연구목적: 변연적합도는 보철수복물의 성공을 좌우하는 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. McLean과 von Fraunhofer등에 의하면 120 ${\mu}m$ 이하를 임상적으로 허용할 수 있다고 했는데, 이를 넘는 정확하지 않은 변연은 지각과민을 일으키거나 이차 우식을 일으키고, 치태 축적을 용이하게 하여 보철물의 수명을 단축시키게 된다. 이에 최근에 우리나라에 소개되어 임상적으로 사용되고 있는 CAD-CAM 전부도재 수복물 중 $LAVA^{(R)}$ 시스템 (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN)과 $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 시스템 (KaVo Dental GmbH, Biberach, Germany)으로 제작한 지르코니아 전부 도재관들이 도재전장 금속주조 수복물과 비교해 보아 코핑 상태일 때와 도재축성 후 각각 변연적합도의 차이가 있는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 재료와 방법: 상악 제1소구치 덴티폼 치아를 high speed diamond bur 로 교합면 2.0 mm, 순설면 1.0 mm, 그리고 변연은 chamfer margin을 6도 측면 경사 절삭 기계로 균일하게 제작해서 이를 인상 채득하여 금속 지대치를 제작하였다. 이를 덴티폼 모형상에 장착한 후 전악인상을 채득하여 $LAVA^{(R)}$ 수복물 코핑, $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 수복물 코핑, 그리고 도재전장 금속주조 수복물 코핑을 각각 8개씩 제작하였다. 이들 코핑을 염색제를 섞은 Fit-checker $II^{(R)}$ (GC Cor., Tokyo, Japan)를 이용하여 금속 지대치에 접합시킨 뒤, $Microhiscope^{(R)}$ system (HIROX KH-1000 ING Plus, Seoul, Korea)을 이용하여 300배율로 관찰하면서 변연 간격을 ${\mu}m$단위로 측정하였다. 도재축성 후에도 마찬가지 방법으로 모든 수복물의 변연간격을 측정하여 통계 처리를 하였다. 결과: 코핑 상태에서의 평균 변연간격 값은 $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 에서 $52.00{\pm}11.94\;{\mu}m$, $LAVA^{(R)}$ 는 $ 56.97{\pm}10.00\;{\mu}m$, 그리고 도재 전장 금속 주조 수복물은 $97.38{\pm}18.54\;{\mu}m$를 보였고, 도재축성 후에 평균 변연 간격값은 $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 는 $61.69{\pm}19.33\;{\mu}m$, $LAVA^{(R)}$ 는 $70.81{\pm}12.99\;{\mu}m$, 그리고 도재 전장 금속 주조 수복물은 $115.25{\pm}23.86\;{\mu}m$를 보였다. 결론: 1. $LAVA^{(R)}$ 와 $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 수복물은 도재 전장 금속 주조 수복물과 비교하여 각각 코핑상태일 때와 도재 축성 후 모두 유의성 있는 (P < .05) 차이를 보이는 우수한 변연 적합도를 나타내었다. 2. $LAVA^{(R)}$ 와 $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 수복물 간의 평균 변연 간격 비교에서 코핑 상태일 때와 도재 축성 후에 모두 유의성 있는 차이는 없었다 (P > .05). 3. $LAVA^{(R)}$과 $EVEREST^{(R)}$ 그리고 PFM 은 각각 코어 상태일 때와 비교하여 도재 축성 후 변연 간격에서 약간 증가되었으나 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지는 않았다 (P > .05).

