Breast cancer incidence and mortality in Kazakhstan are considered to be increasing but exact statistics have hitherto been lacking. The present study was therefore undertaken to retrospectively assess data for the whole country, accessed from the central registration office, for the period 1999-2013. Age standardized data for incidence and mortality were generated and compared across age groups. It was determined that during the studied period 45,891 new cases of breast cancer were registered and 20,122 women died of this pathology. Average breast cancer incidence and mortality were $37.9{\pm}1.10/10^5$ and $16.7{\pm}0.20/10^5$ respectively, and the overall ratio of mortality/incidence (M/I) was 0.44. Incidence tended to increase (T = + 2.3%), and mortality to decrease (T of =-0.3%). Peaks of incidence and mortality were noted in those aged 60-74 years and 75-84, respectively. Particularly high incidences were established in large cities of Kazakhstan, Astana ($46.8{\pm}1.80/10^5$) and Almaty ($49.7{\pm}1.30/10^5$), and high mortality was observed in the Pavlodar region ($17.9{\pm}0.60/10^5$) and Almaty city ($20.1{\pm}0.40/10^5$). Considerable variation in the mortality/incidence ratio was noted, suggesting the need for more stress on access to screening and clinical care in some regions of the country.

The performance of a modeling system consisting of WRF model v3.3 and CMAQ model v4.7.1 for forecasting $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were evaluated during the period May 2012 through December 2014. Twenty-four hour averages of $PM_{2.5}$ and its major components obtained through filter sampling at the Bulgwang intensive measurement station were used for comparison. The mean predicted $PM_{2.5}$ concentration over the entire period was 68% of the mean measured value. Predicted concentrations for major components were underestimated except for $NO_3{^-}$. The model performance for $PM_{2.5}$ generally tended to degrade with increasing the concentration level. However, the mean fractional bias (MFB) for high concentration above the $80^{th}$ percentile fell within the criteria, the level of accuracy acceptable for standard model applications. Among three bias correction methods, the ratio adjustment was generally most effective in improving the performance. Albeit for limited test conditions, this analysis demonstrated that the effects of bias correction were larger when using the data with a larger bias of predicted values from measurement values.

