배경: 본 연구는 국내 병원에서 분리된 methicillin 내성 Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin 내성 Enterococcus faecium (VREFM) 및 다제 내성 multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MRPA) 등에 대한 구리, 유기(구리 78%, 주석 22%), stainless steel의 살균력을 비교 실험하여, 국내 병원 환경에 의한 항생제 내성 균주 교차 감염을 예방하는 데 구리와 유기의 활용성을 분석하고자 하였다. 방법: MRSA, VREFM, MRPA 균주는 2017년 의정부성모병원에서 분리 동정된 wild type 3균주씩을 혼합하여 사용하였으며 모두 항생제 다제 내성 균주로 나타났다. MRSA, VREFM, MRPA 균주 각각을 Tryptic soy broth (Oxoid, England)에 접종하여 $35^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 배양한 후, 각각 초기 접종균액의 균수를 $10^5\;log\;CFU/mL$로 조정하였다. 구리, 유기, stainless steel 용기에 준비된 MRSA, VREFM, MRPA 접종균액 100 mL씩을 각각 접종한 후, 습도가 유지되도록 덮개를 덮은 후 $35^{\circ}C$ incubator에서 초기부터 9일까지 생존균수를 측정하였다. 결과: 본 연구결과 국내에서 분리된 항생제 다제 내성 MRSA, VREFM, MRPA 균주에 대한 구리 및 유기의 살균효과를 확인하였다. Stainless steel의 살균력은 구리 및 유기에 비해 매우 미약하였고, MRSA 및 VREFM에 비해 MRPA의 살균효과가 크게 나타났다. 결론: 교차감염을 예방하기 위하여 병원 내 문손잡이, 수도꼭지, 침대레일 등에 구리나 유기를 적용하여, 장기간 실험을 진행하고 있는 국외 사례와 같이, 국내 병원에서도 구리와 유기를 이용한 병원 내 교차 감염 예방 연구가 필요하다고 생각한다.

다중검출기컴퓨터단층촬영(multi-detector CT; 이하 MDCT)은 높은 정확도를 가진 진단도구로서 충수염과 그 합병증을 평가하기 위해 보편적으로 사용된다. MDCT 소견에 근거한 충수염의 진단은 영상 소견이 전형적인 모습과 일치하지 않을 때 어려울 수 있다. 비전형적인 충수염에는 충수 및 맹장의 위치이상을 동반하는 경우, 합병증이 나타난 경우 그리고 충수염을 모방하거나 유발하는 병리학적 소견을 동반한 경우 등 다양한 스펙트럼의 질환이 포함된다. 본 임상화보는 비전형적이고 복잡한 충수염 및 충수염과 유사한 상태의 다양한 스펙트럼을 위치이상, 드문 합병증 및 종양, 반응성 충수염, 충수게실염, IgG4 연관 질환을 포함한 병리학적 이상의 관점에서 설명했다. 본 임상화보를 통해 독자들은 다양한 스펙트럼의 비전형적 충수염 MDCT 소견에 더 익숙해질 수 있다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the Humpty Dumpty Falls Scale as one of the falls risk assessment tools, and also to evaluate risk factors as predictors of falls in pediatric patient populations. Methods: In a retrospective, case-control design with data from the electronic medical records of 13 pediatric patients who fell and 1,941 who did not fall before matching and 429 who did not fall after matching by gender, age, diagnosis, and length of stay. Results: All the variables showed no significant differences after matching. At the cutoff score of 13, sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values were 92.3%, 37.1%, 99.9%, and 0.01%, respectively. The area under the Receiver Operating Characteristics was 0.597. The results from the logistic regression showed that the pediatric inpatient population who had higher risk scores was significantly associated with falls. The odds ratios ranged from 1.31 to 4.71 with 90% confidence interval. Conclusion: The saturation impairments criterion as one of the diagnostic parameter was negatively associated with falls, but the relative risk score was higher than the other criteria. Therefore, it seems that the diagnostic parameter seems to be required to verify results through large sample studies.

Purpose: Owing to the increased agricultural use of the herbicide glufosinate ammonium (GLA), the incidence of GLA poisoning has recently increased. Therefore, we investigated the possible predictive factors associated with severe complications following GLA poisoning. Methods: A retrospective analysis of medical records was conducted based on 76 patients who had visited our regional emergency medical center with GLA poisoning from 2006 to 2017. Severe complications were defined as respiratory failure requiring intubation, systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) less than 8, and presence of seizure. Results: Age, ingested amount and ingested amount per weight were significantly greater in the severe group (p<0.001). PSS grade 2 or higher was more common in the severe group (p<0.001), and In addition, the APACHE II score was significantly higher in the severe group (p<0.001), as were the SOFA scores (p=0.002). Serum ammonia levels were significantly higher in the severe group (p=0.007), while MDRD-GFR was smaller in the severe group (p=0.002). The spot urine protein levels were significantly higher in the severe group (p=0.005), as was the urine protein to creatinine ratio (p=0.001). Upon multivariate analysis, the amount ingested per weight and PSS grade 2 or higher were identified as significant predictors. Conclusion: Our study showed that MDRD-GFR was significantly lower in the severe group after GLA poisoning. PSS grade 2 or higher and ingested amount per weight may be useful to evaluate the severity of complications after GLA poisoning.

In this part the writing group will cover strategies, techniques, and endpoints of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Prior to all, electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins is recommended during all AF ablation procedures. In addition, techniques to be used for ablation of persistent and long-standing persistent AF, adjunctive ablation strategies, nonablative strategies to improve outcomes of AF ablation, and endpoints for ablation of paroxysmal, persistent, and long-standing persistent AF will be reviewed. Currently many technologies and tools are employed for AF ablation procedures. Radiofrequency energy, cryoablation, and other energy sources and tools are in various stages of development and/or clinical investigation. Finally, anticoagulation strategies pre-, during, and postcatheter ablation of AF and technical aspects of ablation to maximize safety are discussed in this section.
