물리?화학적 처리에 의한 요구르트 오염균의 생육억제 효과를 알아보기 위해, 요구르트의 주요 오염균을 분리?동정하고, 열, pH, 전해수, 오존가스, microwave 처리 및 감마선을 조사하여 오염균주에 대한 사멸효과를 알아보았다. 오염된 요구르트로부터 분리한 효모의 지방산 조성 분석과 API(Analytic Profile Index) kit 분석을 실시한 결과, Hanseniaspora uvarum으로 동정되었으며 잠정적으로 Hanseniaspora uvarum Y1으로 명명하였다. H. uvarum Y1의 열 및 pH 처리에 의한 생육억제 효과를 측정한 결과, 70℃ 및 80℃에서 15분 가열처리로 균이 사멸되었으며, pH 처리 시 pH 2, 3 및 9에서 생육이 다소 억제되었으며, pH 1 및 10에서 완전히 억제되었다. 전해수 처리의 경우, clear zone이 5 mm 이상으로 H. uvarum Y1이 전해수에 높은 감수성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 오존가스 처리에 의한 H. uvarum Y1의 사멸효과를 측정한 결과, 102 CFU의 균은 10분, 103 CFU의 균은 20분 처리 시 모두 사멸한 것으로 나타났으며, microwave 처리의 경우, 106 CFU 가량의 균이 1분 처리 시 모두 사멸되었다. 방사선 조사의 경우, 균수를 90% 이상 감소시키는데 필요한 조사선량이 20 kGy 이상으로 H. uvarum Y1은 감마선에 저항성이 있는 균임을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해볼 때 열, pH, 전해수, 오존가스, microwave 처리를 통해 요구르트 오염균주인 H. uvarum Y1의 생육을 효과적으로 억제할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. This study was conducted to investigate the cause of microbiological contamination in yogurt and evaluate the effect of physicochemical treatment on the growth inhibition of Hanseniaspora uvarum isolated from yogurt. The yeast strain Hanseniaspora uvarum Y1 was subjected to heat and pH treatments. H. uvarum Y1 was killed at 70oC and 80oC after 15 min and survived in a wide pH range from pH 2 to 9. However, it did not survive under pH 1 and over pH 10. In a disk diffusion susceptibility test on H. uvarum Y1, a clear zone (5 mm) of growth inhibition was observed upon treatment with electrolyzed water. The effect of ozone gas on the growth of H. uvarum Y1 was evaluated by viable cell count. Initial cell numbers of 102 and 103 CFU/mL of H. uvarum Y1 were completely killed by treatment for 10 and 30 min, respectively. H. uvarum Y1 was also sterilized by microwave treatment for 1 min. When treated with gamma-irradiation, the rate of killing of H. uvarum Y1 was proportional to the irradiation dose. and complete killing occurred at a dose of 50 kGy.

멸균 초콜릿 우유로부터 분리한 내열성 균주에 대해 열, pH, 전해수, 오존처리, microwave 및 감마선 처리를 하여 균주의 사멸효과에 대해 알아보았다. 균주의 지방산 분석과 API kit를 통하여 균주를 동정한 결과, Bacillus lentus로 동정되었으며, 잠정적으로 Bacillus lentus M1으로 명명하였다. B. lentus M1에 110℃, 15분간 열처리하였을 경우 생육이 억제되었으며, pH 처리 시 pH 5 이하, 10 이상에서 생육이 억제된 것으로 나타났다. B. lentus M1에 대한 전해수의 항균활성을 paper disc법으로 측정한 결과, 높은 생육억제를 보였으며, 오존 처리의 경우 초기 균수가 10² CFU가량의 균을 10분 동안, 10³ CFU가량의 균을 30분 동안 처리 시 균의 생육이 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. Microwave를 1분간 처리 시 B. lentus M1이 모두 사멸한 것으로 나타났다. 감마선 조사의 경우, 1 kGy 조사 시 생균수가 1.61×10³ CFU로 초기 균수에 비해 4 log cycle 가량 균수가 감소하였으며 7 kGy에서 완전히 사멸하였다. 이상의 결과를 통해 열, pH, 전해수, 오존 처리 및 방사선 처리 방법이 멸균 초콜릿 우유의 생존 오염균인 B. lentus M1을 효과적으로 사멸시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. This study was conducted to investigate the cause of microbiological contaminants in aseptic chocolate milk and evaluate the effect of a physicochemical treatment on the growth inhibition of isolated bacterial strains. The bacterium isolated from aseptic chocolate milk was identified as Bacillus lentus and was named B. lentus M1. In the heat and pH treatment, the growth of B. lentus was inhibited at 110℃ for >15 min and at pH’s <5 and >10. An electrolyzed water treatment against B. lentus M1, revealed 5 ㎜ growth past the inhibition zone. The effect of ozone gas on B. lentus M1 growth was evaluated using viable cell counts. When the initial number of B. lentus M1 was 10² and 10³ CFU, the bacteria were completely suppressed by ozone gas treatment for 10 and 30 min, respectively. In a microwave treatment, B. lentus M1 was sterilized following microwave treatment for 1 min. As the result of γ-irradiation against B. lentus M1, numbers decreased as the γ-irradiation dosage increased. These results show the growth inhibition effects against contaminants in aseptic chocolate milk using physicochemical treatments.