본 연구는 서울시내 150개 음식점에서 수거한 계절별 음식 8종류 400건의 나트륨 및 칼륨 함량을 조사하였다. 계절별 음식은 여름철 메뉴 물냉면, 비빔냉면, 가을철 메뉴 떡볶이, 어묵꼬치, 튀김, 겨울철 메뉴 짬뽕, 우동, 해물 칼국수를 포함하였으며, 각 시료의 나트륨과 칼륨 평균함량 분석결과는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p < 0.05). 나트륨 평균함량은 짬뽕 $391.4{\pm}72.7mg$/ 100 g, 튀김 $385.1{\pm}92.7mg$/ 100 g, 떡볶이 $373.3{\pm}90.6mg$/ 100 g, 어묵 꼬치 $366.9{\pm}81.8mg$/ 100 g는 다른 그룹에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났으며, 비빔냉면 $255.3{\pm}67.0mg$/ 100 g, 해물칼국수 $261.9{\pm}57.2mg$/ 100 g으로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 칼륨 평균함량은 짬뽕 $88.6{\pm}21.4mg$/ 100 g, 비빔냉면 $84.8{\pm}24.1mg$/ 100 g, 떡볶이 $81.7{\pm}23.7mg$/ 100 g으로 다른 그룹에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났으며, 물냉면 $41.2{\pm}10.4mg$/ 100 g, 어묵꼬치 $39.5{\pm}18.4mg$/ 100 g, 우동 $36.3{\pm}17.8mg$/ 100 g으로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 음식점에서 제공하는 각 메뉴의 1인분 기준으로 나트륨 함량은 짬뽕 $3,780.7{\pm}878.8mg$, 물냉면 $3,463.2{\pm}1178.7mg$, 어묵꼬치 $2,715.9{\pm}1078.3mg$, 해물칼국수 $2,671.1{\pm}786.5mg$, 우동 $2,298.8{\pm}592.3mg$으로 WHO에서 정한 1일 권장 나트륨 섭취량 2,000 mg 보다 높은 결과를 보였다. 조리하는 음식점에 따라서 짬뽕은 많게는 5,768.9 mg까지 나트륨이 함유되어 있어 나트륨 1일 권장 섭취량보다 2.9배나 섭취하게 되므로 나트륨 과다 섭취로 인한 건강문제를 야기시킬 수 있다. 나트륨/칼륨 섭취비율에 대해 분석한 결과 어묵꼬치 $10.8{\pm}4.3$, 우동 $10.2{\pm}4.0$, 물냉면 $8.6{\pm}2.3$, 튀김 $5.9{\pm}1.9$ 순으로 높게 나타났다. 비빔냉면이 $3.2{\pm}1.0$으로 Na/K 섭취비율이 1에 가까운 비율을 나타냈고, 어묵꼬치의 Na/K 섭취비율이 최고 26.6로 칼륨함량에 비해 나트륨함량이 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. Na/K 섭취비율은 바람직한 섭취비율인 1:1의 1/3이하로 칼륨 섭취가 크게 부족한 것을 알 수 있었다. 칼륨의 섭취량이 증가하면 나트륨 흡수를 감소시킬 수 있으므로 나트륨의 과잉 섭취로 유발되는 고혈압에 대해 보호 작용을 한다고 알려져 있다. 나트륨 섭취를 줄이기 위해서 정부의 시책과 더불어 국민건강을 위하여 나트륨 섭취를 줄이고 칼륨 섭취를 증가시킬 수 있는 효과적인 식단 및 나트륨을 비롯한 영양성분표시를 의무 화해 소비자들에게 정확한 영양정보를 제공함으로써 올바른 식품의 선택뿐만 아니라 실천할 수 있는 생활습관의 교육 등 Na/K 섭취비율을 높일 수 있는 메뉴 및 방법을 다각적으로 연구할 필요가 있다.

To understand the distribution characteristics of PM_2.5 concentration in the Saemangeum Reclamation Area and nearby areas, three points of the background area, the occurrence area, and the affected area were selected and samples were collected for each season. The chemical composition was determined. As a result of analyzing the chemical composition contained in PM_2.5, NO₃^- (7.2 ㎍/m³), SO₄^2- (4.3 ㎍/m³), NH₄+ (4.3 ㎍/m³), OC (2.5 ㎍/m³), Si (1.3 ㎍/m³) m³) and EC (0.5 ㎍/m³) seemed to be the main components, and NO₃-, SO₄^2-, NH₄⁺, which are components that form secondary particles, occupied a large proportion. The composition ratio of PM_2.5 was investigated in the order of ion component (56.8%) > Unknown (27.4%) > carbon component (11.8%) > heavy metal component (4.0%). During the PM_2.5 high concentration case days, the ionic component accounted for 90.7% during atmospheric stagnation cases, whereas the chemical composition ratio was in the order of ionic component (51.7%) > heavy metal component (41.5%) > carbon component (6.8%) during yellow dust cases. It was found that the characteristic of PM_2.5 in the Saemangeum reclaimed land and surrounding areas is mainly influenced by outside (domestic and overseas) throughout the year. Ion components accounted for the largest portion of PM_2.5 components in this area, but there were few sources of SOx and NOx emission in the Seamangeum area, which are precursors for secondary particle formation. Therefore, it is judged that most of these are generated and influenced as a secondary reaction in the atmosphere from the outside.

