국면의 먹거리를 책임지고 있는 우리 축산이 변화의 시기를 맞이했다. 2005년부터 "국가 항생제 내성관리사업" 일환으로 축산용 항생제 절감 정책이 추진되어 사용가능한 배합사료 제조용 항생제가 단계적으로 축소되어 왔는데 2011년 7월이면 전면 금지될 것이다. 배합사료 제조용 항생제 사용금지로 인해 생산성 감소, 질병 발생률 증가, 축산물 품질 저하, 치료용 항생제 사용량 증가 등의 문제가 유발될 수 있다는 우려의 목소리도 들린다. 그러나 효율적으로 대처한다면 축산 선진국으로 도약할 수 있는 기회가 될 수 있다고 생각한다. 성장촉진용 항생제를 사용한 목적은 가축 생산성 향상과 질병 예방에 있으며 이들의 배제 시 가장 우려되는 부분 역시 생산성 감소와 질병 발생 증가이다. 가축의 생산성을 높이고 질병을 예방하기 위해 기본이 되는 것은 그 주체인 가축의 강건성을 키워주는 것이다. 가축 건강 증진을 통해 질병 및 환경에 대한 저항성을 키워주고 양과 질적 향상을 꾀할 수 있는 것이다. 이를 위해서는 양질의 사료 제공 쾌적한 사육환경 조성, 현대화된 사육시설, 정확한 백신 접종 및 효율적인 차단방역 등 가축을 둘러싼 내 외부 환경의 종합적인 관리가 기본이 되어야 하지만 본고에서는 생산성 향상 및 건강성 증진을 위한 방법으로 부각되고 있는 항생제 대체제에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

Objective: This study reports the effects of Gyejigeojakyakgachokchilmolyeoyonggol-tang (GCMYT) in a patient with insomnia after COVID-19 vaccination. Methods: GCMYT was used to treat insomnia following vaccination, and symptoms were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and a visual analog scale (VAS). Results: The patient's PSQI, ISI, and VAS scores decreased from 21 to 11, from 25 to 13, and from 7 to 3, respectively. Conclusion: GCMYT is an effective treatment for insomnia following COVID-19 vaccination.

Objectives : This study aimed to assess youth perception of COVID-19 vaccination in one Korean Medicine college, to compare according to COVID-19 vaccination. Method : An on-line survey using Google Form was conducted on students enrolled in one Korean medical college. Results : A total of 74 students out of 260 individuals replied, with 43 males and 31 females, 68 (91.9%) were vaccinated (or vaccine reserved), six (8.1%) were not vaccinated. The response rate was 28.5%. All the unvaccinated were intended to receive vaccines in the future. The vaccinated were most concerned about the adverse events. The unvaccinated responded that COVID-19 vaccine was unnecessary, not effective, not safe, and do not recommend vaccination to others compared to the vaccinated. Conclusion : In order to improve the COVID-19 vaccination rate, clear information on the risk of COVID-19 infection and the effects of vaccines should be known through the media.

The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) vaccine is expected to play an important role in stopping the pandemic. Studies show that COVID-19 vaccines are effective at keeping you from getting COVID-19. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine will also help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19. Efforts to find an effective vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 have progressed unprecedentedly through active support from public research grants and private-public partnership programs. Clinical studies have been actively conducted, and some vaccines are being vaccinated with approval for urgent use. The WHO has approved and supplied the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. In Korea, the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine was approved for urgent use, and vaccination began on February 26, 2021. In this paper, the efficacy and side effects of each vaccines and the effect on pilots and air traffic controllers related to COVID-19 vaccination were investigated in terms of aviation medicine.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report a case of lymphadenopathy and hearing loss in a patient after coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) vaccination. Methods: The patient diagnosed as lymphadenopathy and hearing loss(sensorineural hearing loss) after the first and second rounds of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination. We applied Korean medical treatment including herbal medicine and acupuncture for lymphadenopathy and SSNHL. We used VAS(Visual Analog Scale), CT-scan and Pure Tone Audiometry to estimate they symptoms. Results: After the treatment, general symptoms of lymphadenopathy and hearing loss including aural fullness showed big improvement. Conclusions: This case report shows effect of Korean medicine on lymphadenopathy and SSNHL and suggests a possibility of Korean medicine to treat adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination.