실험적으로 좌골신경에 압궤손상을 유발한 흰쥐에 홍삼사포닌을 투여하여 손상된 말초신경의 회복에 미치는 홍삼사포닌의 효과를 광학현미경과 전자현미경적 관찰을 통한 조직ㆍ형태학적 평가를 실시한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 손상된 신경재생에 가장 유효한 홍삼사포닌의 농도를 확인하기 위하여 50 mg/kg, 100mg/kg, 150mg/kg의 홍삼사포닌을 3주간 투여한 결과 150 mg/kg의 홍삼사포닌이 가장 효과적이었다. 2. 홍삼사포닌이 신경재생에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 150 mg/kg의 홍삼사포닌을 1주 간격으로 1주부터 3주까지 투여한 결과 총 유수신경섬유 수는 홍삼사포닌 투여군에서는 1주에서 2주 사이에 급격히 증가를 하고 3주에서는 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나 대조군에서는 1주에서 3주까지 꾸준히 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 총 유수신경섬유 수가 홍삼사포닌 투여군에 비하여 대조군이 현저히 적은 양이지만 증가하는 양상을 보이는 것은 축삭절단만 시키고 신경 연결을 완전히 절단하지 않았기 때문에 어느 정도 자연회복이 이루어지고 있음을 의미한다. 그러나 홍삼사포닌 투여군에서는 대조군 보다 많은 수의 유수신경섬유 수를 가지고 이로 인해 홍삼사포닌은 말초신경 손상 시 재생에 효과가 있음을 알 수 있다. 특히 홍삼사포닌 투여군에서 1주와 2주 사이에 큰 차이를 나타내는 것은 신경 재생의 초기 단계에 효과를 나타내는 것으로 생각된다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 말초신경 손상 시 홍삼사포닌을 투여하는 것은 자연 회복의 속도를 촉진시키는 효과가 있으므로 신경손상 시 홍삼사포닌을 투여하는 방법을 임상에 적용한다면 조기에 신경재생을 유도할 수 있을 것이라고 사료된다.다.X>$_4$ ratio도 대조그룹 대비 RFEY-1.0, RFEY-3.0, RFEY-5.0의 투여그룹은 각각 39.5%, 67.3% 및 96.3%의 유의적인 증가효과가 인정되었다. 이상의 실험 결과를 종합해 볼 때 장미열매 추출물을 주재로 한 장미 요구르트의 항스트레스작용은 매우 효과적일 것으로 기대된다.cetate, jupinene, $\delta$-cadinene, germa acrene, farnesol 등이 검출되었고 원자방출검출기 (AED)를 이용하여 분석한 결과, 특이적인 황화합물 및 질소화합물 등이 검출되지 않았다.한 수술 전 평가 등을 통해 중장기 개통률을 향상시킬 수 있다.25^{\circ}C$에서 49.30% (76.66mg/kg)로 나타나 주로 $25^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 발현한 것으로 나타났다. 3. 배양온도에서 검지 된 뷰틸산의 량은 6일 동안 돈분에서 1,463.87mg/kg, 계분에서 96.72mg/kg, 우분에서 129.18mg/kg이 발현되었으며 돈분의 경우 93.31%(1,365.95mg/kg)가 $25^{\circ}C$에서 발현되었고 이 중 87.92%가 3일령, 4일령과 6일령에 집중적으로 나타났다. 계분의 경우 $37^{\circ}C$ 처리구에서 76.60%(74.09 mg/kg)로 발현되었고 이 중 88%가 1일령, 2일령과 5일령에 집중적으로 나타났다. 우분의 경우 61.55%(79.51mg/kg)가 $25^{\circ}C$에서 발현되었고 이 중 89.6%가 1일령, 3일령과 4일령에 집중적으로 나타났다. 4.

