삼일열 말라리아는 국내에서 재유행하고 있는 감염질환으로, 일반적으로 양성의 임상경과를 거친다. 저자들은 특이한 질병력이 없이 건강하였던 젊은 성인이 국내에서 삼일열 말라리아에 걸린 후 다기관기능부전과 폐출혈으로 사망한 증례를 경험하였다. 환자의 중증 임상경과를 설명할 만한 특이한 인자가 발견되지 않았다. Vivax malaria is a re-emerging infectious disease in Korea with cumulating 19,416 cases as of December 2003 since 1993. Vivax malaria is generally a benign disease with few severe complications. Even in the worldwide literature, there are only small number of case reports on severe complications. We experienced a fatal vivax malaria in a previously healthy young adult with severe multi-organ failure and fatal massive pulmonary hemorrhage. The patient presented with abdominal pain and shock. There were splenic hemorrhage, disseminated intravascular coagulation, oliguric acute renal failure requiring dialysis, and pulmonary hemorrhage leading the patient finally to death. The initial parasitemia was 2,046/μL. Thin smear and PCR revealed only Plasmodium Vivax. There was no explainable cause of death except for the only serological suggestion of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection without correlating clinical evidence. This is a first case of fatal vivax malaria in Korea since its re-emergence in 1993. Further case monitoring is needed to define whether this is a index case or an isolated one.

A fuzzy logic-based priority control scheme for MPEG video to transfer at the user-network interface(UNI) in ATM network is proposed. The system consists of the Frame separator, the Fuzzy system and the Priority control system in ATM network. The fuzzy method is applied on the calculation of the priority of video sources coding by Discrete Cosine Transform algorithm. The output of fuzzy system calculated by the proposed fuzzy algorithm is sent to the priority control system. A video source in ATM network can be transferred according to the output of the priority control system. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated through numerical tests and computer simulation on real video sequence.

A numerical analysis and finite element analysis were performed to suggest formula of gusset-tube connection that is subjected to axial and lateral load. Through the finite element analysis, the infulence of parameters on the ultimate strength was estimated and design formula was obtained from the case-study of result of the finite element analysis. The formulas suggested by other authors and the analytical of this paper were compared. The primary parameter of the analysis are axial load, lateral load, thickness of the primary menber, diameter of the primary menber and length of the gusset-plate. It was noted that the strength of connetion by the previous proposed formulas was much differ from result of the finite element analysis, but the difference of result between the proposed formula and the finite element analysis was within thirty percentage range. On the future research, small scale and full scale test will be performed to verify a formula suggested by this paper.

The chronic suppurative otitis media is one of the most common disease in the otologic field. And the works on bacterial distribution of chronic suppurative otitis media were studied by many otologist, but there is some difference. The bacteriologic study was done on 126 cases of chronic suppurative otitis media who visited the Department of Otolaryngology, Chosun University Hospital between January 1989 and December 1989 and the following conclusions were obtained. 1) In sex distribution, the male had higher incidence rate than female (M: 56.3%, F:43.7%). 2) In age distribution, 3rd decade (34.1%), 2nd decade (34.1%), were most prevalent. 3) In duration of the disease, the hightest frequence was below 5 years duration 4) Among 126 cases, 98 cases(77.8%) were unilateral (right ear was 47 cases(37.3%) and left ear was 51 cases(40.5%))and 28 cases(22.2%) were bilateral. 5) The 136 cases(88.3%) showed the positive results under culture, but 18 cases(11.7%) didn't growthed. Among 136 cases 95 cases(61.7%) had single infection and the 41 cases(26.6%) had mixed infection. 6) The most frequently isolated bacteria was staphylococcus(38 strains, 27.9%) and next were proteus(27 strains, 19.9%) and pseudomonas (22 strains, 16.2%). 7) The Staphylococcus was sensitive to cephalothin(94.7%), amikacin(78.9%) and resistant to penicaIin(63.2%). 8) The Proteus was sensitive to amikacin(92.6%), cephalothin(88.9%) and resistant to minocycline(81.5%) and gentamicin(70.4%). 9) The Pseudomonas was sensitive to amikadn(86.4%), gemtamicin(59.1%) and resistant to minocycline(90.9%), ampicillin(86.4%) and cephalothin(86.4%).

