Abstract

An epidemiological study and mass treatments of Enterobius vermicularis infection among children near Wonju area of Kangwon province were carried out. The children were divided into 4 groups according to their residing localities; children in the mountainous area, rural area, urban area and in orphanage. They were examined by adhesive cellotape anal swab technique, and egg positive rates were obtained. The rates of egg reduction and re-infection rates after repeated mass treatments were also observed. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The overall egg Positive rate of E. vermicularis in the first screening was 19.9% (251 out of 1, 262 examinees; 19.7% in males and 20.1% in females). The positive rates were 13.0% in the mountainous area, 11 9% in the rural area, 15.1% in the urban (medium-sized) area and 61.9% in orphanages. 2. The highest positive rates were observed in the kindergarten children, and 1st and 2nd grade children of primary schools (26.2~32.2%), and the lowest rate (13.6%) in 6-year grade children of primary schools. 3. Cumulative detection rates from 3 repeated anal swabs at 4~5 days interval were higher (70.8%) than those from single anal swabs (50.0~59.2%). 4. Out of the examinees who showed the highest cumulative positive rate (70.8%), about 39.2% were consecutively positive in 3 anal swabs. Among different groups of children, the higher the total egg detection rates (87.5%), the higher the consecutive positive rates (71.9%) . 5. A total of 2, 609 (male : female=1 : 12.4) worms were collected from 17 egg-positive cases treated with anthelinintics. The mean number of worms per child was 153 (range: 4-824) . 6. The egg-positive cases in several studied groups (180 children) were treated with anthelmintics 6 times at 3-week intervals. In this case, the overall positive rate was decreased from 54.8% to 2.2% at 15 weeks after the treatments, but no complete negative conversion was experienced. However, in a group of children (154 children) including egg Positive and negative cases who were both treated with anthelmintics at 3-week interval, a complete egg-negative conversion was observed in the 9th week after treatments. 7. The egg-detection rate in the brothers or sisters of egg Positive children was 70.0% (28 out of 40 examined), and the egg-positive rate according to the family unit was 69.7%. In summarizing the above results, it is concluded that Enterobius vermicularis infection is still highly prevalent among children in Korea, and that repeated mass treatments of more than 3 times will be effective for control of this infection.

강원도 원주 지역 학등에 대하여 환경을 달리하는 4군을 adhesive cellotape anal swab 법으로 충란 검출률을 조사하였고 감염 집단에 대하여 구충제의 반착 투여로 감염률의 감소 현황과 재감염 을 관찰하였다. 1. 충란 검출률(1회 검사)은 19.9%(1,262명중 251명 양성, 남 19.7%, 여 20.1%)였으며 지역과 환경이 다른 산간 지역 13.0%, 농촌 지역 11.9%, 중 도시 15. l%, 집단생활 아동 61.9%로 나타났다. 2. 국민학생은 저학년(유치만 및 1,2학년생)에서 검출률(26.2∼32.2%)이 높았고 그 외는 최저 (6학년 생) 13.6%이었다. 3. 반복 검사(4∼5일 간격 3회)에 의한 누적 검출률은 높았으나(최초 58.5%에서 70.8%로) 매회의 검출률은 비슷한 비율(50.0%∼59.2%)을 보였다. 4. 반복검사 3회의 누적 검출률(70.8%, 130명 검사) 중 계속 양성자는 평균 39.2%이었다. 그리고 충란 검출률이 높은 군(87.5%)일수록 그 비율(71.9%)은 높았다. 5. 충란 양성자 17명에서 구충제 투여로 2,609마리 (성비는 12.4 : 1)의 충체를 수집하였다. 이는 평균 153마리 (4∼824범위) 감염에 해당된다. 6. 집단에 대하여 매회 충란 양성자에만 구충제를 투여 (3주간격 6회)한 바 양성률은 최초 54.8% (180명중)에서 15주 후에 2.3%로 감소되었으나 완전한 구충 효과는 얻지 못하였다. 그러나 매회 전 집단(양성자, 음성자 같이)에 대한 구충제 투여 (3주간격)에서는 4회 (9주째) 검사때 전부 음성으로 나타났다. 7. 국민학교 학생 양성자의 형제자매 중 충란 검출률은 70.0%(40명 중 28명)이었다. 가족 단위로는 69.7%의 같은 비율로 높았다. 이상으로 요충 감염은 아직까지 높은 상태임을 알았고 예방을 위한 집단 구충에는 전 집단에 대한 3회 이상의 반복구충이 효과적이었다. gas layers is also made. Low resolution spectral intensities at the boundary are obtained for uniform, parabolic and boundary layer type temeprature profiles using the obtained for uniform, parabolic and boundary layer type temperature profiles using the obtained WSGGM's with 9 gray gases. The results are compared with the narrow band spectral intensities as obtained by a narrow band model-based code with the Curtis-Godson approximation. Good agreement is found between them. Local heat source strength and total wall heat flux are also compared for the cases of Kim et al, which again gives promising agreement.면적 306~453$\textrm{cm}^2$, 유색계의 경우 수당면적 340~453$\textrm{cm}^2$ 일 때 경제능력을 제대로 발휘할 수 있고 경제성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 첨가구가 높은 경향이 있었다8.4%. 79.7% 그리고 80.2%였다. 5. 체중구성요소들의 중상비율간의 상관근도는 계통간를 차이를 보이지 않았다. 체중구성요소중 체중과 상관정도가 높은 부위들은 방혈양, 두부, 각부, 흉부, 퇴경부등이였다. 복부지방(%)은 어느 계종에서나 주로 불가식내장과 높은 유의상관을 보였으나, 가식부위와의 상관정도는 매우 낮게 나타났다.ctivity of these