악골과 구강은 피부, 근육, 입술, 뺨, 치은, 혀, 점막 등의 다양한 연조직으로 구성되어 있으며, 악구강계의 정상적인 기능을 평가하기 위해서는 각 연조직의 특성을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 또한 각 조직의 질병 이환 여부와 치료 전후의 상태를 평가, 비교하는 것도 중요하므로 이를 평가하기 위한 다양한 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 특히, 최근에는 촉각센서(tactile sensor)라는 새로운 기기가 개발되면서 연조직의 탄성 및 경도와 관련된 특성을 밝히려는 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 구강안면동통과 관련성이 높은 측두근, 교근 및 승모근의 근육상태를 촉각센서를 이용하여 평가함에 있어 먼저 술자간, 술자내 신뢰도를 조사하고자 하였다. 건강한 성인 남자 5명의 좌우측 전측두근, 교근 및 상부승모근의 경도와 탄성을 촉각센서(Venustron II, Axiom Co., Japan)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 각 근육당 표본수는 10개였다. 피검자를 의자에 바로 앉힌 다음, 피검자의 안면피부에 촉각센서의 probe를 각 근육에 수직되게 위치시켜 근육의 경도와 탄성을 측정하였다. 교근과 전측두근은 수축시 최대풍융부를 촉진하여 펜으로 표시하고 치아가 가볍게 닿게 한 안정 상태에서 센서의 probe를 근육의 최대풍융부에 수직으로 motor-drive를 이용하여 눌러서 측정하였다. 승모근은 상부를 촉진하여 표시한 다음, 동일한 방법으로 측정하였다. 피검자에 대하여 같은 날 2명의 술자가 각각 근육의 경도와 탄성의 변화를 측정하여 술자간 신뢰도 조사하였고, 2일 뒤 다시 한번 측정하여 술자내 신뢰도를 조사하였으며 통계분석에는 Correlation coefficient 및 Paired t-test를 이용하였다. 실험결과, 전측두근, 교근 및 상부승모근의 경도와 탄성에 대한 두 검사자의 평균값은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며 서로 높은 상관관계를 보여주었다. 또한 한 검사자가 2일의 간격을 두고 시행한 두 번의 검사에서도 두 검사간 평균값은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며 서로 높은 상관관계를 보여주었다. 즉, 촉각센서를 사용한 교근과 전측두근 및 상부승모근의 경도와 탄성의 평가는 높은 술자간, 술자내 신뢰도를 보여주었으며, 두경부 근육을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 재현성 높고 효과적인 검사법이라고 할 수 있다.

The objective of this study was to clarify whether there are any differences between normal and over-weight middle-aged(40∼59yrs)women in their perceived weight, health status, health conception and health behavior choices. The sample consisted of 39 normal weight and 55 over-weight (11％ above on the Body Index Scale) women who live in Juan, Inchon. The Participants were randomly selected in each weight group considering socio-demographic factors. The findings from this study are summarized below. 1) Among the 55 overweight middle-aged women, 16 were above 20％ on the Body Index Scale and 14 were above 30％. Twenty-five(45.5％) of the overweight group and 12(30.8％) of the normal weight group had one disease, and there were 12(21.8％) in the overweight group and 8(20.5％) in the normal weight group where one of the family members had a disease, but these differences were not statistically significant. The average monthly family income for the overweight group was ￦l,880,000 compared to ￦2,140, 000 for the normal weight group, but this difference was also not significant. The age range for the whole group was between 40 and 59(mean＝46.8 for total, 48.6 for overweight and 45.7 for normal weight group). Again no significant difference found. Occupations were housemaker 53(56.4％), private business(13.8％), salarywoman(9.6％), and teacher (2.1％). Thirty housemaker(54.5％) from the overweight group and 23(59％) from the normal group did not constitute a statistically significant different. For the educational status, 34(61.8％) of the overweight women and 33(84.6％)of the normal weight group finished high school or more educational courses, but there was no significant statistical difference. Eleven(20.0％) of the overweight women and 5(12. 8％) of the normal weight group were single, but again no significant statistical difference was found. 2) A test for difference in health characteristics between two weight groups indicated that two groups do not show statistical differences in their perceived health status, health conception or health behavior choice. That is, the overweight group, also perceive their health status as good as the normal group, and regard ‘Health’ as a state that enables them to carry out social roles and functions rather than as the traditional concept of health as no disease or no symptoms. Moreover. the overweight group selected their health behaviors not for the prevention of diseases or maintenance of health but for promotion of health. To determine if no statistical difference might be related to the overweight group's failure of perceive themselves as overweight, the perceived and objective overweight status were compared by the chi-square analysis, and no difference was found（X/sup²＝49.37, df＝1, p＝.000）. However, 7(17.9％) of the normal group perceived themselves as being overweighted and 7(12.7％) of the overweight group thought they were of normal weight. Even though the overweight group employed in this study perceived themselves as being overweight, they regarded themselves as healthy as those in the normal weight group. It was shown that there was no statistical difference between two groups in health conception, and that they chose health behaviors to promote health status. 