks), curriculum to scholarly materials. A teacher should extend this range while experiencing the curriculum, then the teacher can maximize the curriculum potential. This study aim to discover the curriculum potential that teachers can develop via storytelling about curricula, as well as what the true nature of curriculum is, based on a teacher`s own experience. For this purpose, I reconstructed Kim`s storytelling in three parts: as a teacher, as a textbook developer, and as a lecturer. In each part, I described what the curriculum Kim experienced was and what the curriculum potential was that Kim practiced. (What is the teacher`s story about curriculum?). A teacher`s curriculum story provides a deeper understanding of teacher`s curriculum awareness, curriculum potential, and the elements of curriculum literacy.

Most patients with aplastic anemia who do not respond to immunosuppressive treatment or are not candidates for bone marrow transplantation die of infection or bleeding. The neutropenia in acute leukemia, aplastic anemia, or occurring subsequently to chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation increases susceptibility to infection. In general, the number of infectious episodes correlate with the degree and duration of neutropenia. Global immunosuppression produced by conditioning for bone marrow transplantation or graft-versus-host disease, is associated with unusual bacterial and fungal pathogens, or serious viral and protozoan infections. In addition, repeated treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics is associated with the emergence of resistant organisms and fungal diseases because of the altered microbial microenvironment of the host. The incidence of invasive fungal infection caused by Saccharomycetes eerevisiae in immunosuppressed patients is very rare, compared with that of infection by candida or aspcrgillus species. Cases of Saccharomycetes cerevisiae fungemia occurring in the course of treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics are reported in patients with extensive burn or with prosthetic valve endocarditis. We experienced a case of urinary tract infection by Saccharomycetes cerevisiae in a 27-year old female patient with severe aplastic anemia. We report the case with a review of relevant literatures.

ON THE SUPERSTABILITY OF THE PEXIDER TYPE SINE FUNCTIONAL EQUATION

Gwang Hui Kim 충청수학회 2012 충청수학회지 Vol.25 No.1

The aim of this paper is to investigate the superstabil-ity of the pexider type sine(hyperbolic sine) functional equation f(x + y)2 - (x + ¾y)2 2 2 = ¸g(x)h(y); ¸ : constant which is bounded by the unknown functions (x) or (y). As a consequence, we have generalized the stability results for the sine functional equation by P. M. Cholewa, R. Badora, R. Ger, and G. H. Kim.

SUPERSTABILITY OF THE GENERALIZED PEXIDER TYPE EXPONENTIAL EQUATION IN ABELIAN GROUP

Kim, Gwang Hui The Kangwon-Kyungki Mathematical Society 2012 한국수학논문집 Vol.20 No.2

In this paper, we will prove the superstability of the following generalized Pexider type exponential equation $${f(x+y)}^m=g(x)h(y)$$, where $f,g,h\;:\;G{\rightarrow}\mathbb{R}$ are unknown mappings and $m$ is a fixed positive integer. Here G is an Abelian group (G, +), and $\mathbb{R}$ the set of real numbers. Also we will extend the obtained results to the Banach algebra. The obtained results are generalizations of P. G$\check{a}$vruta's result in 1994 and G. H. Kim's results in 2011.

THE STABILITY OF PEXIDERIZED COSINE FUNCTIONAL EQUATIONS

Kim, Gwang Hui The Kangwon-Kyungki Mathematical Society 2008 한국수학논문집 Vol.16 No.1

In this paper, we investigate the superstability problem for the pexiderized cosine functional equations f(x+y) +f(x?y) = 2g(x)h(y), f(x + y) + g(x ? y) = 2f(x)g(y), f(x + y) + g(x ? y) = 2g(x)f(y). Consequently, we have generalized the results of stability for the cosine($d^{\prime}Alembert$) and the Wilson functional equations by J. Baker, $P.\;G{\check{a}}vruta$, R. Badora and R. Ger, and G.H. Kim.

To assess the possibility and usefulness of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA₁c) as a screening tool for measuring stress; single-item for stress, BEPSI(Brief Encounter Psychosocial Instrument), PWI(Psychosocial Wellbeing-Index), FBS(Fasting Blood Sugar) and other demographic variables were assessed in 89 healthy male workers at periodic health examination. HbA₁c was not correlated with any kind of stress scores used in this study, but correlated with age(r=0.226). The single-item for stress, BEPSI, PWI were correlated each other(p<0.05). This result suggests well-organized brief questionnaire for stress might be enough to evaluate the stress level of workers in periodic health examination.

당뇨병성 합병증을 가진 환자에서 혈중 Erythropoietin 농도

김동규,유기동,허광식,김상용,윤성호,조영신,권용은,김태원,김건영,정종훈,배학연 朝鮮大學校 附設 醫學硏究所 1998 The Medical Journal of Chosun University Vol.23 No.1

