Background: Micafungin, a potent inhibitor of 1,3-β-D-glucan synthase, is a novel antifungal agent of the echinocandin class. In vitro study showed that micafungin was effective against Aspergillus species as well as Candida species, but clinical data on the prophylactic efficacy against invasive fungal infections (IFIs) other than candidiasis are still lacking. Materials and Methods: We identified 60 consecutive adult hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients who received at least 3 doses of micafungin during neutropenic period. Micafungin was started as an alternative in patients who were intolerant or had adverse events (AEs) to primary prophylactic antifungal agents. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and analyzed the efficacy and safety of micafungin for prophylaxis against IFIs. Results: The patients either had autologous (n=9) or allogeneic (n=51: 1 syngeneic, 24 sibling, 26 unrelated donor) HSCT. Itraconazole oral solution (n=58) was the most frequently used first line antifungal agent for prophylaxis and was administered for median 11 days. The most frequent cause of switch to micafungin was vomiting (n=42). The duration of neutropenia and micafungin administration was median 13 and 12 days, respectively. A successful outcome was achieved in 45 (75%) patients. Empirical antifungal therapy was initiated in 13 (22%) patients. There were 2 cases (3.3%) of breakthrough fungal infections which comprised a probable invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and a possible invasive fungal sinusitis. There was no case of invasive candidiasis. A total of 53 (88%) patients experienced at least one AE regardless of causality during micafungin administration. The most frequent AEs were hypokalemia, vomiting, diarrhea, and elevated serum aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase. Among the aforementioned AEs, only 1 case of diarrhea could be classified as a probable relation with micafungin when causality was assessed. There was no AEs that caused discontinuation of micafungin. Conclusions: Micafungin seems to be a safe and effective agent for prophylaxis of IFIs including aspergillosis as well as candidiasis in HSCT recipients. However, further large, prospective, and randomized comparative studies are warranted for aspergillosis.

민병구,박찬영,최재순,이혁수,황창모,김삼성,윤걸중,김종원,선경,이경갑,정종태,김원곤 제주대학교 인공심장이식연구소 2001 인공심장 연구 Vol.2 No.1

현재 개발되고 있는 맥동형 이식형 인공심장은 완전이식형 인공심장과 좌심실보조장치 뿐이다. 좌심실보조장치를 장착한 환자의 10~15%가 우심실의 보조를 필요로하고 완전이식형 인공심장의 장착을 위해서는 자연심장을 제거해야하는 상황에서 이식형 양심실보조장치에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구진은 완전이식형 인공심장으로 개발된 한국형 인공심장을 개선하여 양심 실 보조장치를 개발하였다. 양심실보조장치는 이동형 작동기식 미케니즘을 이용하고 있으며 에너지 변환장치와 감속기로 구성된 작동기와 혈액주머니, 그리고 내장형 제어기로 구성되어 있다. 선인장 펌프로 명명된 KAH350은 캐뉼라의 연결을 위한 커넥터를 포함하여 길이 177mm, 폭 164mm, 높이 67 이고 무게 780g이며 최대 심박출량은 5L/min 이다. 양심실보조장치로 개발된 선인장펌프는 좌심실보조장치로도 응용이 가능하다. 이식적합성과 생체적합성을 평가하기 위하여 좌심실보조장치로 5회, 양싱실보조장치로 6회의 동물실험을 수행하였다. 각각 최장 28일간 생존하였으며 11회의 동물실험중 장치의 결함에 의한 것이 3회 있었는데 이들은 모두 전자장치의 결함과 방수처리문제였다. 현재 이식적합성과 일박출량을 향상시킨 KAH400모델이 개발중이다. The types of pulsatile implantable artificial hearts that are on the way of development and have been developed are totally implantable artificial heart and implantable left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Approximately 10% to 15% of all patients Implanted with wearable VADs have required right heart support with another device. And it is reluctant to patient who should remove his or her own heart to be implanted with total artificial heart. These situations drive the development of implantable bi-ventricular assist device (BVAD). The Korean BVAD was develophed by modifying the moving actuator type Korean artificial heart. This electro-mechanical BVAD comprises actuator including energy converter and reduction gear train, blood sacs, and internal motor and energy controllers. The KAH350 which is named as 'Cactus Pump' is 177mm in length, 164mm in width, and 67mm in thickness including connectors and nuts. The weight and maximum cardiac output of Cactus Pump is 780g and 5L/min, respectively. The Cactus Pump that was developed as BVAD could be used as LVAD by attaching compliance caps on the 2 ports of one ventricle. The animal experiments were undergone 5 times for LVAD, and 6 times for BVAD. The best records were 28 days survival in both applications. There were 3 times of device failure and they were all associated with electrical connection and hermetic sealing. The KAH400 that has improved anatomical fitting characterisitcs and stroke volume is on development.