3) Perceived health conception was shown to be significantly related to health behavior choice （r＝ .28, p＝.006 for whole group : r＝.33, p＝.014 for overweight group : and r＝.12. p＝.463 for normal group） .There was an indication that the more complicated the perceived health conception was, the more the trend of health behavior choice to promote health. This was especially true for the overweight group. But, the perceived health status did not related to health behavior choice statistically（r＝.13, p＝.202）, and it was thought that reasons for selecting health behaviors were not related to their health status. That is, the overweight group perceive themselves as healthy as the normal weight group or thought that overweight itself does not incur any risk on their health. Data from two groups were combined and analyzed with multiple regression methodology, because the relationship pattern of the two groups was similar. The analysis showed that health behavior has a significant relationship with age and the perceived health conception（r/sup²＝.1517, p=.05, F＝8.133）. It means they come to health behavior along with their health conception and their age rather than their weights, perceived weight, health status or other social characteristics. This study was intended to understand how overweight middle-aged women perceive ‘weight’ and ‘health’, and how they meet their health related needs in comparison with normal weight middle-aged women. Other factors related to the health behavior in overweight middle-aged woman need to be determined through further descriptive studies outlined in the following recommendations. a) Reseach with the study area expanded. b) Reseach with grouping more detailed : much more overweight and underweight group c) Reseach on restricted relationship between overweight and age or profession. d) Reseach on what overweight middle-aged women do to reduce their weight and what factors motivate them to do it

본 연구는 토파즈의 인공착색 처리 방법을 설정하기 위하여 브라질, 중국, 인도, 나이지리아, 스리랑카 등 5개국에서 산출된 토파즈를 대상으로, 전자현미분석(EPMA), 중성자활성분석(NAA), X선 회절분석, 라만 분광분석, 주사현미경(SEM), 부식시험, 굴절률측정, 비중측정, 유체 포유물 관찰 등의 실험을 실시하여 광물학적, 화학적 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과 토파즈는 산지에 따라 화학적, 구조적 및 물리적 특성의 차이를 나타내었으며 특히, F와 OH 고용체 함량의 차이는 물리적, 구조적 특성과 밀접한 관련성이 있음이 확인되었다. F에 대한 OH로 치환정도가 가장 높은 인도산 토파즈는 굴절률, 단위포상수 b, 단위포 체적 및 ${\Delta}021$값이 가장 크고, 비중값은 가장 작으며 스리랑카산, 중국산, 브라질산, 나이지리아산순으로 F에 대한 OH로 치환 정도가 낮다. F에 대한 OH로 치환정도가 가장 낮은 나이지리아산 토파즈는 굴절률, 단위포상수 b, 단위포 체적 및 ${\Delta}021$값이 가장 작고, 비중값은 가장 크다. 토파즈내에 함유되는 미량원소종은 Na, Fe, Br, Co, Ce, La, Sm, Th, Au, Sc, Cr 등이며 이러한 미량원소의 정성정량적 특성은 물리적 특성에는 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 라만 분광분석 결과 토파즈의 피크는 산지에 따라 강도의 차이를 나타내었으며 브라질산과 인도산은 455∼458($cm^{-1}$)근처의 피크, 중국산은 282∼284($cm^{-1}$) 근처의 피크가 나타나지 않았다. 산지에 따른 결정구조결함 특성은 주로 point-bottom pit의 negative crystal defect(인도산, 나이지리아산)와 curl-bottom pit의 net work defect(브라질산, 중국산)로 구분되며, 결정내에 발달하는 미세한 균열을 따라 형성된 선결함 양상(linear defect)을 보여준다. 유체 포유물의 특징은 브라질산이 액상 $CO_2$를 가지는 III형이고, 중국산에는 유체 포유물이 거의 관찰되지 않으며 단지 $10{\mu}m$이하의 매우 작은 크기인 초생포유물의 극소량 존재한다. 인도산은 기체가 풍부한 II형이고, 나이지리아산은 암염, 실바이트 등의 고체 포유물을 함유하는 IV형이며 스리랑카산은 거의 대부분의 유체 포유물이 2차 생성의 I형이 주로 형성되어 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 광물학적 특성의 차이를 갖는 산지별 토파즈의 인공착색을 위한 처리 방법을 설정하는 유용한 기초 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

Objectives: This study was designed to develop and evaluate a stage matched exercise intervention program to effectively increase exercise behaviors in urban elders. Methods: The study included three phases: preliminary descriptive data collection, program development, and program evaluation. The data for the preliminary descriptive phase were collected between May and June 2001. The study participants were 89 urban elders who responded a questionnaire that included general characteristics, exercise related experiences, stage, and process of change in exercise behaviors. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, $x^2$-test, and content analysis. Development of the program was based on the preliminary data. and a literature review, and was guided by the tran theoretical model. It consisted of strategies to facilitate the process of changes used in each stage. Evaluation of the program was achieved from October to December 2001, using a case study method, in which eight urban female elders participated. Interviews were conducted on a weekly basis in the form of either an individual interview, or group discussion. Each elder subject received education in accordance with the program strategies and education materials. In the case that a subject's stage of change moved into another one, the scores for the process of change were re-measured. The data were analyzed using the content analysis technique. Results: The results were as follows: 1. Elders who participated in the preliminary data collection phase were over 75 years of age, and the majority of them were women. They had a higher educational level, and fewer number of illnesses than the subjects in other studies. Their stage of change was divided into pre-contemplation and maintenance. The social liberation scores were the highest across all stages of change. There was no difference between men and women on scores for processes of change in each stage. 2. The stage matched exercise intervention program that was developed in this study consisted of one counseling type program and three distinguished educational booklet materials. 3. The results of the case studies are as follows: 1) The study participants were 8 women between 75 and 87 years of age. At the first interviews, all of them were in the pre-contemplation stage. All of them reached the action stage before the 7th week. The scores for processes of change that were the focus in each stage increased more than the scores for other processes of change. During the early stages of change, experimental processes increased more than behavioral processes. However. this pattern was reversed during later stages of change. 