연구 배경 : 고혈당성에 의한 산화환원반응 이상(가저산소증)이 조절 되지않는 당뇨병의 특징으로 혈관과 신경 기능에 대한 진성 저산소증의 효과와 유사하며, 당뇨 합병증의 병태생리에 중요한 역할을 한다. 고혈당이 있는 인슐린 비의존형 당뇨병 환자에서 인슐린 수준이 정상이듯이, 빈혈이 있는 당뇨병 환자에서 EPO의 농도는 실제 혈색소 농도의 감소비율과 차이가 있을 것이라 추측된다. Friedman 등은 당뇨병성 합병증 원인 인자로 가저산소증(pseudohypoxia) 또는 저산소증(hypoxia)을 제기하였고 이런 인자들이 EPO의 상대적 또는 절대적 결핍에 의한 것임을 보고하였다. 방법 : EPO-Trac^(TM 125)I RIA kit을 이용하여 방사면역측정법으로 EPO 수준을 검사하였다. 전혈 3㎖을 5-10㎖ 시험관에 정맥 채혈하였으며, 용혈과 장기간의 보존을 위하여 원심분리를 즉시 시행하여 혈청을 영하 200C에서 냉동 보관 후 일괄적으로 검사 결과를 얻었다. 결과 : 1996년 9월부터 1997년 2월까지 조선대학교 부속병원 내과에 입원한 2형 당뇨병 환자 63례를 대상으로 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 당뇨병성 합병증이 없는 군과 있는 군간의 혈색소, 혈중 EPO농도의 차이는 유의한 차이가 있었으며 혈색소의 감소율보다 혈중 EPO의 감소율이 더 높았다. 2) 당뇨병성 망막증의 유무에 따른 혈색소 농도의 차이는 유의한 차이가 없었으나 혈중 EPO농도는 유의한 차이가 있었다. 증식성군에서만 혈중 EPO의 감소비율이 혈색소에 비해 높았다. 3) 당뇨병성 신증의 유무에 따른 혈색소, 혈중 EPO농도는 유의한 차이가 있었고 혈색소 감소율에 비해 EPO농도의 감소율이 높았다. 신증의 중증도에 따른 혈색소, EPO의 차이는 미세알부민뇨군을 제외하고는 유의한 차이를 보였고 혈색소 감소율에 비해 EPO의 감소율이 더높았다. 4) 당뇨병성 신경병증의 유무에 따른 혈색소 농도의 차이는 유의한 차이가 없었으며 EPO농도는 유의한 차이를 보였다. 혈색소와 EPO의 감소비율은 비슷하였다. 신경병증의 중등도에 따른 혈색소와 EPO농도의 변화는 유의한 차이가 없었으나 stage 3에서는 혈색소감소율보다 EPO감소율이 더높았다. 결론 : 당뇨병성 합병증을 가진 환자에서 빈혈의 정도는 대부분 혈청 EPO치의 절대적 감소에 의함을 간접적으로 밝혀낼 수 있었으며 차후 더 많은 대상으로 비교 분석이 필요하리라 사료된다. Background: Hyperglycemic-induced redox(pseudohypoxia) imbalance is a characteristic feature of poorly controlled diabetes that mimics the effects of true hypoxia on vascular and neural functions and plays an important role on the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. As is true for apparently "normal" insulin levels typically found in NIDDM even in the presence of hyperglycemia, a "normal" erythropoietin level in an anemic diabetic subject may be disproportionally low for the actual red cell mass. Therefore, Friedman et al suggested that pseudohypoxia or hypoxia as an etiological factor of diabetic complications are due to absolute or relative erythropoietin deficiency Method: EPO-TracTM 125I RIA kit was used for the quantitative determination of erythropoietin(EPO) in serum by radioimmunoassay. An adequate sample of blood (3ml whole blood) was collected aseptically by venipuncture in a 5~10ml glass tube to yield a minimum of 400 L of serum per assay. The serum was promptly removed from the clot by centrifugation in order to avoid hemolysis. Then to increase its storage time it was frozen at -200C in a nonself defrosting freezer. Finally, tests were undertaken simultaneously Results We studied 63 cases with diabetes mellitus, who were admitted to Chosun University Hospital from September, 1996 to February, 1997 at the Department of Internal Medicine. We defined the control group, as diabetic patients who did not have anemia(<13mg/dl), diabetic complications(retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy) and the remainders were defined as the experimental group(we excluded anemic patients, who had secondary causes of anemia and diabetic patients with end stage renal disease)Data were as follow 1) The relationship of Hb and the 24hr urine protein between diabetic patients with and without complications significantly differed(p=0.02, < 0.001 respectively), but the Hb level was poorly related between diabetic patients with and without retinopathy(except in preproliferative, proliferative subgroups) and neuropathy. 2) Subgroups of patients with diabetic complications had higher 24hr urine protein than patients without diabetic complications, except stage I diabetic neuropathy 3) The EPO level was significantly different between diabetic patients with and without complications. 4) The correlation between EPO and Hb was significantly different, especially in diabetic patients with retinopathy and nephropathy according to severity of diabetic complications, compared with patients who did not have diabetic complications such as retinopathy and nephropathy. Conclusion: We know that anemia induced by diabetic complications is due to relative EPO deficiency than absolute EPO deficiency, and further evaluation and studies are needed on many cases in the future

김현수,이정호,이정찬,강정현,곽상혁,김철희,배광봉,김종숙,조덕연,김삼용 충남대학교 의과대학 지역사회의학연구소 1998 충남의대잡지 Vol.25 No.1

The incidence of hematologic disorders in patients with Down's syndrome is significantly increased, about 14∼30 - fold higher than in general population and includes neonatal transient abnormal myelopoieis and acute leukemias. The age of onset of leukemia in Down's syndrome is peaking first in the newborn period and then under 4 years of age. Down's syndrome with acute leukemia above the age of 20 is very rare and it's treatment oucome is unclear. The treatment of Down's syndrome with leukemia has been controversial because of toxicity and associated congenital cardiac and other abnormalities. But if treated adequately, children with Down's syndrome show a favorable response to anti-leukemia therapy. A 24-year-old man with Down's syndrome was first seen for the evaluation of anemia and thrombocytopenia. The peripheral blood morphology and bone marrow study revealed acute myelogenous leukemia, cytogenetic study of bone marrow showed trisomy 21. Beacuse of his sicioeconomic condition and medical abnormalities including deafness, visual loss, he was treated with low dose subcutaneous cytosine arabinoside(Ara-C) for 11 days. Complete remission was obtained after 37 days. The complete remission lasted for 5 months. He subsequently relapsed, and died 6 months later.