농업용수 수질기준의 문제점 및 개선대책 : 외국사례와의 비교를 통해

김진호,이종식,정구복,윤순강,고문환,심재천,권순국 한국국제농업개발학회 2003 韓國國際農業開發學會誌 Vol.15 No.3

우리나라 농업용수 수질기준과 다른 국가 또는 농업관련 국제기구의 수질기준에 대한 비교분석을 통해 우리나라 농업용수 수질기준의 문제점 도출과 해결방안을 모색코자 본 연구를 수행하게 되었으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 우리나라 농업용수 수질기준은 관개용수 수질기준이 아니고, 수원보호측면의 수질기준이라 할 수 있다. 2. 우리나라 수질기준중 유기물지표가 하천과 호소에 따라 BOD와 COD로 이원화되어 있고, 특히 COD의 경우 산화제로 KMnO4를 사용함으로써 효과적인 유기물지표로 활용할 수 없는 실정이다. 농업용수로의 활용측면에서는 K₂Cr₂O_(7)을 이용한 COD를 기준으로 도입하는 것이 유기물 분해능 및 수중의 유기물지표로 활용하고 있는 국제적 데이터 일치를 위해서도 타당하다. 3. 우리나라 농업용수 수질기준은 캐나다와 FAO에서 제시하고 있는 염류에 대한 기준은 거의 없는 실정이다. 또한 양이온에 대한 기준도 없다. 염류의 기준이 모든 이온 존재의 가능성을 의미하므로, 실험치 및 외국문헌에 의한 1.0dS/m수준을 한계농도로 선정해야 한다. 4. FAO와 캐나다에서 사용하고 있는 축산용수에 대한 수질기준이 없다. 5. 관개용 농업용수가 농업(작물)에 미칠 수 있는 영향을 평가하기 위해서는 수원별로 수질기준이 다른 것이 큰 모순이다. 따라서 관계부처에서는 부처간의 이해를 떠난 수질기준을 설정해야 한다. 6. 우리나라 농업용수 수질기준의 모순점을 극복하기 위해서는 농업의 안전성확보측면 위해 관개용수 수질기준과 축산용수 수질기준을 조속히 제정해야 할 것이다. Present problems and possible solutions on the Water Quality Standards for Agriculture in Korea, were identified in the study. Because the Ministry of Environment made the laws and standards without consulting the agri-scientists, among others, the water quality standards formulated were not suitable standards of FAO, Japan, Canada, and the likes. The BOD and COD are the organic materials indicators. In case of rivers, BOD are set for the indicator. And at reservoirs. COD are set. Especially. COD was analysed using KMnO₄It is not suitable oxidizing agent for COD. Because the oxidic capacity is very low. So, in most developed country, K₂Cr₂O_(7) is usually used to analyze COD. And the salts and cations are not belonged to the Korean Water Quality Standards for Agriculture. The water quality standards for agriculture have big differences among lakes, rivers and groundwater. To apply different standards by resources to evaluate the relationship between water and crops is conflicting. So, to overcome the these problems, the suitable water quality standards for irrigation and livestock should be set.