배 경: 호흡부전의 치료에 있어 환자 체위를 prone position으로 하는 시도는 20년 전부터 보고되어 왔으며 폐산소화 및 심박출량 향상에 효과가 있다는 것이 알려져 있다. Prone position시 폐산소화의 호전은 임상 및 동물 실험에서 단락 감소에 의한 것으로 알려져 있으며 그 중요 기전은 supine position에 비해 prone position때 중력 의존부 폐의 늑막압이 더 작아 폐포 개방압이 줄어들기 때문인 바 저자 등은 prone position이 폐산소화에 미치는 효과는 supine position에서 사용한 PEEP의 폐포 고비 개방압과의 관계에 따라 달라질 것으로 추정하였다. Prone position에서의 심박출량 증가에 대하여는 양압환기시 발생하는 cardiac fossa lifting 현상이 prone position에 의해 완화될 수 있다는 주장이 제기된 바 있어 prone position이 또한 supine position에서 PEEP에 의해 초래된 심박출량 저하를 완화시킬 수 있는지를 잡종견 급성 폐손상 모델을 통해 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 잡종견 7 마리 ($20.0{\pm}3.9$ kg)를 정맥 마취 후 기관내관을 삽관하고 인공호흡기를 Vt 15 ml/kg, f 20/min, I : E=1 : 3, pause 10%, PEEP 0 cm $H_2O$, $F_1O_2$ 1.0으로 설정하였다. 혈압, 분당맥박수, 폐동맥쐐기압, 심박출량 등의 측정과 동맥혈가스분석을 위해 서혜동맥과 폐동맥 천자술을 시행하였다. 대조기에 supine position 및 prone position 30분에 각각 호흡 지표 ($PaO_2/F_1O_2$[P/F], 총호흡기계탄성 [Cst]와 supine position, prone position 5분 및 prone position 30분에 혈류역학적 지표(평균동맥압, 분당 맥박수, 심박출량, 박출용적)을 측정하고 섭씨 38도의 생리식염수 (30~50 ml/kg)를 기관내관을 통하여 주입하여 급성 폐손상을 유도한 뒤 constant flow 법에 의해 inflection point(Pflex)를 측정하였다. 급성 폐손상에서의 supine position과 prone position실험은 Pflex보다 2 cm $H_2O$ 낮은 PEEP(Low PEEP)과 2 cm $H_2O$ 높은 PEEP (Optimal PEEP)에서 순차적으로 시행하고 각각 통일 시간대에 상기 지표들을 측정하였으며 Optimal PEEP 실험 마지막에 다시 supin position으로 체위를 바꾸고 5분 뒤 혈류역학적 지표들을 측정하였다. 결 과: 1. Prone position 시행시 Low PEEP 및 Optimal PEEP에서의 호흡 효과의 차이 Low PEEP하에서 P/F 비는 supine position에서 $195{\pm}112$ mm Hg, prone position 30분에서 $400{\pm}33$ mm Hg였고 (p<0.001) Optimal PEEP하에서 P/F 비는 supine position에서 $466{\pm}63$ mm Hg, prone position 30분에서 $499{\pm}63$ mm Hg였다 (p=0.016). Prone position에 의한 P/F 비 싱승량은 Low PEEP하에서 $205{\pm}90$ mm Hg로 Optimal PEEP($33{\pm}33$ mm Hg) 하에서 보다 유의하게 높았다(각각 p<0.05). 2. Prone position의 혈류역학적 효과 Low PEEP하에서 심박출량은 supine position($3.0{\pm}0.7$ L/min) 과 비교하여 prone position 5분 $3.3{\pm}0.7$ L/min(p=0.0180)로 증가하였고 prone position 30분 $3.7{\pm}0.8$ L/min(p=0.0630)로 차이가 없었다. 분당맥박수는 각각 $141{\pm}22\;min^{-1}$, $141{\pm}22\;min^{-1}$(p=0.8658) 및 $176{\pm}28\;min^{-1}$(p=0.0280)이었고 폐동맥쐐기압은 차이가 없었다. Optimal PEEP하에서 평균동맥압은 각각 $87{\pm}19$ mm Hg, $107{\pm}18$ mm Hg(p=0.0180) 및 $108{\pm}16$ mm Hg(p=0.0180), 심박출량은 각각 $2.4{\pm}0.5$ L/min, $3.3{\pm}0.6$ L/min(p=0.0180) 및 $3.6{\pm}0.7$ L/min(p=0.0180), 그리고 박출용적은 각각 $14{\pm}2$ml, $20{\pm}2$ ml(p=0.0180) 및 $21{\pm}2$ ml(p=0.0180)였다. 분당맥박수는 체위 변경에 따른 차이가 없었고 폐동맥쐐기압은 각각 $10.1{\pm}2.4$ mm Hg, $9.1{\pm}2.7$ mm Hg(p=0.0180) 및 $9.0{\pm}3.1$ mm Hg(p=0.0679) 이었다. Optimal PEEP하 prone position에서 다시 supine position으로 체위를 바꾸고 5분 후 평균동맥압은 $92{\pm}23$ mm Hg, 심박출량은 $2.4{\pm}0.5$ L/min, 그리고 박출용적은 $14{\pm}1$ ml로 모두 감소하였다(모두 p<0.05). 결 론 : 잡종견 급성폐손상 모델에서 prone position은 비교적 낮은 수준 PEEP의 폐산소화 호전 효과를 중대시켰고, 비교적 놓은 수준 PEEP에 의한 심박출량 저하를 완화시켰다. 이러한 결과들은 심박출량을 유지하면서 폐산소화를 호전시키고자 하는 ARDS 환자에서의 기계환기의 목표를 달성하는데 있어 prone position이 supine position보다 유리하다는 것을 시사한다.