Prediction of thrapeutic response to radioiodine in Graves' disease is poorly understood. Although thyrotropin binding inhibitor immunoglobulin(TBII) level is a strong index for relapse after antithyroid drug medication, conflicting results are reported regarding its prognostic significance in Graves' disease treated with RAI. This study is dengned to evaluate possible relationship between post-treatment hypothyroidism and TBII in Graves' disease treated with RAI. Fourty two patient with Graves' disease after radioiodine treatment were studied retrospectively. The subject were divided into hypothyroid group and euthyroid or hyperthyroid group. We evaluated the association of hypothyroidism and TBII with radioiodine treatment dose. The mean age of hypothyroid group was 48±11 years and euthyroid or hyperthyroid group was 47±12 years. There was no difference in two groups. And there was no significant difference in post- treatment TBII between two groups(49.9±28.5%, 29.9±14.3%, p-value >0.05). The treatment-dose had no influence on post-treatment thyroid state. Euthyroid or hyperthyroid group was done with 13.6±6.9mCi and hypothyroid group was 17.0±10.4mCi(p-value > 0.05). TBII had no prognostic significance on long-term hypothyrodism in Graves' disease treated with radioiodine. And, treatment-dose had no influence on post-treatment thyroid state.

조태웅,민영돈,김경종,정권율,강성인,류소연,임성철 朝鮮大學校 附設 醫學硏究所 2006 The Medical Journal of Chosun University Vol.31 No.1

Obturator hernia is a rare pelvic hernia, occuring most frequently in elderly, extra-thin or debilitated women. Because of the anatomic character of the obturator foramen and the nonspecific symptoms in the presence of the hernia, the risk of strangulation of the herniated bowel is high, which leads to high morbidity and mortality rate. The authors experienced an unusual case of left obturator hernia with strangulation of the small bowel in an 80-year old female. The hernia was diagnosed by abdomino-pelvic computed tomography (CT) scan. Through the lower midline transperitoneal approach, resecting the strangulated small bowel, the hernia sac was ligated and the obturator foramen was repaired using adjacent broad ligament. We report these findings with a brief review of the literature.