혈액에서 분리된 세균의 항생제감수성 : Vitek System을 이용한 최소억제농도측정 Minimal Inhibitory Concentration Determined by Vitek System

김의종,김선주,신보문,박명희,조한익,김상인 대한화학요법학회 1988 대한화학요법학회지 Vol.6 No.1

Minimal inhibitory concentrations of total 148 strains isolated from blood culture at Seoul National University Hospital were determined by Vitek System. 90% MIC of gram-negative bacteria against amikacin was 2-16㎍/㎖, and those against beta-lactams was > 16㎍/㎖ in general, Except Salmonella spp,. 90% MIC against chloramphenicol and tetracycline was >8㎍/㎖. Range of 90% MIC against vancomycin was ≤.5-4㎍/㎖ in case of garm-positive bacteria, except Enterococcus spp. which showed 90% MIC as >16㎍/㎖. Against ampicillin, 90% MIC of Staphylococcus spp. was >16㎍/㎖, but those of Streptococcus spp. was ≤.25-2㎍/㎖. Streptococcus viridans group showed 90%MIC against penicillin as ≤.03㎍/㎖. Susceptibility of gram-negative bacteria was generally 98% against amikacin, and those of gram-positive bacteria was 80% against vancomycin. 34% of Staphylococcus spp. was resistant of oxacillin. These results may be useful for the primary selection and the dosage determination of antibiotics in the treatment of patients with bacteremia.

김의종,오명돈,박기호,신형식,이환종,김남중,최강원 대한감염학회 1996 감염 Vol.28 No.4

목 적 : 인형거대세포바이러스(HCMV)는 면역 저하 환자에서 폐렴, 망막염, 간염 등 치명적인 감염증의 원인이다. 전통적인 세포 배양법으로 HCMV를 분리하기까지는 1주에서 4주가 걸리므로 이 바이러스에 의한 질환이 의심되는 경우 신속한 진단법을 이용한 진단이 바람직하다. 저자들은 한국에서 분리되는 야생주 HCMV를 검출하는데 중합효소 연쇄 반응법을 이용할 경우의 진단적 유용성을 알기 위하여, 전통적인 세포배양법으로 HCMV가 분리된 검체를 이용하여 중합효소 연쇄 반응법의 특이도와 민감도를 평가하였다. 방 법 : 국내 야생주 HCMV 15주, 그리고 전통적인 바이러스 배양법으로 HCMV가 분리된 소변 15검체를 대상으로 중합효소 연쇄 반응을 실시하였다. 중합효소 연쇄 반응은 Towne주의 immediate early antigen의 유전자에서 유리된 primer MIE와 AD169주의 immediate early antigen의 유전자에서 유리된 primer IE를 이용하였다. 증폭 산물은 겔 전기영동 후 EtBR으로 염색하여 자외선 하에서 관찰하였다. Primer IE에 의한 증폭산물은 또한, DNA blot hybridization 방법으로 확인하였다. 결 과 : 1) 국내 HCMV 야생주 15주를 대상으로 중합효소 연쇄 반응을 한 결과 primer IE를 이용한 경우에는 100%(15/15)에서 177bp의 증폭 산물이 관찰되었고, 이들 증폭 산물은 모두 probe IE와 보합 결합되었다. primer MIE를 이용한 경우에는 93%(14/15)에서 435bp의 증폭 산물이 관찰되었다. 2) 세포 배양법으로 HCMV가 분리된 소변 15검체를 대상으로 primer IE를 이용하여 중합효소 연쇄 반응을 한 결과 direct gel analysis 법으로는 73%(11/15)에서, 보합 결합법으로는 87%(13/15)에서 관찰되었다. Primer MIE를 이용한 경우에는 direct gel analysis법으로 87%(13/15)에서 435bp의 증폭 산물이 검출되었다. 결 론 : Primer IE와 MIE를 이용한 중합효소 연쇄 반응법은 국내 야생주 HCMV를 신속히 검출하는데 유용한 검사법이다. Background : Human cytomegalovirus(HCMV) can cause pneumonitis, hepatitis, retinitis and other serious diseases in the immunocompromised patients. It takes 1 to 4 weeks to diagnose HCMV infection by conventional virus culture. Therefore, when HCMV diseases are suspected, a rapid diagnostic method such as polymerase chain reaction(PCR), antigen assay or shell vial culture is desirable. We evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of a PCR for the rapid detection of HCMV wild strains in Korea. Methods : We used 2 sets of primers ; primer IE and primer MIE derived from the sequence for immediate early gene of AD169 strain and Towne strain, respectively. Fifteen clinical isolates of HCMV, suspended in MRC-5 cells, were amplified by PCR. Fifteen urine specimens which were positive for HCMV by conventional virus culture were also amplified. Amplification products were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The products from PCR with primer IE were also identified by DNA blot hybridization. Results : PCR using primer IE gave the PCR products in all of the 15 HCMV wild strains. All of these were hybridized with probe IE. When primer MIE were used, 93%(14/15) of the wild strains showed amplified bands by direct gel analysis. When the urine specimens were amplified by PCR with primer IE, amplified bands were seen in 73%(11/15) by direct gel analysis ; 87%(13/15) by hybridization method. When primer MIE were used, 87%(13/15) of the urine specimens showed the PCR products by direct gel analysis. Conclusion : Polymerase chain reaction with primer IE and MIE may be a specific and sensitive diagnostic method for rapid detection of HCMV wild strains in Korea.

