김수영 시의 죽음의식 분석

김영주 숙명여자대학교 2002 숙명語文論集 Vol.4 No.-

This thesis is to study a consciousness of death in Kim Soo-Young's poems and to review Heidgger's influence on them. In Kim's works are many consciousness of death, which is a main stream of the literary world at that time. In the post-war, the existence becomes the most important matter and Kim Sao-young, who was recruited forcibly, witnesses the other's death and then explores the matter of death deeply. He understands the death as a possibility of an unique being's existence, and realizes that the life and the death coexist in the actuality, which can be understood by exploring the matter of death at first. We, as beings in the worlds, coexist with the other and have close relationship, The death exist with the life, and it is not an object of fear any more. Through the other's death, all of us are closely related to it. Kim Sao-Young emphasizes a language in order to explain the present being, the language is used as an implemental being, and also speaks by itself. A nature of language becomes words and then "the language becomes a home of existence," When the language says words and responses to them, it can be said rightly. However if there is no answer, the present existence will come to an end of its own existence. A human being says words, and he/she listens to a direction in the light of responding to the direction of the language. Therefore Kim rebukes himself for no answer to the language of freedom and justice. Because it is related with death, he cannot respond easily. The understanding about the existence can be made by the nature of language, so the existence which cannot say words is unable to be described existentially and subsistently. Kim shows the death as an ending of the life throughout his poems. The death is a possibility which the present existence can exist. As a human being's existence is based on limited sense of time, he is conscious of time. The ending of time is that of the present existence, and time has a close relationship with the life. Kim tries to explain, with the consciousness of death, a subsistent meaning-a relationship between the language and the present existence of the present existence which exists with the death -and go towards the death.