This study examined the concentration level of the major air pollutants in public transportation. The study was conducted between February 2009 and March 2008 at Suwon-Yeosu line in Korea. $PM_{10}$ concentration level was $100{\mu}g/m^3$ on average. The $PM_{2.5}$ to PM10 ratio in transport is 0.37, which was lower than the results published by other researches. The result also demonstrated that outdoor $PM_{10}$ concentration was about 56~60% level compared to that of the cabin. $CO_2$ concentration level in the cabin was 1,359ppm, which does not exceed 2,000ppm, which is the guideline concentration level according to the Ministry of Environment. $CO_2$ concentration level in the cabin was $CO_2=23.4{\times}N+460.2$, and about 23.4ppm in $CO_2$ concentration level increased every time one passenger was added on. The experiment conducted on the train demonstrated that the average $PM_{10}$ concentration level was $100{\mu}g/m^3$ in case of the reference cabin while average $PM_{10}$ concentration level of the modified vehicle was $68{\mu}g/m^3$. Likewise, effect of the particle reduction device for the reduction of $PM_{10}$ concentration level was approximately 21%. Meanwhile there was almost no difference in the concentration level between reference and modified cabin in case of $PM_{2.5}$. Using zeolite as an adsorbent was made to reduce the $CO_2$ concentration level in the cabin. Number of passengers was factored in, to calculate the effect of the adsorption device, which demonstrated that about 36% of $CO_2$ concentration level was reduced in the modified cabin effect of the $CO_2$ reduction device. This research analyzed the current status concerning the quality of air in the public transportation and technologies were developed that reduces major air pollutants.

Introduction: This study evaluated the capability of silk fibroin (SF) and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 loaded SF (SF-BMP) as a bone defect replacement matrix when grafted in a calvarial bone defect of rats in vivo. Materials and Methods: A total 70 calvarial critical size defects (5.0 mm in diameter) made on 35 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. The defects were transplanted with (1) rhBMP-2 loaded silk fibroin graft (SF-BMP: 0.8+$10\;{\mu}g$), (2) Silk fibroin (SF: $10\;{\mu}g$), and (3) no graft material (Raw). The samples were evaluated with soft x-rays, alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium/phosphate quantification, histological and histomorphometric analysis at postoperative 4 and 8 weeks. Results: The SF-BMP group ($48.86{\pm}14.92%$) had a significantly higher mean percentage bone area than the SF group ($24.96{\pm}11.01%$) at postoperative 4 weeks.(P<0.05) In addition, the SF-BMP group ($40.01{\pm}12.43%$) had a higher % bone area at postoperative 8 weeks than the SF group ($33.26{\pm}5.15%$). The mean ratio of gray scale levels to the host bone showed that the SF-BMP group ($0.67{\pm}0.08$) had a higher mean ratio level than the SF group ($0.61{\pm}0.09$) at postoperative 8 weeks. These differences were not statistically significant.(P=0.168 and P=0.243, respectively) The ratio of the calcium and phosphate contents of the SF-BMP ($0.93{\pm}0.22$) group was lower than that of the SF ($1.90{\pm}1.42$) group at postoperative 4 weeks. However, the SF-BMP group ($0.75{\pm}0.31$) had a higher Ca/$PO_4$ ratio than the SF ($0.68{\pm}0.04$) at postoperative 8 weeks. These differences were not statistically significant.(P=0.126 and P=0.627, respectively) For the bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, which is recognized as a reliable indicator of the osteoblast function, the SF-BMP ($23.71{\pm}8.60\;U/L$) groups had a significantly higher value than the SF group ($12.65{\pm}6.47\;U/L$) at postoperative 4 weeks.