조영석,나소영,이효진,홍우정,김군순,김도희,구본정,송민호,김영건,노흥규 충남대학교 의과대학 의학연구소 2002 충남의대잡지 Vol.29 No.2

배경 : 폐경후 골다공증은 심각한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 현재 Alendronate는 폐경후 골다공증의 치료제로서 널리 쓰이고 있다. 저자는 Alendronate의 골밀도에 효과를 알아보고 골다공증의 위험인자에 따른 Alendronate의 반응 정도를 평가하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 방법 : Alendronate를 평균 12개월간 복용한 35명의 폐경후 골다공증환자에서 체질량지수와 폐경후 기간에 따른 치료효과를 조사하였다. 결과 : 전체 대상군에서 Alendronate 10㎎을 12개월간 투여한후 골밀도의 평균 변화율은 요추와 대퇴골 경부에서 각각 7.83±7.39%와 2.99±9.22%이었다. 과체중군에서 평균변화율은 요추와 대퇴골 경부에서 각각 7.15±4.5%와 3.05±2.86%였다. 양군간에 통계적 유의성이 있는 차이는 없었다. 폐경후 7년이 경과되지 않은 군에서의 평균변화율은 요추와 대퇴골 경부에서 각각 6.9±5.3%와 5.71±0.08%였다. 양군간에 통계적인 유의성이 있는 차이는 없었다. 결론 : 마른체형이 골다공증의 발병에는 영향이 있으나, Alendronate 치료효과의 차이는 없는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 더불어 폐경이 있고 7년이 초과된 군과 년이 경과되지 않은 군에서의 Alendronate 치료효과의 차이는 없는 것을 확인할수 있었다. 이는 골흡수가 상당히 진행된 상태에서도 Alendronate가 치료효과를 가지고 있음을 반영한다고 할 수 있겠다. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a serious health problem. The aminophosphonate Alendronate is widely used for treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. We studied the effect of l0㎎ of alendronate given daily for mean 12 months on bone mineral density in 35 women(mean age 61yrs. mean BMI 23.24㎏/m^(2)) with osteoporosis. An over weight group is defined such that BMI was above 23㎏/m^(2). All the women received 1500㎎ calcium carbonate daily. The bone mineral density of L-spine and femoral neck was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Alendronate increased BMD at mean 12 months at the L-spine (7.15±4.5%) and femoral neck(3.05±2.86%) in normal women. Alendronate increased bone mineral density at 12 months at the L-spine(6.00±5.3%) and femoral neck(4.17±4.87%) in overweight women. There was no difference between two groups. In the less than 7 years group of postmenopausal duration. alendronate increased bone mineral density at 12 months at the L-spine(6.9±4.9%) and femoral neck(3.18±7.1%). In the more than 7 years group of postmenopausal duration, alendronate increased hone mineral density at 1% months at the L-spine(6.5±5.3%) and femoral neck(5.71±0.08%). There was no difference between two groups. In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, therapy with alendronate produced significant increases in BMD of the L-spine and femoral neck in both group. There was no difference between normal and over-weight groups. and between less than 7 years group and more than 7 years group of postmenopausal duration.

김민우,변승진,이경은,정소영,조주영,최원자,최찬양,김경 대구대학교 특수교육재활과학연구소 2011 再活科學硏究 Vol.29 No.1

이 연구는 컴퓨터 작업시 의자 등받이 위치가 근육활성도에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 36명의 근골격에 문제가 없는 성인 남녀가 참가하였으며 대상자들은 등받이가 뒤에 있는 의자와 등받이가 없는 의자, 등받이가 앞에 있는 우리들 의자를 무작위로 배정하고 동일한 컴퓨터 작업을 실시하게 하였다. 실험 중, 표면근전도기를 사용하여 의자에 따른 위등세모근, 머리널판근 그리고 척주세움근의 근활성도 변화를 측정하였다. 이 연구의 결과를 종합해보면 등받이가 앞에 있는 의자는 허리 근육의 부담을 줄이지만 목근육에 부담이 늘어나고 등받이가 뒤에 있는 의자와 없는 의자는 허리근육에는 다소 무리가 가지만 목근육에는 부담이 덜하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 환자의 증상에 다라 컴퓨터 작업을 하는 동안 의자 등받이의 위치를 조절하여 치료에 도움이 될 수 있다고 생각되어진다. Objective : In this study, we checked and observed people's change of body muscle and muscle activity who do computer work on different chairs. We set three kind of chairs which one is a stool and another one is the back is fixed, and the other one is the back is fixed in front of chair. Subject : Accounting for 36 health men and women, we divided these people to 3 groups and put them on the three cases(position 1, position 2, position 3). We measured muscle activity of upper trapezius, Splenius Cervics, Erector Spinae from the groups by using surface electromyogram system. Methods : The standard of the electromyogram was 'reference voluntary contraction', and we carried out 'one way anova' to compare muscle activity of three groups. Results : In position 1, reference voluntary contraction of upper trapezius muscle activity was 123.2821%, Splenius Cervics was 141.7526%, and Erector Spinae was 254.5233%. In position 2, reference voluntary contraction of upper trapezius muscle activity was 132.9395%, Splenius Cervics was 141.7526%, and Erector Spinae was 246.6540%. In position 3, reference voluntary contraction of upper trapezius muscle activity was 190.6487%, Splenius Cervics was 270.2332%, and Erector Spinae was 182.1021%. Both upper trapezius and Splenius Cervics muscle activity of position 3 group was higher than the others groups. In position 1 group, Erector Spinae muscle activity was hight than the other groups. And either was position 2 group's(p<0.05). Conclusion : Therefore the chair which is the back is fixed in front is more comfortable for waist muscle but it's not good for neck. And the other chairs are better in waist muscle but not in neck muscle. So far, when we do a computer work, it's prefer to sit on the group 1&2's chairs to reduce neck muscle's stress and sit on group 3's chair to reduce waist muscle's stress.