보완대체의학은 건강증진과 질병예방을 위한 총체적인 접근법의 하나로 환자뿐 아니라 일반인들 사이에서도 이용률이 증가하고 있고, 교육에 있어서도 보완대체요법 관련 교과목을 의학이나 간호학의 정규 교과과정 내에 포함시키는 대학이 늘어남에 따라 미래의 건강관리 제공자인 간호학생들의 보완대체의학에 대한 인식이나 태도를 파악하는 것은 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 Q방법론을 이용하여 보완대체의학에 대한 간호학생의 반응을 유형화하고 구체적인 특성을 파악하고자 시도되었다. 보완대체의학에 대한 간호학생의 반응은 4개로 유형화되었으며, 각 유형은 실용적 확신형, 견제형, 가치 인정형, 제한적 수용형으로 명명하였다. 각 유형의 명명에서 볼 수 있듯이 간호학생들은 인식에서 약간씩은 차이가 있지만 보완대 체의학에 대해 비교적 긍정적인 태도를 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 간호학생들이 보완대체요법에 대해 긍정적인 태도를 보였음을 보고한 Kim (2004), Kim, Erlen, Kim 과 Sok (2006), Uzun과 Tan (2004)의 연구결과와 일치한다고 할 수 있다. 제1유형은 ‘실용적 확신형’으로 보완대체요법의 효과를 단순히 인정하기보다는 실용성에 초점을 맞춘 유형이다. 보완대체요법의 문제점으로 많이 지적되는 것 중의 하나가 사람마다 효과가 다르기 때문에 일률적으로 적용하기 어렵다는 것인데, 제1유형의 대상자들은 이를 오히려 실용적인 측면으로 인식하여, 보완대체요법의 효과는 사람마다 결과가 다르게 나타날 수 있기 때문에 어떤 치료법을 일률적으로 적용하기보다는 자신한테 맞는 보완대체요법을 찾아야 한다고 인식하는 것이다. 또한 제1유형의 대상자들은 보완대체요법에 대해 효과가 없거나 의미 없는 행위이며 의학적 치료를 방해하거나 효과를 믿을 수 없다는 데는 강하게 반대를 했다. 간호학생의 보완요법에 대한 태도를 조사한 Kim (2004)의 연구에서도 보완대체요법이 엉터리 치료법이라는 데에 대해 가장 부정적인 태도를 보임으로써 본 연구결과와 일치한다. 간호학생의 주관성을 조사한 Hwang (2004)의 연구에서는 간호학생의 인식이 세 가지로 유형화되었는데 ‘긍정적 인정형’으로 명명된 사람들은 보완대체요법이 건강의 유지와 증진에 도움이 되며, 면역력을 향상시키고 심리적 지지를 제공하고 몸을 보호하며 안위를 증진시키는 것으로 인식하고, 엉터리 치료법이고 환자의 치유에 방해가 되므로 사용을 피해야 하고 과학적인 근거를 설명할 수 없으므로 신뢰할 수 없다는 데대해서는 강한 반대의 의사를 표함으로써 본 연구에서 ‘실용적 확신형’으로 명명된 대상자들과 유사한 인식양상을 보였다. 본 연구에서의 ‘실용적 확신형’의 사람은 보완대체요법에 대해 쉽게 접근할 수 있고 여러 가지 효과를 한꺼번에 기대할 수 있다는 점에서 좀 더실용적인 면을 강조한 점이 차이라고 할 수 있다. 제2유형은 ‘견제형’으로 보완대체의학의 부작용에 대한 염려와 효과에 대한 정확한 작용기전의 뒷받침을 요구하는 유형으로, Hwang (2004)의 연구에서 보완대체요법은 체계적인 검증 후에 정통적인 치료와 병행해서 사용해야 효과가 있다고 하여 ‘객관적 수용형’으로 명명한 것과 매우 유사하다. 또한 간호사를 대상으로 한Son (2002)의 연구에서 보완대체요법을 현대의학을 보완해주는 치료법으로 고려하면서 과학적인 근거를 확립하는 일이 필요하다고 제시한 것과 일치한다. Ernst (2000)도 보완대체요법을 이용하는 대상자들은 보완대체요법의 안전성과 효율성에 대해서 알고자 하며, 보완대체요법에 대해 건강관리자와 개방적으로 의사소통할 때 안정성이 확립된다고 하여 본 연구의 ‘견제형’ 유형과 유사한 것을 볼 수 있다. ‘견제형’의 사람들은 보완대체요법에 대한 효과가 사람마다 다르게 나타나므로 보완대체요법을 무조건적으로 받아들이기 이전에 임상적인 효율성에 대한 정확한 근거와 과학적인 검증에 관한 많은 연구들이 이루어져야 할 것을 강조한 유형이다. 이러한 견해는 최근 의학이나 간호학 교육에서 근거중심의 행위를 강조하고 있는 것을 반영하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 제3유형은 ‘가치 인정형’으로 보완대체의학에 대해 과학적 신뢰를 갖고 있지는 않지만 보완대체요법의 건강증진에 대한 가치를 인정하는 유형이다. 의사를 대상으로 보완대체요법의 치료 효과에 대한 태도를 분석한 Jang 과 Park (2003)의 연구에서 62.2%는 ‘설명하기는 어렵지만 보완대체요법은 효과가 있다’고 하여 작용기전에 대한 이론적 근거는 부족하지만 치료효과에 대해서는 비교적 긍정적으로 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타나 본 연구 대상자의 ‘가치 인정형’과유사한 태도를 보였다. 또한 초등학교 보건교사를 대상으로 보완대체요법의 문제점에 대한 인식을 조사한 Kim, Kim과 Cho (2007)의 연구에서 40.5%가 ‘과학적인 검증의 부족으로 치료효과가 의심된다’고 지적하였지만 학교보건실무에서 보완대체요법의 적용가능성에 대한 질문에는 72.1%가 ‘가능하다’고 하였으며, 78%가 보완대체요법의 적용이유로 ‘증상완화, 치료보조의 효과’ 때문이라고 답하여 본 연구결과와 유사한 인식을 보였다. 또한 보완대체요법 교과목을 수강한 간호학생들에게 보완대체요법의 치료적 효과에 대해조사한 Kim (2005)의 연구에서도 ‘건강유지증진을 위해 일반 대중들도 보완대체요법을 많이 적용하고 있다’에 대해 5점 만점에 3.7점으로 응답하여 비교적 긍정적 태도를 보였다. 위의 결과들을 종합해 볼 때 보완대체요법이 체계적인 지식체로 인정하기엔 과학적 근거가 부족하지만 신체의 자연 치유력과 면역력을 증가시켜 건강증진에 영향을 미친다는 본 연구의 ‘가치 인정형’과 유사하다고 할 수있다. 제4유형은 ‘제한적 수용형’으로 보완대체의학이 건강증진에 도움이 되고 심리적 안정감을 주는 여러 가지 효과가 있는 반면 부작용이 있을 수 있고 사람마다 효과가 다르게 나타날 수 있으므로 작용기전에 대한 연구도 더 필요하다고 생각하는 유형으로 무조건적으로 수용하기보다는 제한적으로 수용하는 유형이다. 대학생을 대상으로 보완대체요법의 문제점에 대한 인식을 조사한 Gwon 등(2008)의 연구에서 ‘부작용을 예측할 수 없다’가 37.7%로 가장 높았고, 23.2%가 ‘비과학적이다’라고 응답함으로써 자신에게 맞는 보완대체요법을 찾아 효과를 볼 수는 있지만 부작용에 대한 우려, 효과에 대한 객관성 부족 및 작용기전에 대한 체계적 검증의 필요성을 언급한 본 연구에서의 ‘제한적 수용형’ 대상자와 유사한 인식을 보였다. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to grasp the subjectivity of the nursing students toward CAM and put the outcomes into use as basic facts and figures in developing and applying a curriculum associated with CAM. Methods: Q methodology was employed to explore the nursing students` subjectivity from their rank-order statements. For the Q population, individual in-depth interviews and literature research were conducted. Finally, 30 participants completed 40 Q statements. The data were analyzed using the QUANL software package. Results: The current survey that probed into the subjectivity of the nursing students relative to CAM abstracted four categories, namely, practical and convinced type, keep-under-control/wait-and-see type, merit acknowledging type and limitedly accepting type. Conclusion: It is recommended that various educational programs should be developed to shift the awareness of CAM on the part of the nursing students, based on the findings set forth in the current study.