김종구,박근태,이건,이상준,손홍주 부산대학교 환경문제연구소 1998 環境硏究報 Vol.16 No.-

경상남도 양산천 일대의 토양시료로 부터 toluene을 유일한 탄소원 및 에너지원으로 생육하는 미생물들을 분리하였고, 그 중 toluene의 분해능이 가장 우수한 균주를 선별하여 공시균으로 선택하였다. 공시균의 형태학적, 배양적, 생화학적 및 화학분류학적 제반 특성들을 토대로 분류학적 위치를 검토한 결과 Rhodococcus 속으로 동정되어 편의상 Rhodococcus sp. EL-43P로 명명하였다. Rhodococcus sp. EL-43P는 phenol 및 다양한 phenol 유도체, benzene 등의 방향족화합물 기질에서 생육할 수 있었다. 특히 phenol 분해에 관련된 각종 환경조건을 최적화시키면 실제의 phenol 함유 폐수처리공정에서 충분히 적용가능성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. Rhodococcus sp. EL-43P는 catechol 1,2-dioxygenase의 활성을 가지고 있어 ortho pathway에 의하여 phenol을 분해함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 본 공시균은 toluene dioxygenase의 활성도 가지고 있었다. The microorganisms which degrade toluene as the sole and energy source were isolated from soil around Yangsan river. Among them, the strain EL-43P had the highest toluene degradability and identified as a Rhodococcus sp. according to morphological, cultural, biochemical and chemotaxonomical properties. Rhodococcus sp. EL-43P was able to grow at the various chlorinated phenols such as o-, p-chlorophenol, 2,3-,2,5-, 2,6- and 3,4-dichlorophenol, and benzene, respectively. If detailed phenol degradation conditions are established, the treatment of phenol wastewater using Rhodococcus sp. EL-43P would be possible. Rhodococcus sp. EL-43P had the catechol 1,2-dioxygenase which degrades Phenol derivatives by ortho pathway. This strain also had toluene dioxygenase.