연구 목적 : 메스암페타민 남용 또는 의존이 없는 군과 있는 군 사이의 인격장애의 유병율을 알아보고, 메스암페타민 남용 또는 의존군에서 동반 인격장애가 그들의 전반적 기능 및 일반적 특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 대상은 정상대조군에서 메스암페타민 남용 또는 의존이 없는 50명과 정신병원에 입원한 메스암페타민 남용 또는 의존환자 50명이었다. 메스암페타민 남용과 전반적 기능에 대한 평가는 DSM-Ⅳ에 의거하였고, 인격장애를 평가하기 위해 대상군 모두에서 PDQ-4+를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 정상대조군은 34%에서 적어도 1개 이상의 인격장애를 나타내었으며, 한 사람 당 평균 3.94개였다. 메스암페타민 남용 또는 의존군은 64%에서 적어도 1개 이상의 인격장애를 보였으며, 한 환자 당 평균 4.72개였다. 메스암페타민 남용 또는 의존군에서 동반 인격장애의 유무는 시작 연령, 사용 용량, 그리고 입원 또는 구치 횟수와는 관련성이 없는 것으로 나타났으나, 3개 이상의 동반 인격장애를 가질 경우, 그렇지 않은 군에 비해 전반적 기능이 떨어졌다. 결 론 : 본 연구 결과, 우리나라에서도 일반인에 비해 물질사용장애 환자에서 인격장애를 동반할 가능성이 높으며, 물질사용장애 환자 중에서도 인격장애를 동반한 군이 그렇지 않은 군에 비해 전반적으로 기능이 떨어진다는 결론이 가능하게 되었다. Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of personality disorders between normal control group and hospitalized methamphetamine abuse or dependent patients and, among the latter, the influence of comorbid personality disorder on their global assesment function and general characteristics. Methods : Subjects were 50 non-methamphetamine abuse or dependent persons in the general population group and 50 methamphetamine abuse or dependent patients admitted to the psychiatric hospital. Methamphetamine abuse or dependence and the global assesment function were diagnosed according to DSM-Ⅳ, and the presence of personality disorder was assessed with the PDQ-4+. Results : In the normal control group, 34% of subjects had at least one personality disorder and the average number of personality disorder was 3.94 per person. In the methamphetamine abuse or dependent group, 64% of the patients had at least one personality disorder and the average number .of personality disorder was 4.72 per patient. The presence of comorbid personality disorder were not associated with onset age, use dosage and the number of admission or arrest among the methamphetamine abuse or dependent group. But, when methamphetamine abuse or dependent patients had more than three personality disorders, the global assessment function was impaired. Conclusion : In our study, substance use disorder patients had the higher possibility of comorbid personality disorder in Korea, and among substance use disorder patients, those with comorbid personality disorders were associated with the greater global impairment.