Objectives : Angelicae Radix, the root of Angelica gigas N_AKAI (Umbelliferae) , which has been used to nourish the blood(補血), regulate menstruation(調經), relieve pain and promote bowel movements(崩漏) and activate blood circulation for the treatment of fatigue, headache, constipation and blood troubles in traditional Korean medicine. It's flavour and channel tropism is sweet(甘), pungent(辛), warm(溫), acting on the lung, heart and spleen(肺, 心, 脾). The purpose of study we report here was to determine the neuroprotective effect of Angelica gigas on global ischemia induced by 4-vessel occlusion in Wistar rats. Methods : Angelica gigas extracts was lyphilized after extraction with 85% methanol. We induced 4-VO for 10 minutes and reperfused again. The number of CA1 pyramidal neurons were counted after 7 days of reperfusion under the cresyl violet staining. Results : The results showed that Angelica gigas had significantly neuroprotective effects (100, 250 and 500mg/kg of AR extracts, p<0.001) compared with control group. Each neuroprotective ratio was about 66.1, 79.3 and 78.6% respectively. Immunohistochemical data partially explained the protective effects of Angelica gigas via attenuation of COX-2 induction in hippocampus. Conclusion : Angelica gigas gas neuroprotective effects on the global ischemia induced by 4-vessel occlusion in Wistar rats and the attenuation of COX-2 induction is thought to be its possible mechanism.

Dieulafoy’s lesion is very rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, Deiulafoy’s lesion is exposure of non ulcerative, abnormally large tortuous, thick- walled artery in the muscularis mucosa through a small submucosal defect. It is usullay found on stomach antrum and lesser curvature side of the proximal body, and possibly found on any sites throughout whole gastrointestinal tract, but rarely on rectum. The principal of treating Dieulafoy’s lesion was the surgical resection of lesion, but recently remarkable advances in endoscopic technique make endoscopic approach more popular. We report a case of rectal Dieulafoy’s lesion successfully treated with endoscopic hemoclipping in an elderly female patient.