金宗求,朴宣東,朴元煥 동국대학교 한의학연구소 2000 東國韓醫學硏究所論文集 Vol.8 No.2

動物性 脂肪攝取量의 增加, 運動不足, 肥滿, 스트레스의 加重, 高齡化의 增加 等의 原因으로 循環器系疾患의 發病率이 增加하고 있으며, 이러한 循環器系疾患의 危險因子로서 血栓症이 重要하게 대두되고 있다. 특히 최근 문제시되고 있는 狹心症이나 心筋梗塞등의 虛血性 心疾患은 血小板凝集에 의해 일어나는 血栓形成에 起因하고 있다. 韓醫學에서 血栓症은 瘀血의 範疇에 屬하며, 瘀血은 각종 病理的 原因에 의해 발생한 全身性 또는 局所性의 血液循環 障碍 또는 血流停滯와 그에 수반되는 일련의 病症을 나타내며, 驚悸정충, 鼓脹, 積聚, 미하, 癲狂, 中風等의 發病原因이 된다. 또한 瘀血에 의한 각종 症候에는 活血祛瘀劑 또는 驅瘀血劑등이 사용되고 있다. 本 硏究에서는 韓醫學에서 瘀血症으로 惹起되는 여러 가지 症狀의 개선에 사용되는 驅瘀血劑들의 血小板凝集에 미치는 영향을 검색하기 위하여 桂枝茯笭丸(Geijibokryunghwan; GBH) 및 그 構成藥物을 使用하였다. 桂枝茯笭丸은 『금궤요략』에 있는 方으로써 祛邪不傷正하고 調氣寒熱하여 예로부터 驅瘀血劑로 사용되어 왔다. 이에 桂枝茯笭丸 및 그 構成藥劑의 ADP, AA 또는 collagen으로 유도되는 血小板凝集에 대하여 抑制效果를 探索한 結果, 桂枝茯笭丸 및 個別 構成藥物의 血小板凝集抑制作用을 확인하였고, 血小板凝集으로 惹起되는 血栓症등에 桂枝茯笭丸 및 個別 構成藥物은 매우 臨床實驗的 應用價値가 있는 것으로 생각되었다. The cause that the increase of animality fat intakes, under exercise, fatness, adding the stress, advanced age etc., the occurrence rate of the circulation system &sea= has been increased. And the thrombosis importantly came to the front as the risk factor of these circulation system's disease. Nowadays, the ischemic disease has especially discussed, for example the angina or myocardial infarction, originated in thrombosis that came from the platelet aggregation. In the western medicine, as the cure and prevention, using the aspirin or ticlopidine for platelet aggregation suppressant. But in the <Synopsis of the golden chamber : On Pulse, Syndrome Complex and Treatment of Chest Obstruction, Heart Pain and Shortness of Breath>, the curing method must be used properly according to the pectoralgia or heartache's lund, state, grade. The platelet do not attache to the normal hemangioendothelial cell. But when It stimulated by endothelium peronia and so on, it attache to the injury endothelium or rise aggregation between the platelet. On this time, it secrete the platelet aggregation inducer as like ADP, thromboxane A2 from the inside of platelet. So it has first defensive function through the aggregation augment that prevent the celerity consumption of blood. But the activation of abnormal platelet occur the platelet grume and thrombogenesis. So it bring up the occlusive angiosis. so to speak, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, arterial sclerosis. In oriental medicine, the thrombosis in the category of blood stasis and this blood stasis present the generalise or local blood circulation disturbance that generated by all kinds of pathological fact or blood stream retention accompanying with a series of syndrome. As the syndrome, stabbing pain fixed at certain region, squamous and dry skin, fullness and pain of the chest and hypochondrium, firmness and fullness of the lower abdomen, black stool, dark purple tongue or with ecchymoses and petechiae etc.. has been created. And it becomes the pathopoiesis cause that the convulsion and palpitation, severe palpitation. tympanites, the symtom complex with a mass or swelling in the abdomen, insanity, stricken by wind etc.. Moreover, it used the drugs for invigorating blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis or drugs for removing blood stasis for all kinds of syndrome through the blood stasis. And the drugs for activating the blood circulation, such as Salviae Radix, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Persicae Semen, Achyranthis Radx, Cnidii Rhizoma, Carthami Flos are used for that. And it is used to the herbs of insects that has strong effect about the disintergrating blood stasis such as Hirudo, Scolopendrae Corpus, Buthus, Lumbricus etc.. On this study, It used Geijibokryunghwan(GBH) and the consisting herbs to investigate the influence of platelet aggregation about drugs that used to improvement various symptoms created by the thrombosis in oriental medicine. GBH formula has as formula recorded in the <Synopsis of the golden chamber>, action of 'eleminating the evil and not impairment of healthy energy' and 'promoting the flow of QI and cold and heat, so used for the expel blood stasis herbs from the ancient. Therefore we investigated the restraint effect of GBH and the consisting herbs about the platelet agregation induced to the ADP, AA or collagen. The conclusion is following. 1. When it added the aggregation inducer after that it added GBH and individual consisting herbs in the PRP, GBH showed the (+) inhibition effect on the platelet aggregation and it showed the (+) inhibition effect in the individual consisting herbs as like Paeoniae Radix and Moutan Cortex Radicis. 2. It showed the (+), (+,++) inhibition effect on the platelet aggregation in Paeoniae Radix·Hoelen, Paeoniae Radix· Moutan Cortex Radicis, Hoelen· Moutan Cortex Radicis etc. 3. In the aggregation inhibition activating on the difference of density, GBH showed strong ihbition effect to the aggregation state induced to collagen, and it showed the inhibition effect in the individual consisting herbs as like Paeoniae Radix and Moutan Cortex Radicis about the aggregation induced by the collagen. 4. It showed the strong inhibition effect about the aggregation induced by the collagen in Paeoniae Radix·Hoelen, Paeoniae Radix· Moutan Cortex Radicis, Hoelen·Moutan Cortex Radicis etc Like this, as confirm GBH and the individual consisting herb's inhibition effect of platelet aggregation, We considerated that GBH and the individual consisting herbs have practical applicational value of clinical trial in the thrombosis caused by platelet aggregation.