2) Characteristics of the subjects in each stage were identical as presented at the tran theoretical model. The intervention strategies were effective in the transition occurred in any stage. 3) Barriers for exercise included unwillingness to exercise, fatigue, shortness of breath, and pain. Ways to overcome these barriers were 'learning an alternative exercise method that can be done at home', 'self-promising/ exercise-promising', and 'use of cues to exercise'. 4) The factors that affected the application of the program were consideration of age and personal preference in selecting an exercise pattern, individualized intervention, and use of education materials appropriate to elders. Women over 80 years of age preferred muscle strengthening and stretching exercise, because they can be easily done at home. They also preferred individualized interventions, materials that were easy to read, and education contents appropriate for elders. Conclusion: In conclusion, the stage matched exercise intervention program that considered the characteristics of the elders was effective to facilitate exercise behaviors of the elders.

For the last decades, service quality has been studied as one of the most important tools for a service company to compete with the other companies. Based on these past researches, it has been agreed that the service quality is a basic and powerful tool to create the competitive advantage. Due to similar reason, many service marketing practitioners have been also focused on the service quality to retain the existing consumers and collect the new consumers. However, service quality is subjectively perceived by individual consumers. Consumer evaluation of service quality can be different from each other. Especially consumers with one life-style may evaluate the service quality differently from the consumers with the other life-styles. Therefore we need to know whether there are differences in service quality perception on the categories of life-style. Life-style refers to a distinctive mode of living in its aggregate and broadest sense. It embodies the patterns that were developed and emerged from the dynamics of living in a society. Since the concept of life-style and its relationship to marketing was introduced in 1963 by William Lazer, methods of measuring the life-style and their application have been developed. Life-style has been usually used to segment the marketplace because it offers marketers a unique and important view of the market. When Life-style is combined with clustering methods, life-style segmentation can generate identifiable whole persons rather than isolated fragment. Life-style segmentation begins with people instead of products and classifies them into different life-style types, each characterized by a unique style of living based on a wide range of activities, interests, and opinions(Plummer, 1974). In this study we applies the life-style segmentation based on the AIO(Activities, Interests, and Opinions) to the consumers of the large discount stores. In Korea, the large discount store market has entered into maturity stage so that the market differentiation strategy is becoming a more critical issue to the marketing practitioners. One of the most important tools to differentiate from the competitors in large discount store market is continuously to provide service of better quality than competitors. This study tries to find answers about the following questions: 1) How can we categorize the consumer life-styles in the large discount store? 2) What are the characteristics of the categorized groups? 3) Are there any differences in service quality perception among the consumers with different life-styles 4) Are there any differences in consumer behavior among them in the large discount store? For the purpose, we collected survey data from consumers and analyzed the data with the SPSS package where we had $X^2$-test, factor analysis, ANOVA, MANOVA, and cluster analysis. The survey was made during one month in the April of 2008. Among the collected 306 copies of questionnaires, 281 copies were chosen as the effective samples for empirical analysis except 25 copies with wrong responses. To identify the life-style patterns, we used the measures employed by Kim and Kwon(1999), where 44 items on a seven-point scale were used to measure factors of the life-style patterns. The Principal Component Method was used for factor extraction, and the VARIMAX orthogonal factor rotation was employed. The 7 items showing low factor loading were eliminated. The results of the factor analysis suggested that nine factors of the life-style patterns were identified as follows: 1) the equality-of-sexes and pursuit-of-independence tendency 2) self-management tendency 3) sociable tendency 4) self-display tendency 5) degree of a dilettante life 6) pursuit-of-information tendency 7) bargain hunter tendency 8) TV preference tendency 9) pursuit-of-leisure tendency. Next, after the K-means cluster analysis was performed with nine factors of the life-style patterns, the life-styles of the respondents were classified into four