김동현,박신구,김환철,이의철,김정훈,임종한 大韓産業醫學會 2008 대한직업환경의학회지 Vol.20 No.2

목적: 국내외를 통해 직무스트레스와 감기 등과 같은 감염질환과의 관련성에 대한 연구는 많지 않으며, 특히 국내에서의 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 이에 직무스트레스와 감기와의 관련성을 확인하고자 한다. 방법: 일개 대학병원의 산업의학과에서 보건관리대행을 이행하고 있는 83개의 사업장, 근로자 6,699명에 대해 한국형직무스트레스-단축형(KOSS-SF) 설문지를 배부하였고 회수된 4,637명의 설문지 중 부적절한 응답과 다른 호흡기와 관련한 폐질환을 앓고 있는 237명을 제외한 최종분석 근로자 4,400명(65.7%)의 설문자료를 근거로 연구를 시행하였다. 결과: 감기 경험과의 단변량분석에서 유의한 차이를 보인 요인들과 일상생활 스트레스를 보정한 후 시행한 직무스트레스와 감기 경험과의 로지스틱 희귀분석 결과 직무 자율성 결여를 제외한 직무스트레스 하부 영역 전반(직무요구, 관계갈등, 직무불안정, 조직체계, 보상부적절, 직장문화)에 걸쳐 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보여주었다. 또한 직무스트레스와 감기 경협 첫수와의 관련성을 확인하기위한 다중회귀분석에서도 비슷한 양상을 보였다. 결론: 직무자율성 결여를 제의한 한국형 직무스트레스 요인 전체가 감기와 관련성을 나타내었다. Objectives: To investigate the relationship between job stress and the common cold which is one of the most common infectious disease. Methods: A KOSS (Korean Occupational Stress Scale)-based questionnaire survey was conducted targeting 6,699 workers, of which 4,637 questionnaires were returned and the data for 237 were excluded due to poor response and having pulmonary disease other than common cold. Consequently, 4,400 (65.7%) returned questionnaires were analyzed. Multiple logistic regression analysis and multiple linear regression, adjusted for daily life stress, confounding variables and both, were used to evaluate the relationship between job stress and the common cold. Results: After adjustment for confounding variables and daily life stress, most of the subscales of job stress contributed to an increased risk of common cold. Conclusions: These results indicated that job stress may play a significant role in increasing the risk of the common cold and that further preventive efforts and studies are needed to reduce job stress and address infectious disease caused by job stress among Korean employees.

바이러스 복제기작에서 Protein Arginine Methyltransferases 의 기능

유정은,신봉진,박의순,최승아,노재랑 충남대학교 생물공학연구소 2009 생물공학연구지 Vol.15 No.-

Protein arginine methylation is one of common post-translational modification and is involved in the modulation of diverse intracellular events including cell signaling, activation and differentiation. Protein arginine methylation is catalyzed by a family of methyltransferase enzymes called the protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs). The methylation of arginines is basically catalyzed via S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the methyl donor by PRMTs. Protein arginine methylation is implicated in many RNA metabolism including transcription, RNA splicing and transport, and RNA stability. Interestingly, it has recently come to be appreciated that viral replication is greatly influenced by the activity of cellular PRMT. Viral replication is positively or negatively regulated by the activity of cellular PRMTs through modulation of viral RNA metabolism by protein arginine methylation. For example, the utilization of cellular PRMTl in viral replication of Herpes simplex virus (HSV) has been reported, while viral replication of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is inhibited through arginine methylation of Tat by PRMT6 under hypermethylation conditions. Although there appears to be a relationship between protein arginine methylation and viral replication, the direct involvement of PRMTs in viral replication is still unclear. In this regard, we would like to review current progress and perspectives for the modulation of protein arginine methylation from a point of view in viral replication.