DC/DC 승압 컨버터의 출력 특성 개선을 위한 스너버 회로 설계

김성종,김인혁,정구종,손영익,한병문 明知大學校 産業技術硏究所 2009 産業技術硏究所論文集 Vol.28 No.-

Applications of DC!DC boost converters are increasing recently in many industrial areas including renewable energy sources. High switching frequency of the power semiconductor devices including MOSFET, IGBT causes the EMI noise owing to the large values of dv/dt and di/dt. Since the EMI noises degrade power efficiency and reliability of the system many researches have been made to reduce the noise. This paper presents a passive snubber circuit to improve the tum-on and turn-off transients of the pulsewidth modulated (PWM) DC/DC boost converters. The noises in the output voltage of the DC!DC converter are reduced by adding a resistor and an inductor to the circuit. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed snubber circuit to improve the output characteristics of the boost converter.

구종국,김진수,김재덕 대한구강악안면방사선학회 2008 Imaging Science in Dentistry Vol.38 No.1

Purpose : The primary aims of this retrospective study were to compare subjective bone quality and bone quality based on the Hounsfield scale in different segments of the edentulous jaw, and to establish quantitative and objective assessment of the bone quality. Materials and Methods : Twenty eight randomly selected cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) scans were analyzed. For evaluation one hundred and twelve edentulous areas were selected. Implant recipient sites were evaluated visually for Lekholm and Zarb classification. The same sites were subsequently evaluated digitally using the Hounsfield scale with Vimplant2.0, and the results were correlated with visual classification. Data was subject for statistical analysis in order to determine correlation between recorded HU and the regions of the mouth with the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results : The highest unit/mean density value (311 HU) was found in the anterior mandible, followed by 259 HU for the posterior mandible, 216 HU for the anterior maxilla, and 127 HU for the posterior maxilla. These results demonstrate a strong correlation for HU depending on the region of the mouth (p<0.001). The relationship between HU and type 4 bone was found to be significant (r=0.74). Conclusion : Knowledge of the Hounsfield value as a quantitative measurement of bone density can be helpful as a diagnostic tool by using CBMercuRay with Vimplant software.

평택시에 위치한 펄프 회사에서 탱크 내부를 청소하고자 근로자가 탱크 속으로 들어가는 도중 의식을 잃었다. 펄프제지 과정에서 유기물질의 발효로 인하여 유해한 가스가 발생한다. 발생할 수 있는 가스의 종류에는 이산화탄소(CO₂), 일산화탄소(CO), 암모니아(NH₃), 황화수소(H₂S) 그리고 메틸 머캅탄(methyl mercaptans, CH₃SH) 등이 있다. 작업환경 측정전 이러한 가스들이 존재할 것으로 추정하였으나 실제적으로 황화수소와 일산화탄소만 검출되었을 뿐 암모니아와 메틸 머캅탄은 측정되지 않았다. 그런데 상기 환자들에 있어서 HbCO이 정상 범주이므로 일산화탄소의 중독은 배제할 수 있었다. 따라서 황화수소 중독에 의한 의식소실임을 알 수 있었다. Hydrogen sulfide poisoning is frequently encountered in the workplace. Two workers lost their consciousness In an underground tank at a factory producing paper. The tank contained liquid mixture of used paper, sodium oxygenate chloride (NaOCl), and sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate(Na₂S₂O₃.□H₂O). A worker(worker A; 36-year-old man) entered tank to remove sludge. When worker A lost his consciousness, worker B entered the tank to rescue worker A, however he lost consciousness inside the tank. We discuss in detail the clinical features of this condition. Hydrogen sulfide poisonings have occurred in industries involving petroleum refining, the manufacture of heavy water, tanning of hides, vulcanization of rubber, and the manufacture of rayon. And it is necessary to stress the health education for workers and managers in these industries.