groups which are named as the 'progressive practicality-oriented group', 'positive success-oriented group', 'sociable ostentation-oriented group', 'stable conservation-oriented group'. The analysis results for usage behavior between the market segments showed statistically significant differences in the frequency of usage, duration time in the store, consumer satisfaction, and loyalty. Also, we tried to investigate whether the large discount store consumers differently perceive the quality of service based upon the types of life-style. To measure the service quality of large discount store, we adapted several measurement models measuring the service quality such as SERVPERF, BCP, R-SERVPERF, R-BCP. MANOVA and One-Way ANOVA were performed to confirm the difference in service quality perception based on the market segments. The results have also shown significant differences between life-style types in service quality perception. These findings show that the large discount store marketers should consider consumer life-style as one of the most important market segments for marketing and understand the difference in service quality perception between life-style types. Our findings give important implications to marketers of large discount stores as well as life-style researchers. First, this study showed there were significant differences in consumer's service quality perception and usage behavior between the types of life-style. It provides evidence that the life-style approach can be a important basis in segmenting the large discount store market and will make consumers perceive the service quality high. Second, most previous researches on service quality have been in aggregate level. However, our results imply that the future research on service quality have to focus on segment level.

The purposes of this study were to identify the contents and satisfaction level of the patients received home care service, and to compare the differences of the contents by the characteristics of the patients. Seventy eight patients received home care service from 1st Jan. to 30th Sept., 1996 were data-collected to analyze the contents and outcomes of home care service. Sixty-nine patients currently receiving home care service were participated to evaluate the satisfaction level of home care service. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, $x^2$ test, and ANOVA by SPSS $PC^+$ program. The findings of this study were as follow : 1. The contents & outcomes of home care service 1) The mean age of the subjects was 64.4 years: 58% of them were female. Those who living in Seoul were 83% and the rest of the subjects was living in Kyung-Gi. 2) The subjects who had one diagnosis were 41%. Over 60% of them had the disease of neurologic & sensory system. 3) The mean number of visit was 6. Only one visit was 22%. The mean time of care was 79 minutes. Duration of visit from 31 minutes to 60 minutes were 47 %. The subjects who terminated the visit because of death were 67.3%. 62% of the persons who referred them to the home care service were nurses. 4) The pain after the service was more relieved than before. The amounts of intake, the degree of bed sore, edema & fracture after the service were more improved than before. Health status after the service was improved in general. 5) There were significant differences between initial and last conscious level in tracheostomy care & oxygen inhalation care. There was significant difference between initial and last degree of activity in blood sugar check. 6) There were significant differences on the number of visit in assessment of the status, evaluation & observation, vital sign check, skin care, injection, medication, bed sore care, colostomy care, relaxation therapy for pain relief, patient education, family care, exercise therapy, position change, supply of disinfected equipments and infection control. There were significant differences on visiting time in nasogastric tube care, drainage tube care and oxygen inhalation care. 2. The satisfaction level of home care service 1) 50% were male. Over 60 years of the subjects was 61 %. Those who living in Seoul were 82%. 2) The subjects who had one or two diagnosis were 32% respectively. 55% of the persons who referred them to the home care service were nurses. 3) Total level of satisfaction of home care service was very high. 4) The older the age, the higher the satisfaction level. The larger the number of visit, the higher the satisfaction level. 5) The subjects who were in cloudy state were higher level of satisfaction than in alert or coma state. The subjects whose activity were normal or who needed assistance were higher level of satisfaction than bedridden or immobilized subjects. These findings suggested that the patients had substantial need for posthospital care. They tended to be elderly and to have experienced the wide range of health problems associated with aging, chronicity, including limitations in activities, and other serious health problems. So, the nationwide home care systems beyond the limit of demonstration program by local association and the development of the effective financial system of home based health care are necessary for the clients who are in need of home care.