(P<0.05) At postoperative 8 weeks, the SF-BMP ($21.65{\pm}10.02\;U/L$) group had a lower bone-specific ALP activity than the SF group ($16.72{\pm}7.35\;U/L$). This difference was not statistically significant.(P=0.263) For the histological evaluation, the SF-BMP group revealed less inflammation, lower foreign body reactions and higher bone healing than the SF group at postoperative 4 and 8 weeks. The SF group revealed more foreign body reactions at postoperative 4 weeks. However, this immunogenic reaction decreased and the remnant of grafted material was observed at postoperative 8 weeks. For histomorphometric analysis, the SF-BMP group had a significantly longer bone length to total length ratio than those of the SF group at postoperative 4 and 8 weeks.(P<0.05) Conclusion: The rhBMP-2 loaded silk fibroin graft revealed fewer immunoreactions and inflammation as well as more new bone formation than the pure silk fibroin graft. Therefore, silk fibroin may be a candidate scaffold for tissue engineered bone regeneration.

Background: Polycythaemia rubra vera (PV) is a Philadelphia chromosome negative myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by increased red cell production, independent of the mechanisms that regulate normal erythropoiesis. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinico-epidemiological profile of Pakistani patients with PV. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cross sectional study, 26 patients with PV were enrolled from January 2010 to December 2014. They were diagnosed based on WHO criteria. Results: The mean age was $53.4{\pm}9.31years$ (range 36-72) and the male to female ratio was 2:1. Overall 30.7% of patients were asymptomatic. In symptomatic patients, major complaints were headache (30.8%), abdominal discomfort (23.1%), blurred vision (15.3%), pruritus (11.5%) and vascular incidents (11.5%). Physical examination revealed plethoric face and splenomegaly as predominant findings, detected in 34.6% and 30.7%, respectively, with the mean splenic span of $15.9{\pm}2.04cm$. The mean hemoglobin was $18.1{\pm}1.9g/dl$ with the mean hematocrit of $55.6{\pm}8.3%$. The mean total leukocyte count was $12.8{\pm}7.1{\times}10^9/l$ and the platelet count $511{\pm}341.9{\times}10^9/l$. Mean erythrocyte sedimentation rate was $3.5{\pm}1.22mm/hr$. Serum lactate dehydrogenase, serum creatinine and uric acid were $552.7{\pm}309.2$, $0.8{\pm}0.17$ and $6.60{\pm}1.89$ respectively. Conclusions: PV in Pakistani patients, unlike in the West, is seen in a moderately young population. The disease is frequently seen in male gender and primarily patients present with symptoms related to hyperviscosity.

This study was carried out to collect the basic data about gestation lengths and offspring's birth weights and sex ratio of the dairy recipients transferred with Hanwoo IVF embryos. Blastocysts cultured for $7{\sim}8$ days were transferred to 96 and 167 heads for the basic data about gestation length and offspring's birth weight and sex ratio of the dairy recipients, respectively. The gestation lengths of the dairy recipients transferred with Hanwoo IVF embryos were $287.3{\pm}11.2$ ($257{\sim}311$) and $284.1{\sim}7.7$ ($266{\sim}295$) days in male and female of the offspring, respectively. The gestation lengths of the recipients were $290.7{\pm}10.4$, $285.8{\pm}3.4$, $280.0{\pm}9.3$ and $286.1{\pm}7.9$ days in spring, summer, autumn and winter of the calving season, respectively, and were significantly different among the calving season (p<0.05). The birth weights of male and female calves were $25.5{\pm}2.4$ ($21{\sim}30$) and $26.3{\pm}3.9$ ($21{\sim}40$ kg in offsprings of the dairy recipients transferred with Hanwoo IVF embryos, respectively. The sex ratio was 90.7 in the offsprings of the dairy recipients transferred with Hanwoo IVF embryos.