김주옥,김선영,김관형,서지원,박석영,이종진,박성학 대한감염학회 1995 감염 Vol.27 No.4

목적:폐렴, 기관지염, 만성기관지염에서 fluoroquinolone제제로서 항균력이 강하고, 혈중 반감기가 길고, 객담과 조직내 농도가 높은 sparfloxacin의 안전성과 효과를 enoxacin과 비교하기 위해 본 연구를 시행 하였다. 방법:1994년 10월부터 1995년 4월까지 충남대 부속병원과 대전 성모병원에 내원한 폐렴, 급성기관지염, 만성기관지염이 급성으로 악화된 환자 63명을 대조군(32명)(enoxacin 100 mg 1일 3회 경구투여), 실험군(31명)(sparfloxacin 200mg 1일 1회 경구투여)으로 나누어 임상증상, 세균학적 객담 검사, 혈액검사, 실험실내 항균력검사로 그 치료율 및 안전성을 비교하였다. 결과: 1) 임상종합 평가, 세균학적 균소실, 안전성, 유용성에서 두군간에 의미 있는 차이는 없었다. 2) 시험관내 항균력검사상 MIC가 실험군이 대조군보다 현저하게 낮았다.(p<0.05). 3) 경미한 두통, 식욕감퇴, 상복부 불쾌감, 설사등이 대조군 9예, 실험군 7예에서 발생하였고, 검사실 소견상 SGOT 혹은 SGPT 의 일시적 경미한 상승이 대조군 2명, 실험군 3명에서, 혈중 creatinine 상승이 실험군 2명에서 있었으나 경미하였다. 결론:이상의 결과로 sparfloxacin은 폐렴, 급성기관지염, 만성기관지염의 악화에서 하루 한번 투여로 enoxacin 하루 3번 투여와 유사하게 효과적이고 안전하며, 시험관내 항균력이 enoxacin보다 월등히 우수하여 임상에서도 유용하게 사용될수 있을것으로 생각된다. Background: Sparfloxacin, a new oral quinolone, has a broad spectrum, potent antimicrobial activity, prolonged half life, high concentration in sputum. The clinical efficacy and safety of sparfloxacin have been reported by some previous clinical studies performed in Japan. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the clinical and antimicrobial efficacy of this drug in respiratory tract infections compared to those of enoxacin. Methods:We performed an open controlled, randomized study in 63 patients with acute bronchitis, pneumonia, and exacerbation of chronic bronchitis at Chung Nam University hospital and Dae Jeon St. Mary's hospital from October, 1994 to April, 1995. In the control group(n=32), 100 mg enoxacin was administered orally 3 times a day and in the test group(n=31), 200 mg sparfloxacin once a day. Results: The results were as follows; 1) There were no significant differences between the two groups in clinical efficacy, bacteriological finding, and usefulness. 2) Means and SD of MICs were 0.44±0.89 ㎍/ml in the control group, 0.13±0.24 ㎍/ml in the test group. There was a significant difference in MICs between the two groups(p<0.05). 3) Headache, epigastric discomfort, and loss of appetite were observed in 7 cases of the control group and in 9 cases of the test group, and transient elevations of hepatic enzyme in 2 cases of the control group, and in 3 cases of the test group. There was mild elevation of serum creatinine in 2 cases of the test group. Those laboratory abnormalities by therapy might be associated with their underlying diseases. There were no significant adverse effects caused by the drugs Conclusion:In conclusion, sparfloxacin of 200 mg once a day was as effective and well tolerated as enoxacin of 100 mg three times per day in the treatment of respiratory tract infections. Sparfloxacin is more potent antibiotics because MICs of sparfloxacin were very lower than those of enoxacin.

This study was conducted to evaluate safety to the supporting tissues of the root while the root canal is obturated using continuous wave of condensation technique. A extracted maxillary central incisor was prepared for repeated canal obturation. After conventional access opening, working length was then established to the point 1㎜ from anatomical root apex. The root canal was prepared with GT rotary Ni-Ti file (Dentsply Maillefer, Switzerland). Five thermocouples (Onega Engineering Inc., USA) were placed at 2㎜ increments on one side beginning 1㎜ from the anatomical root apex and the other five thermocouples at 2㎜ increments on the other side beginning 2㎜ from it. For obturation, a nonstandardized medium size gutta-percha cone and a ML Buchanan plugger (Analytic technologies, USA) were selected. After drying of root canal, AH 26 root canal sealer (Dentsply Detrey, Germany) was applied on the wall of the root canal. Baseline temperature was measured on the root surface. The ML size plugger was preheated for 2seconds and then the real temperature of it was recorded before insertion into the root canal. The root canal was obturated with continuous wave of condensation technique as described by Buchanan. The root surface temperature was recorded during obturation and it was performed ten times at each of the following temperature settings: 150℃, 200℃, 250℃ and 300℃. After completion of the temperature recording, the dentinal-cementum thickness at each sites where thermocouples were attached was measured. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Scheffe's test and linear regression test. The results were as follows. 1. When the temperature was set at 150℃, 200℃, 250℃ and 300℃ on the digital display of System B HeatSource, the real temperature of the plugger at the 1㎜ point from the tip revealed 130.82±2.96℃, 158.00±5.26℃, 215.92±6.91℃ and 249.88±3.65℃ respectively. 2. The position of 8 ㎜ from the anatomical apex showed the highest temperature increase at each temperature settings and it was significantly higher than those of other positions (p<0.01). The temperature rise was constantly increased toward coronal portion from apex of the root. 3. The maximum temperature increase on the root surface was 2.37±0.09℃ at 150℃ setting, 3.11±0.12℃ at 200℃ setting, 3.93± 0.09℃ at 250℃ setting and 5.69± 0.15℃ at 300℃ setting. These results suggest that it be relatively kind to the supporting tissues of the root that the root canal is obturated using continuous wave of condensation technique at 150℃, 200℃, 250℃ and 300℃ temperature settings on digital display of System B HeatSource.