PET/CT에서 환자피폭 문제로 인해 저 선량의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 사용되던 CT 데이터를 이용한 감쇠보정법인 CTAC와 새롭게 적용된 Q.AC를 환자실험과 팬텀 실험을 통해 저 선량으로 촬영 시 PET 영상에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 실험장비는 GE사의 PET/CT Discovery 710 (GE Healthcare, USA)를 사용하였으며 팬텀실험으로 감쇠보정의 정량적 평가를 위한 NEMA IEC body phantom과 균일성 평가를 위한 Uniform NU2-94 phantom을 사용하였다. 각각의 팬텀 내부에 동위원소 18-F FDG를 70.78 MBq, 22.2 MBq 주입하고 CT조건은 저 선량조건으로 80 kVp, 10 mA로부터 일반선량 조건으로 140 kVp, 120 mA 조건까지 스캔 후 CTAC와 Q.AC 두 감쇠보정법을 적용하여 재구성하였다. PET 영상에서 일반선량 조건을 기준값으로 정하고 horizomtal profile과 vertical profile을 통해 정량평가를 시행하고 기준값과의 상대적 오차를 평가하였다. 또한 환자실험으로 정상체중 환자와 과체중 환자를 구분하여 저 선량과 일반선량으로 비교 촬영한 뒤 CTAC와 Q.AC로 재구성된 PET영상에서 주요장기별 SUV에 대한 상대적 오차와 신호 대 잡음비를 비교분석하였다. 팬텀실험 결과 저선량 조건에서 CTAC와 Q.AC로 각각 재구성한 PET 영상의 profile과 상대적 오차에서 CTAC보다 Q.AC가 기준값과의 오차가 적은 그래프를 얻었다. 환자실험의 경우 일반선량 조건에서는 정상체중 환자와 과체중 환자 모두 감쇠보정법에 따른 상대적 오차값의 변화가 적었으나 저 선량 조건에서는 정상체중 환자보다 과체중 환자에서 감쇠보정법의 변경에 의한 상대적 오차의 감소폭이 커짐으로 기준값과 차이가 감소하였다. 기존의 감쇠보정법인 CTAC는 80 kVp, 10 mA의 저선량 CT를 사용하는데 있어 PET 영상의 선속경화현상이 발생한다. 이로 인해 CTAC를 이용하여 재구성된 PET 데이터는 정량화하는데 문제가 될 수 있음을 확인했다. 반면에 새로운 알고리즘이 적용된 Q.AC는 과체중 환자의 경우 80 kVp, 10 mA 정도까지는 140 kVp, 120 mA 조건으로 촬영하여 재구성한 PET 데이터 결과와 차이가 적음을 확인할 수 있었다. Q.AC를 이용한 경우 기존보다 저 선량의 CT를 이용해 PET의 재구성에 이용할 수 있으므로 환자의 피폭을 줄이는 데 큰 역할을 할 것으로 기대한다.