목적 : 양성 갑상선 결절 환자에서의 PEI의 치료효과 및 부작용을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 양성 갑상선 결절 환자 88명을 대상으로 초음파 소견에 따라 낭종성 결절, 복합성 결절, 고형성 결절 등 세 그룹으로 분류후 전체 및 각각에 대한 PEI의 치료효과 및 부작용을 조사하였다. 결과 : 양성 갑상선 결절 환자 88명을 PEI로 치료후 결절의 크기가 50%이상 감소한 경우는 전체 환자중 77.2%이었고 각 결절별로 살펴보면 고형성 결절에서 52.6%, 복합성 결절에서 72.4%, 낭종성 결절은 92.5%이었다. 부작용은 동통, 결절내 출혈, 감염, 결절의 누출등이 있었으나 대부분 무증상이었다. 결론 : PEI는 양성 갑상선 결절 환자증 적응증을 잘 살펴 고려해 볼 수 있는 치료법이라 생각되며 특히 낭종성 결절 환자에서 주사기에 의한 흡인후에 재발한 경우 일차적인 치료로 PEI를 고려해 볼 수 있겠다. Ultrasonography(US)-guided percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) has been performed for the treatment of autonomous functioning thyroid nodules, thyroid cysts, & cold thyroid nodules. The author studied the efficacy of PEI in the treatment of benign cold thyroid nodules both solid and cystic (complex & pure). Eighty-eight euthyroid outpatients (age:44.2±13.9years, 75 women and 13 men) with benign cold thyroid nodules or simple thyroid cysts (69 with a single nodule and 19 with a prominent nodule within multinodular goiter) were includied in this study. After PEI, each subtype of thyroid nodules was divided into three groups in according to volume reduction complete response (90% or more of volume reduction), partial response (50% or more of reducton but below 90%), and failure (below 50% or increase in size) group. Overall response rates of PEI for benign thyroid nodules were complete 45(51.1%), partial 23(26.1%), failure 20(22.7%). In 20 cold solid nodules, complete response was observed in 6(30.0%), partial response in 5(25.0%), and failure in 9(45.0%). In 28 complex cysts, complete response was observed in 8(28.6%), partial response in 12 (42.9%), and failure in 8(28.6%). In 40 pure cysts, complete response was observed in 31(77.5%), partial response in 6 (15.0%), and failure in 3 (7.5%). Side effects comprised pain 8 (9.2%), intranodular bleeding 13 (14.6%), extracapsular leakage 1(1.1%), infection 1 (1.1%), increased size l(1.1%), and none 64(72.7%). PEI may prove a safe & effective tool for the therapy of cold thyroid nodules in selected cases and may be the treatment of choice of recurrent thyroid cysts. However, further investigation involving a larger number of patients and a longer follow-up is needed.

Purpose: This study aims to test if the age of pregnant women affects the perception, experience, and attitude towards complementary alternative therapy (CAT), by investigating the perception, experience, and attitude of pregnant women under the age of 35, and above 35 (Advanced Maternal Age). The study will 1) find the general characteristics of pregnant women under and over the age of 35 2) compare the perception, behavior, and experience of pregnant women under and over the age of 35, and 3) find the comparison of the perception, behavior, and experience according to the general characteristics of pregnant women under and over the age of 35. Method: The subjects of this study are composed of 44 women under the age of 35 and 44 women above the age of 35, totaling 88 pregnant women visiting midwiferies, obstetrics and gynecology, and baby fairs in Seoul and Gyeong-Gi area. Data for this study was collected from November 28, 2015 to January 6, 2016 for 40 days. The collected data analyzed mean, standard deviation, t test, ANOVA, and chi-square by using SPSS 23.0. Result Results show that there is a significant difference in the perception, attitude, and experience of the two-sample groups in the use of CAT. The question of “what is most necessary when applying CAT in a hospital clinical environment” for the perception criteria came out with the results of t=9.980, p<.05. For the attitude, results showed that the answers of pregnant women under the age of 35 displayed a more positive attitude towards CAT. (t=2.421, p<.05) Lastly, in the experience section, pregnant women under the age of 35 showed more CAT use than the other sample group. Conclusion Results have shown that there is a difference in the perception, behavior, and experience between the two sample groups. Therefore further research on the efficacy and the adverse effects of CAT needs to be done.