Vaccines can cause adverse reactions, such as soreness, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Some reactions are associated with fever and rash, which are usually mild and transient, and serious side effects are rare. In particular, there are no reports of systemic infection following a COVID-19 vaccination. The authors present a case report of a patient who developed multiple abscesses caused by Staphylococcus aureus after a COVID-19 vaccination. The patient had no previous symptoms or signs of infection. The patient was controlled successfully after surgical and antibiotics treatment.

최근 SARS-CoV-2 백신들의 예방접종이 진행됨에 따라 코로나 19 팬데믹의 종결이 예상되고 있다. 하지만 계속해서 출현 중인 변종 바이러스들은 팬데믹 종결의 위험요소로 남아있다. 본 논문에서는 사전학습된 단백질 BERT와 단백질-단백질 상호작용 모델을 활용한 SARS-CoV-2 스파이크 단백질의 변이 예측 분석 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 기술은 변이 단백질 서열의 예측과 변이 단백질과 human ACE2 수용체의 친화도에 따른 자연선택으로 이루어진다. 이를 통해 시간이 지나며 나타날 수 있는 변종 바이러스들을 시뮬레이션 할 수 있어 변종 바이러스들의 해결에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of herpes zoster in children and adolescents in Korea and to delineate the effects of varicella vaccine on the incidence of zoster and its complication. Methods : We evaluated the clinical records of 201 patients younger than 20 years admitted for herpes zoster at four hospitals located in Kyung-Gi provine during Jul. 1995 to Jun. 2005. Results : The admitted patients for herpes zoster have increased during the past 10 years. The effects of varicella vaccine on the incidence of herpes zoster remain inconclusive in this study. Only twelve percent of the study patients had underlying diseases. In 34(17%) of 201 patients, complications were confirmed during hospitalization. Of 34 patients, meningitis occurred most frequently. Irrespective of varicella vaccination, occurrence of complications was higher in patients who had experienced varicella previously(=overt varicella infection) than patients who had not(=subclinical varicella infection). In case of no previous varicella history, we found complications to be much lower in those who had received the varicella vaccine than those who had not. Conclusion : We cannot conclude whether the varicella vaccine has an effect on the increasing incidence of zoster. We can conclude that the subclinical varicella infection or vaccination for varicella might lead to a decreased incidence of zoster complications.

Purpose : Intradermal BCG vaccine has not well been accepted by pediatric practitioners due to BCG lymphadenitis. Therefore, this study was undertaken to find out the incidence of lymphadenitis following intradermal BCG vaccination and its clinical outcome. Methods : One thousand and fifty infants, who received intradermal BCG(French 1173 P2, Korea Tuberculosis Association) vaccination in the Well Baby Clinic of Hanyang University Hospital from July 2001 to January 2004, were included in the study. Severe local reactions at the injection site and any mass noted on surrounding areas were reported to, and evaluated by, pediatricians. Surgical procedures, either surgical resection or needle aspiration, were recommended when lymph nodes progressed to suppurate without regression. Results : Twenty infants(1.9 percent) developed lymphadenitis 2 to 8 months following vaccination. The incidence of BCG lymphadenitis was significantly higher in infants born with intrauterine period of <38 weeks and birth weight of <2,700 g. The lymph nodes became suppurative in 7/17 infants (41.2 percent) and four infants required surgical procedures with which the rate for the requirement of surgical procedures among intradermal BCG vaccinnes approximated to be 0.45 percent. There was no correlation between the size of lymph nodes and suppuration, however surgical procedures were required significantly more often for lymph nodes of greater than 3 cm in diameter. Conclusion : The incidence of BCG lymphadenitis following intradermal BCG(French 1173 P2, Korea Tuberculosis Association) vaccinations would be more than 1.9 percent, when considering cases of lymphadenits not reported. More efforts need to be paid to decrease the incidence of BCG lymphadenitis in order to promote intradermal BCG vaccination in Korea.
